The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices Feb. 8 on AD/CVD proceedings:

Importer Vanguard National Trailer Corp. challenged CBP's finding that the company evaded the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on Chinese truck wheels, filing a complaint on Feb. 6 at the Court of International Trade. The importer said CBP improperly assessed AD/CVD on its entries from before May 12, 2021 -- the date on which the Commerce Department started a scope inquiry on whether Vanguard's truck wheels, imported from Thai manufacturer Asia Wheel, were covered by the AD/CVD orders (Vanguard National Trailer Corp. v. United States, CIT # 24-00034).

The following are short summaries of recent CBP NY rulings issued by the agency's National Commodity Specialist Division in New York:

Trade groups representing importers of motor vehicles are asking the Interagency Autos Committee to advocate for allowing used cars made during the NAFTA years to enter duty free if those vehicles qualified for NAFTA benefits, and to make it easier to prove that cars built since July 1, 2020, qualify for USMCA tariff benefits.

The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Thailand (A-549-820). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD rate for the only company under review, The Siam Industrial Wire Co., Ltd. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Siam entered Jan. 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2022, won't be assessed AD, and a zero percent AD cash deposit rate for Siam would take effect on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the final results of this review, which are due in June.
