The Commerce Department soon will suspend liquidation and impose countervailing duty cash deposit requirements on imports of chassis from Mexico and Thailand, it said in a fact sheet issued July 29. Commerce will set CVD rates at 133.18% for Mexican exporters and ranging from 2.24% to 9.42% for Thai exporters, the agency said as it announced its preliminary determinations in its ongoing CVD investigation. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will take effect for entries on or after the date of publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal Register, which should occur in the coming days. Commerce is conducting concurrent antidumping duty investigations on the same product from Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam, with a preliminary determination expected by Sept. 24.
