Changes to AD duty cash deposit requirements will take effect on the day Commerce's final determination is published in the Federal Register.

An ongoing criminal investigation for antidumping and countervailing duty evasion does not in itself justify single transaction bond requirements to combat transshipment, ruled the Court of International Trade on June 26. CBP must detail its reasoning for enhanced bonding requirements by providing the importer and the court with specific allegations, instead of noting suspicion based on the mere existence of an ICE investigation, said CIT.
