The Commerce Department’s April 30 decision to impose antidumping duties on imports of hardwood and decorative plywood from China threatens to disrupt supply chains for industries that consume the product, said the International Wood Products Association (here). “While the [IWPA] counts among its members American importers -- many of whom trade in this product -- the effects of these duties will not be confined to the import community,” it said.
The Commerce Department made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that hardwood and decorative plywood from China (A-570-986) is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The agency found preliminary AD rates of de minimis to 63.96 percent. Cash deposit requirements are effective May 3 for all companies that were assigned positive dumping margins.

The International Trade Commission voted to begin an investigation into whether imports of linear actuators are infringing on Okin’s patents in violation of Section 337. Okin America and Dewert Okin requested the investigation on April 3 (see 13040601). The linear actuators at issue use electric motors to extend the footrest and adjust the chair back on seating furniture. According to Okin, Chinese company Changzhou Kaidi and its U.S. affiliate Kaidi LLC are importing linear actuators that infringe its patents. Okin is requesting a general exclusion order blocking all imports of linear actuators that infringe its patents, as well as cease and desist orders against the two respondents.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-diphosphonic acid from India (A-533-847), calculating a preliminary zero AD rate for sole respondent Aquapharm Chemicals Pvt., Ltd. If finalized, the rate would be Aquapharm's third consecutive zero AD rate. As such, Commerce said it intends to revoke the AD duty order with respect to HEDP produced and exported by Aquapharm if it continues to find a zero AD rate in the final results. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The Commerce Department announced it has preliminary found dumping of imports of hardwood and decorative plywood from China (A-570-986), and will require antidumping duty cash deposits on entries of the merchandise. Entries of hardwood and decorative plywood from China are already subject to countervailing duty cash deposits (see 13031312). Imports produced and exported by the mandatory respondents, Linyi San Fortune Wood and Jianyang Group, will not be subject to the AD cash deposit requirement because the Commerce Department preliminarily found de minimis AD rates. Other companies will be subject to either a 22.14 or 63.96 percent preliminary AD rate.
