The International Trade Administration published notices in the Jan. 18 Federal Register on the following AD/CV proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping administrative review of stainless steel bar from Brazil (A-351-825) for Villares Metals S.A. The ITA calculated a preliminary zero AD rate for the company. If the ITA continues to find a zero AD rate for Villares in the final results, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of Villares' subject merchandise during the period of review without regard to AD duties. 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 International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping administrative review of certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from Korea (A-580-836) for seven manufacturer/exporters. The ITA preliminarily assigned three of the companies zero rates. The other four companies did not export to the U.S. during the period of review.1 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 these companies.
The International Trade Administration amended its final results of the antidumping administrative review of certain steel threaded rod from China (A-570-932) for RMB Fasteners Ltd., and IFI & Morgan Ltd. The RMB/IFI group’s AD rate went up to 21.15 percent (from 19.68 percent) as a result of the ITA’s correction of a calculation error. These amended final results are effective Jan. 22.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review of chlorinated isocyanurates from China (A-570-898) for four companies, finding AD rates of 29.91 to 38.25 percent. The new rate is effective Jan. 22, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
The International Trade Commission is publishing notices in the Jan. 17 Federal Register on the following AD/CV injury, Section 337 patent, and other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will appear in another ITT article):
The International Trade Commission is asking for comments by about Jan. 26 on public interest factors related to Radio System Corp.’s Jan. 14 patent complaint against bark control dog collars imported by Sunbeam. According to the complaint, Sunbeam’s “Advanced Bark Control Collar” and “Mini Bark Control Collar” infringe RSC’s patents. RSC is requesting a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order prohibiting entry and sale of the bark control collars, which RSC says Sunbeam imports from China.
The International Trade Administration preliminarily decided to rescind a new shipper review of certain preserved mushrooms from China (A-570-851), after finding respondent Shandong Yinfeng Rare Fungus Corp. didn’t meet the minimum requirements for such a review. If the ITA continues in the final results of this new shipper review to find Yinfeng isn’t eligible, it will end the bond option on entries of subject merchandise exported by Yinfeng and continue to treat the company as part of the China-wide entity. The ITA won’t end suspension of liquidation, however, until it completes a concurrent administrative review of preserved mushrooms from China, it said.
The International Trade Commission voted unanimously Jan. 16 that dumped and subsidized imports of steel wire garment hangers (A-552-812 / C-552-813) from Vietnam are injuring U.S. industry. As a result, the International Trade Administration will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on the merchandise. In December, the ITA found AD and CV rates for hangers from Vietnam of 257 to 220.68 percent, and 31.58 to 90.42 percent, respectively.
