The International Trade Administration initiated a new shipper review for the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish tail meat from China (A-570-848) at the request of Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd. The ITA will determine if this company is eligible for an estimated AD cash deposit rate other than the China-wide entity rate it currently receives.
Chinese company GGB Bearing Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. was assigned an antidumping cash deposit rate of 12.64 percent in the final results of a new shipper review of tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished from China (A-570-601). This rate, which is effective Oct. 30, is expected to be implemented by CBP soon.
The International Trade Administration corrected the final determination in a Section 129 proceeding on the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from China (A-570-910), because the Aug. 30 notice omitted the AD cash deposit rate for one manufacturer/exporter combination. This rate, which is effective Aug. 21, will be implemented by CBP soon.
