The Commerce Department is announcing the opportunity to request administrative reviews by Aug. 31 for producers and exporters subject to 46 antidumping duty orders and 16 countervailing duty orders with August anniversary dates.
The International Trade Commission began a formal Section 337 investigation on imported electronic nicotine delivery systems (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1368), also known as vaporizers, it said in a Federal Register notice. The announcement followed a June 30 joint complaint by Juul Labs and VMR Products, which alleged that Altria and NJoy had imported vaporizer cartridges and components that infringed on five patents owned by Juul (see 2307060008). Both complainants asked the ITC for a permanent limited exclusion order preventing entry of vaporizors, cartridges and other components, along with cease and desist orders.
The Commerce Department Aug. 3 published a notice announcing the beginning of administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with June anniversary dates. Producers and exporters subject to any of these administrative reviews on China or Vietnam must submit their separate rate certifications or applications by Sept. 4 to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.
The International Trade Commission published notices in the Aug. 4 Federal Register on the following AD/CVD injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):
The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices Aug. 4 on AD/CVD proceedings:
The Commerce Department has released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Oman (A-523-808), calculating an AD rate of zero percent for the sole mandatory respondent Oman Fasteners LLC, as well as an AD rate of zero percent for 12 other companies under review that were not individually examined. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from the 17 total companies under review entered between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022, will be assessed antidumping duties at those rates. Any changes to cash deposit rates for these 17 companies would take effect on the publication date of the final results in the Federal Register.
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of a countervailing duty administrative review of certain walk-behind lawn mowers and parts thereof (lawn mowers) from China (C-570-130). This review covers subject merchandise from the exporters under review entered during the period Oct. 30, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2021.
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on certain collated steel staples from China (A-570-112). In the final results of this review, Commerce will set assessment rates for subject merchandise from seven companies under review entered July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022.
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on citric acid and certain citrate salts from Thailand (A-549-833). These final results will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022.
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on acetone from South Korea (A-580-899). Commerce found the two companies under review, Kumho P&B Chemicals, Inc. and LG Chem, Ltd., did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning both a zero percent AD rate, unchanged from the preliminary results of the review. Subject merchandise from Kumho P&B Chemicals and LG Chem entered March 1, 2021, through Feb. 28, 2022, will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from Kumho P&B Chemicals and LG Chem will not be subject to AD cash deposit requirements until further notice. Cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Aug. 7, the date they are set to be published in the Federal Register.
