The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on large residential washers from Mexico (A-201-842).

NV and Electrolux Home Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. In these final results, Commerce will set importer-specific rates for subject merchandise from Electrlux and its affiliates entered during the period Feb. 1, 2021, through Jan. 31, 2022. The new 1.89% AD cash deposit rate for Electrolux and its affiliates takes effect May 18, the date these final results are to be published in the Federal Register.
The International Trade Commission began a formal Section 337 investigation on imported light detection and ranging (lidar) systems (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1363), it said in a Federal Register notice. The investigation follows an April 11 complaint by Ouster, a California-based producer of lidar hardware and software (see 2304140007), alleging that Chinese company Hesai Technology and its U.S.-based affiliate have taken its "revolutionary patented technologies" and incorporated them into competing products that infringe on five of its patents. Ouster seeks a permanent limited exclusion order barring the respondents’ infringing lidar systems from entry, as well as a cease and desist order.
