Comments are due to the International Trade Commission by Dec. 13 concerning a potential Section 337 investigation on imported environmental monitors, according to a notice released Dec. 2. The notice follows a Nov. 29 complaint by Johnson Controls Technology and Johnson Controls, Inc., alleging that Price Industries imports environmental monitors that infringe on two Johnson Controls patents.

The complaint asked the ITC for a permanent limited exclusion and a cease and desist order against Price Industries.
The International Trade Commission began a Section 337 investigation on imported automated retractable vehicle steps, and will consider a general exclusion order on the products, the ITC said in a Dec. 1 news release.

Rates calculated in this review will be used to set assessment rates for importers of subject merchandise from these producers and exporters that was entered November 2020 through October 2021.
The Commerce Department on Dec. 2 released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on corrosion-resistant steel products from China (A-570-026). Commerce found that Metalco S.A., the only company subject to this administrative review, is part of the China-wide entity because it did not file a separate rate application, assigning the company the China-wide entity rate of 199.43%. Any subject merchandise from Metalco entered during the period July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021, will be assessed AD duties at the 199.43% China-wide rate.
