The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register Nov. 22 on the following AD/CV duty 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 Commerce Department looks set to recognize a name change for a Chinese company for the purposes of antidumping duties on certain corrosion resistant inhibitors from China (A-570-122). The agency preliminarily found that Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd. (Chuzhou Kanghua) is the successor-in-interest to Nantong Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd. (Nantong Kanghua), in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency preliminarily found, based on the company's claim that there were no significant changes made to the production facility, management, customer/supplier relationship or any other aspect of operation, that Chuzhou Kanghua continues to operate as the same business entity other than the change in name. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, Chuzhou Kanghua will inherit the AD rate assigned to Nantong Kanghua.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on large diameter welded pipe from Canada (A-122-863).

Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Nov. 23, the date they are set to be published in the Federal Register.

The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register Nov. 21 on the following AD/CV duty 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 Commerce Department will consider whether Zhangzhou XMB Home Technology Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou XMB) is the successor-in-interest to Zhangzhou XYM Furniture Product Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou XYM) for the purposes of antidumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture from China (A-570-890), it said in a notice initiating a changed circumstances review, released Nov. 21. Golden Well International (HK), Ltd. and Zhangzhou XMB requested the review, telling Commerce that Zhangzhou XYM changed its name to Zhangzhou XMB and requesting that Commerce determine that Zhangzhou XMB is the successor-in-interest to Zhangzhou XYM. While a name change is a factor to consider, Commerce said it is not the only one. The agency said it determined that it is appropriate to consider, "and potentially seek additional information regarding, certain of the factors ... [it] examines in successor-in-interest CCRs." So, an expedited action will not occur, and no preliminary results were announced with the notice. If Commerce finds Zhangzhou XMB is the successor company to Zhangzhou XYM, it will inherit the AD duty rate currently applicable to Zhangzhou XYM, Commerce said.
The Information Technology and Innovation Foundation says the Section 301 tariffs on Chinese imports have been fruitless, and antidumping and countervailing duty laws also are inadequate to counter the wide variety of abuses from China -- industrial espionage, forced technology transfer, discrimination against foreign sales in China, as well as enormous subsidies. "It is time for the U.S. government, ideally working with allies, to craft and implement a new set of trade defense instruments," ITIF Founder Robert Atkinson wrote in a white paper released Nov. 21.
