The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register June 8 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 is amending antidumping duty and countervailing duty duty cash deposit rates for some exporters subject to AD/CVD on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Turkey (A-489-842/C-489-843), it said in a pair of notices implementing recent Court of International Trade decisions that invalidated rates the agency set in the final determinations of its original antidumping and countervailing duty investigations (see 2012100046 and 2102020019). Any changes are applicable to entries on or after June 5, 2022, as follows:
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Mexico (A-201-844). These final results will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered Nov. 1, 2019, through Oct. 31, 2020.
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on magnesia carbon bricks from China (A-570-954). The agency found that 30 companies subject to this administrative review are part of the China-wide entity, with a rate of 236%, because none filed a separate rate application or a separate rate certification. Also, none of the 30 companies filed no-shipment certifications (see the notice for the list of the companies). Any changes to cash deposit requirements would take effect upon publication of the final results of this review. Commerce will also use the results of this review ot set assessment rates for subject merchandise from these 30 companies entered Sept. 1, 2021, through Aug. 31, 2022.
The Commerce Department is extending until Aug. 29 the deadline for its preliminary determination in the countervailing duty investigation on white grape juice concentrate from Argentina (C-357-826), it said in a notice. The preliminary determination had been due by June 24 (see 2204260025). The agency decided to postpone after the petitioner that requested the investigation, Delano Growers Grape Products, asked for an extension. Cash deposits of estimated CV duties can be collected only after the preliminary determination, although cash deposits can be made retroactive 90 days from the preliminary determination if Commerce finds “critical circumstances.” (For information on the underlying petition, see 2204050029).
The Commerce Department began administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with April 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 July 11 to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.

The International Trade Commission has begun a formal Section 337 investigation on imported graphics processing chips (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1318), it said in a notice set to be published in the June 7 Federal Register. The initiation of investigation follows a May 5 complaint (see 2205110044) by Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and ATI Technologies alleging violations of five patents on multi-threaded graphics processing systems, unified shader systems, texture decompression, graphics thread synchronizers, and asyncronous processing for smart TVs by Realtek and TCL Industries Holdings Co. Ltd., along with 13 subsidiaries in China, Hong Kong, Mexico and Vietnam.
