The Commerce Department released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from South Korea (A-580-887), calculating a 2.8% AD rate for POSCO (and its affiliated companies). If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from POSCO entered between May 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021, will be assessed antidumping duties at that rate.
The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission began five-year sunset reviews of the antidumping duty duty orders on cement and cement clinker from Japan (A-588-815), and steel concrete reinforcing bar from Japan (A-588-876), Taiwan (A-583-859) and Turkey (A-489-829), as well as the countervailing duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Turkey (C-489-830), Commerce said in a notice released May 31.
The International Trade Commission published notices in the May 27 Federal Register on the following AD/CV injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):
The International Trade Commission started an investigation on imported set-top boxes and streaming devices for receiving television services (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1315), it said. Broadband iTV asked the ITC to issue a limited exclusion order and cease and desist orders against named respondents Comcast, NBCUniversal Media, Charter Communications, Spectrum Management Holding Company, Altice USA, CSC Holdings and Cablevision Systems for improperly importing and selling devices that infringe on BBiTV's patents.
Comments are due June 7 in Docket No. 3623 at the International Trade Commission on the public interest ramifications of possible limited exclusion orders and cease and desist orders that Honeywell and its subsidiary seek in a May 23 Section 337 complaint, according to a May 27 Federal Register notice. The complaint alleges that Zebra Technologies and Symbol Technologies have infringed on five patents related to barcode mounting and scanning mechanisms, issued to Hand Held Products between 2014 and 2022. The patents cover image and symbol reading of barcode scanners as well as technology for managing multiple readers through interface nodes.
The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register May 27 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 issued amended final results in the antidumping duty administrative review on cold-rolled steel flat products from South Korea (A-580-881) that were used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered March 7, 2016, through Aug. 31, 2017 (see 1905230026). The amendment came as the result of a Court of International Trade decision on a calculation method Commerce used to determine the AD rate assigned to Hyundai Steel, which was 36.59% in the original final results. The new AD rate for Hyundai Steel is 1.82% for the original review period. However, the current cash deposit rate in effect is unaffected. Commerce also rescinded the review of an original non-examined company that was an affiliate of Hyundai, because it determined "that Company A was neither a producer nor an exporter of subject merchandise," and said it is therefore not subject to the all-others rate assigned in the original final results.
