Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
(This review has been initiated to determine whether revocation of the order is warranted based on a letter from the Paint Applicators Trade Action Coalition, an ad hoc coalition of producers, and the Paint Applicator Division of the American Brush Manufacturers Association, a trade association (collectively, the Paint Applicators), expressing a lack of interest in AD duty relief from imports of the subject merchandise.)
ITA Preliminarily Finds No Domestic Interest in Continuing Order
Based on the expression of no interest and claims of accounting for substantially all of the domestic production of the domestic like product by the Paint Applicators, and absent any objection by any other domestic interested parties or any evidence to the contrary, the ITA has preliminarily determined that substantially all of the domestic producers of the domestic like product have no interest in the continued application of the subject AD duty order and therefore intends to revoke the order.
Liquidation to Resume, AD Cash Deposits to be Refunded if Finalized
If the ITA makes a final determination to revoke the order, suspension of liquidation will be considered removed upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register and the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate without regard to AD duties and to refund any estimated AD duties collected.
The current requirement for AD cash deposits on subject merchandise will continue unless, and until, the ITA publishes a final determination to revoke.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc.)
