China Intermodal Containers: Commerce Postpones Preliminary AD Duty Determination

The Commerce Department is postponing until Nov. 19 the due date for its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on 53-foot domestic dry containers from China (A-570-014). Stoughton Trailers, the company that requested the investigation, asked for the extension, and Commerce says it has no reason to deny the request. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties. The preliminary determination was originally due Sept. 30.
