China Boltless Steel Shelving: Details of AD/CV Duty Orders, Amended Rates
The Commerce Department issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on boltless steel shelving prepackaged for sale from China (A-570-018/C-570-019). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties on boltless steel shelving from China. Duties will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce, which may only take place under certain conditions, such as a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CV duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.
