The agency found that the small and large garlic chunks are merchandise “altered in form or appearance in such minor respects that they should be included within the scope.” The preliminary finding applies country-wide to all imports of the products from China.
Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements on imports of Chinese small and large garlic chunks take retroactive effect for entries on or after June 8, 2023, the date that Commerce began this anti-circumvention inquiry.
Commerce had initiated the inquiry after finding garlic chinks are not covered by the scope of the AD order on fresh garlic because the order only covers whole garlic cloves (see 2306060013).
