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.
The agency also found that boltless steel shelving from India (A-533-914) is not being undersold in the U.S., in a negative antidumping duty determination, and will not impose AD duty cash deposit requirements for imports from India at this time.
Commerce calculated a zero percent AD rate for one exporter, Eonmetall Industries, in its preliminary determination for Malaysia. Eonmetall will not be subject to suspension of liquidation or cash deposit requirements until further notice. If Commerce continues to set a zero rate for Eonmetall (or any other exporters) in its final determination, any merchandise both produced and exported by Eonmetall will be exempt from any AD duty order issued in connection with this investigation.
