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.
In this final determination, Commerce is imposing new retroactive suspension of liquidation for entries from Shandong Changyu and the "non-selected separate rate companies" (i.e., those receiving a 30.99% AD rate) on or after May 11, 2024, as a result of its revised finding of critical circumstances. Retroactive suspension of liquidation for the China-wide entity also remains in effect.
The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Feb. 6, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Commerce had been conducting a concurrent countervailing duty investigation on glass wine bottles from China, but that investigation ended after the International Trade Commission found no injury to U.S. industry. Commerce also ended an AD investigation on glass wine bottles from Chile after the petitioner that requested the investigation withdrew its petition (see 2412310039).
Critical Circumstances for Most Chinese Companies, Cash Deposits Retroactive 90 Days
In this final determination, Commerce is expanding its critical circumstances determination so that, now, all Chinese companies except Qinhuangdao Ruiquan Glassware are subject to retroactive suspension of liquidation as of May 11, 2024 (i.e., 90 days prior to Commerce's preliminary determination). That means new retroactive suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will now apply to entries from Shandong Changyu and the eight non-selected separate rate producer-exporter combinations on or after that date. The China-wide entity was already subject to retroactive duties, and remains so.
For Qinhuangdao Ruiquan Glassware, and all Mexican companies, suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements remain in effect for entries on or after Aug. 9.
