The Commerce Department is beginning new antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on thermoformed molded fiber products from China and Vietnam, it said in a fact sheet Oct. 29. The underlying petition was filed in early October (see 2410100021). The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determinations by Nov. 22. These AD/CVD investigations will continue only if the ITC finds injury. International Trade Today will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notices in the Federal Register.

The Court of International Trade on Oct. 28 denied importer Retractable Technologies' motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against the collection of certain Section 301 tariffs, though the court granted the company's motion for a preliminary injunction enjoining liquidation of its entries during the course of litigation. Judge Claire Kelly issued the confidential decision, giving the parties until Nov. 1 to review any confidential information in the opinion (Retractable Technologies v. U.S., CIT # 24-00185).

An exporter that was hit with a China-wide antidumping rate of 144.5% after it filed a separate rate certification a week late -- mistakenly believing that a deadline extension granted to “numerous parties” also applied to it -- said in an Oct. 25 motion for judgment that the Commerce Department was too “draconian” in enforcing its deadlines (Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co. v. U.S., CIT # 24-00085).

The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register Oct. 28 on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):

The Commerce Department issued its final determinations in its countervailing duty investigations on frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (C-331-806), India (C-533-921) and Vietnam (C-552-838). Suspension of liquidation is currently not in effect for entries on or after July 30, 2024, and Commerce will require cash deposits of estimated CVD on future entries only if it issues a CV duty order.

The Commerce Department has published its final affirmative determination in the antidumping duty investigation on frozen warmwater shrimp from Indonesia (A-560-842). Changes to cash deposit requirements set in the final determination take effect Oct. 28.
