The Commerce Department reasonably used adverse facts available against antidumping duty respondent Corinth Pipeworks Pipe Industry for failing to remedy deficiencies in its cost reconciliation submission, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held on Sept. 8. Judges Jimmie Reyna, Richard Taranto and Leonard Stark also said Commerce wasn't required to provide Corinth with an opportunity to comment on the agency's analysis that led to the conclusion that the company's reported costs didn't reconcile with its financial accounting system.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals allowed to stand most of a California law that makes it illegal for internet-based services and applications to provide an addictive feed to users younger than 18, unless the operator doesn't know the user is a minor.
The Commerce Department issued notices in the Federal Register on its recently initiated antidumping duty investigations on high purity dissolving pulp from Brazil (A-351-866) and Norway (A-403-808), as well as its countervailing duty investigation on high purity dissolving pulp from Brazil (C-351-867). The CVD investigation covers entries for calendar year 2024. The AD investigations cover entries July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025.
The Commerce Department has released the final results of its countervailing duty administrative review on certain aluminum foil from Oman (C-523-816). These final results will be used to set final assessments of CVD on importers for subject merchandise entered during calendar year 2022.
The Commerce Department released its preliminary affirmative antidumping determination Sept. 8 that monomers and oligomers from Taiwan (A-583-879) are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. Commerce found “critical circumstances” for all Taiwanese companies, and will retroactively suspend liquidation and impose antidumping duty cash deposit requirements for all subject merchandise as of June 11.
China is imposing preliminary antidumping duties on imported pork from the EU more than a year after launching its investigation, the Ministry of Commerce announced Sept. 5, according to an unofficial translation (see 2406180009 and 2506160005). China assigned duties ranging from 15.6% to 32.7% to a list of specific companies, and all other firms will face a 62.4% duty. The new AD rates take effect Sept. 10. The investigation and resulting preliminary duties are viewed as retaliation against EU countervailing duties on Chinese electric vehicles (see 2406120008).
