The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices July 29 on AD/CVD proceedings:
The Commerce Department cannot investigate "transnational" subsidies, countervailing duty respondent Kukdo Chemical argued in a July 25 complaint at the Court of International Trade. Challenging the countervailing duty investigation on epoxy resins from South Korea, Kukdo said it's challenging "any and all substantive aspects of Commerce's" finding that the company received a countervailable subsidy via the provision of Epichlorohydrin (ECH) for less than adequate remuneration from China (Kukdo Chemical v. United States, CIT # 25-00146).
The Court of International Trade on July 28 denied importer Detroit Axle's motion for a preliminary injunction against President Donald Trump's decision to end the de minimis threshold on goods from China, which was made under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. Judges Gary Katzmann, Timothy Reif and Jane Restani said they already have granted all the relief the importer is seeking, though the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed that relief.
The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register July 28 on the following antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CVD rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on large diameter welded pipe from Turkey (A-489-833), calculating a zero percent AD rate for HDM Celik Boru Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S., the one mandatory respondent, and applying that rate to another company not selected for individual review, Emek Boru Makine Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from HDM Celik and Emek Boru entered between May 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024, won't be assessed AD, and future entries from HDM Celik and Emek Boru wouldn't be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice.
The Commerce Department has published the final results of the countervailing duty administrative review on forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany (C-428-848). These final results will be used to set final assessments of CVD on importers of subject merchandise entered Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023.
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on softwood lumber products from Canada (A-122-857). These final results will be used to set final assessments of AD on importers for subject merchandise entered Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023.

The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices July 28 on AD/CVD proceedings:
The Court of International Trade on July 28 denied importer Detroit Axle's motion for a preliminary injunction against President Donald Trump's decision to eliminate the de minimis threshold for Chinese goods. Judges Gary Katzmann, Timothy Reif and Jane Restani said Detroit Axle can't succeed in "obtaining the relief it seeks," since the trade court already granted the relief the importer seeks in the lead case on Trump's tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed that relief pending appeal. The court then stayed the remainder of Detroit Axle's case pending resolution of the lead IEEPA tariff case.
