While there has been some FCC progress toward an International Trade Data System, the complexity of bringing together a disparate group of governmental bodies with differing statutory requirements presents roadblocks, said government and industry officials in recent interviews. Led by Customs and Border Protection, the work on ITDS continues to have momentum from President Barack Obama's executive order in February that created a 2016 deadline for finishing ITDS (see 1402200028), they said. The FCC plans to review its international trade data collection processes as part of its work on ITDS, said an agency official. ITDS's goal is to simplify the filing of cargo import information required by numerous federal agencies.

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frontseating service valves from China (A-570-933) (here). Commerce determined Zhejiang Sanhua Co., Ltd. did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning the company a zero percent AD duty rate. As a result, subject merchandise from Sanhua entered between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties. Commerce revoked AD duties on frontseating service valves from China in May during a sunset review, so AD duty cash deposits are no longer being collected (see 14051316).
