A countervailing duty cash deposit requirement will take effect Dec. 1 for imports of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China (C-570-017), as the Commerce Department found illegal subsidization of Chinese producers in its preliminary determination (here). Commerce is making the suspension of liquidation and CV duty cash deposits retroactive for subject merchandise from all Chinese companies except GITI Tire and Cooper entered on or after Sept. 2.
The Commerce Department published notices in the Nov. 26 Federal Register 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):
Antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey will continue, after the International Trade Commission on Nov. 26 voted that there is a "reasonable indication" that U.S. industry is being injured by dumped and illegally subsidized imports (here). The next step is the Commerce Department’s preliminary determination, at which point AD and CV duty cash deposits may be required on imports of welded line pipe from South Korea and Turkey. Commerce’s preliminary findings are due Jan. 9 in the CV duty investigation, and March 25 in the AD duty investigation.
The Commerce Department issued antidumping duty orders on monosodium glutamate from China and Indonesia (A-201-844) (here). The order details a "gap period" of Nov. 4-16 of no AD duty liability, as well as the refund of any cash deposit collected for entries from China before May 8. Commerce also amended rates for MSG from China to correct a calculation error.
The Commerce Department made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that 53-foot domestic dry containers from China (A-570-014) are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value (here). As a result, Commerce will impose AD duty cash deposit requirements on shipments of subject merchandise entered on or after Nov. 26.
The Commerce Department will require cash deposits of countervailing duties on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China, after finding illegal subsidization of Chinese exporters in its preliminary determination announced Nov. 24 (here). The agency calculated CV duty cash deposit rates of 12.5%-81.29%. Commerce found "critical circumstances" in that all Chinese exporters except GITI and Coopper increased exports of subject merchandise before the preliminary determination in an attempt to get as much product in as possible before duties were imposed, so Commerce will make suspension of liquidation and CV duty cash deposit requirements retroactive 90 days for all exporters except GITI and Cooper. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements for GITI and Cooper will take effect upon publication of Commerce’s preliminary determination in the Federal Register. ITT will have more details when it is published.
