The Commerce Department published notices in the May 27 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):
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on steel threaded rod from China (A-570-932). The agency calculated a preliminary AD rate for one company, the RMB/IFI Group.
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on frontseating service valves from China (A-570-933). Commerce recently revoked this AD duty order (see 14051316), so the agency will in the final results only set final assessments of AD duties on service valves for entries in 2012-13, and will not set cash deposit rates for future entries.

The Commerce Department is postponing until July 24 the preliminary determination in its antidumping duty investigations on crystalline silicon photovoltaic products from China (A-570-010) and Taiwan (A-583-853). The agency’s preliminary findings were originally due June 11, but Commerce says the investigation is “extraordinarily complicated.” Cash deposits of estimated AD duties may be required beginning on the date of Commerce’s preliminary determination, and in certain circumstances cash deposit requirements may be made retroactive 90 days before the agency’s preliminary finding.
A countervailing duty cash deposit requirement will take effect May 27 for imports of calcium hypochlorite from China (C-570-009), as the Commerce Department found illegal subsidization of Chinese producers in its preliminary determination. The agency assigned a CV duty cash deposit rate of 71.72 percent for all exporters of the pool cleaning chemical.
The Commerce Department will require antidumping duty cash deposits on imports of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane from China, it said in an May 22 fact sheet. The agency found AD duty rates of 133.47% to 327.33% for Chinese companies in its preliminary determination. The final determination in this investigation is currently due in October. ITT will have more details on the preliminary rates when Commerce publishes its preliminary determination in the Federal Register.
