Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Japan and UK Ball Bearings: Commerce Reinstates AD Orders, Resumes Admin Reviews
December 12, 2013 by Brian Feito|AD/CV - Patent

The Commerce Department is reinstating the antidumping duty orders on ball bearings from Japan and the United Kingdom, according to a Federal Register notice dated Dec. 9 that has yet to be submitted for publication. The reinstatement comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in May reversed a series of remands that had resulted in revocation of the order in 2011 (see 13051716). The reinstatement was effective Nov. 29, 2013. AD cash deposit requirements will be set at the rates in effect at the time of revocation in July 2011.

Thailand Rail Tie Wire: No AD Cash Deposits Required as Commerce Preliminarily Finds No Dumping
December 11, 2013 by Brian Feito|AD/CV - Patent

The Commerce Department will not suspend liquidation and impose antidumping duty cash deposit requirements on imports of prestressed concrete steel rail tie wire from Thailand (A-549-829), after finding no dumping in its preliminary AD duty determination. The agency calculated a de minimis AD duty rate for The Siam Industrial Wire Co., the only respondent. Commerce will revisit the issue when it issues its final determination, and may at that point suspend liquidation and impose AD duty cash deposit requirements if it finds dumping. The final determination is currently due 135 days from the date of this preliminary determination.

December 11, 2013 by Brian Feito|AD/CV - Patent

The Commerce Department made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that prestressed concrete steel rail tie wire from Mexico (A-201-843) is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result, Commerce is directing CBP to suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties on subject merchandise. Final assessment of AD duties will only occur if Commerce finalizes its affirmative determination, the International Trade Commission finds injury to domestic injury, and Commerce issues an AD duty order. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements are effective Dec. 12.
