The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on glycine from Japan (A-588-878). The agency preliminarily found the only company under review -- Yuki Gosei Kogyo Co., Ltd. and its affiliate Nagase & Co., Ltd. -- had an AD rate of 0.99%. If Commerce's finding for Yuki Gosei/Nagase is continued in the final results, its AD cash deposit rate will be 0.99%, effective on the date Commerce's final results are published in the Federal Register. The agency would assess AD at importer-specific rates for entries of subject merchandise from Yuki Gosei/Nagase entered June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023, it said.
Mississippi will appeal a preliminary injunction of an age-verification law to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, state Attorney General Lynn Fitch (R) said in a Wednesday notice at the U.S. District Court for Southern Mississippi. In addition, the state sought a stay pending appeal. The court put enforcement of the law on hold Monday (see 2407010062). Under the law, parental consent is needed for minors younger than 18 who access social media. The court said NetChoice showed a high likelihood of success in its complaint that raised constitutional concerns with the law. "On appeal, the Attorney General will show that this Court’s injunction cannot be squared with the Act’s targeted scope, with its focus on (and regulation of) non-expressive conduct of covered online platforms, or with precedent on facial challenges," the state said in an accompanying memo. "The Attorney General will also show that the harm to the State from enjoining the Act’s enforcement substantially outweighs any harm to NetChoice and its members from complying with the Act."

The Commerce Department is recognizing the name change and corporate reorganization of an Indian company for the purposes of an antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840), it said in a notice of the final results of a changed circumstances review. The agency confirmed its preliminary finding that Varma Marine Private Limited (Varma) is the successor-in-interest to Varma Marine, saying that Varma continues to operate as the same business entity following a takeover agreement to transfer all Varma Marine assets to Varma, such that Varma operates as essentially the same business entity as Varma Marine with respect to the production and sale of subject merchandise. Commerce said that effective July 3, Varma now inherits the AD rate assigned to Varma Marine, which is currently 3.88%. (For a summary of the preliminary results of this changed circumstances review, see 2405100057.)
The Commerce Department is extending until Sept. 23 the deadline for its preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty investigations on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from Cambodia (C-555-004), Malaysia (C-557/831), Thailand (C-549-852) and Vietnam (C-552-842), it said in a notice July 3. The preliminary determination had been due by July 18 (see 2405170026). The agency decided to postpone after the petitioner that requested the investigation, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, asked for an extension. Cash deposits of estimated CV duties can be collected only after the preliminary determination, although cash deposits can be made retroactive 90 days from the preliminary determination if Commerce finds “critical circumstances.”
