The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices Nov. 21 on AD/CVD proceedings:
The Commerce Department issued notices in the Federal Register on its recently initiated antidumping duty investigations on frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (A-331-805) and Indonesia (A-560-842), and its countervailing duty investigations on frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (C-331-806), India (C-533-921), Indonesia (C-560-843) and Vietnam (A-552-838). The CVD investigations cover entries for the calendar year 2022. The AD investigations cover entries Oct. 1, 2022, through Sept. 30, 2023.
The Commerce Department issued antidumping duty orders on paper file folders from China (A-570-147), India (A-533-910) and Vietnam (A-552-834), and a countervailing duty order on paper file folders from India (C-533-911). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties that will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce, which may only take place under certain conditions, such as a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CV duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.
The scope of the antidumping duty order on carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from China "unambiguously" applies to pipe fittings "in finished and unfinished form," AD petitioners Tube Forgings of America and Mills Iron Works argued in a Nov. 16 complaint at the Court of International Trade. Commerce's determination "eviscerates" the order's remedial effect by interpreting the term "unfinished form" to mean "create subcategories of pipe fittings in unfinished form," then saying these subcategories excluded certain pipe fittings in unfinished form, the brief said (Tube Forgings of America v. U.S., CIT # 23-00236).
A listing of recent Commerce Department antidumping and countervailing duty messages posted on CBP's website Nov. 17, along with the case number(s) and CBP message number, is provided below. The messages are available by searching for the listed CBP message number at CBP's ADCVD Search page.
The International Trade Commission published notices in the Nov. 17 Federal Register on the following AD/CVD injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):
A newly launched antidumping duty investigation on aluminum extrusions from the Dominican Republic will end, but investigations will continue for 14 other countries, the International Trade Commission said in its preliminary injury determination announced Nov. 17. The ITC found reasonable indication that dumped and subsidized aluminum extrusions from China, Colombia, Ecuador, India, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, Mexico, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam are injuring U.S. industry, but found imports of aluminum extrusions from the Dominican Republic are too small in number to continue that case. The Commerce Department now will consider whether to impose antidumping and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements on the 14 countries remaining under investigation, in preliminary determinations due in December for CVD and in March for AD.
