The Commerce Department issued Federal Register notices on its recently initiated antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on freight rail couplers from China (A-570-145/C-570-146) and an antidumping duty investigation on freight rail couplers from Mexico (A-201-857). The agency will determine whether imports of sodium nitrite are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value or are illegally subsidized.
The Commerce Department properly hit antidumping duty respondent Shanghai Tainai Bearing with partial adverse facts available, saying Tainai should know how to collect factor of production information from its downstream suppliers, given that the agency was conducting the 33rd review of the AD order, the U.S. argued in an Oct. 20 reply brief at the Court of International Trade. The government said Commerce legally deducted Section 301 duties from Tainai's U.S. price and capped Section 301 duty payments (Shanghai Tainai Bearing Co. v. U.S., CIT Consol. #22-00038).
A federal judge on Friday was receptive to the FTC’s argument that Meta’s attempts to have Chair Lina Khan recused from a lawsuit against the company’s purchase of Within Unlimited should be settled at the agency level and not before the U.S. District Court for Northern California (see 2210190038).

The Commerce Department will recognize a name change for a South Korean company for the purposes of antidumping and countervailing duties on certain cold-rolled steel flat products (A-580-878/C-580-879) and certain corrosion-resistant steel products (CORE) (A-580-881/C-580-882) from South Korea, upholding its preliminary finding in the final results of a changed circumstances review. The agency found KG Steel Corporation (dba KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.) to be the successor-in-interest to KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. The agency found that KG Steel continues to operate as the same business entity other than the change in name. Commerce said KG Steel will inherit the AD and CVD cash deposit rates assigned to KG Dongbu, currently zero percent and 1.93%, respectively, for cold-rolled steel flat products and 0.59% and 10.51%, respectively, for the CORE products.
