Lumber Liquidators agreed to pay $10 million to settle criminal customs and Lacey Act charges related to flooring it imported from China that was made from illegally harvested wood, said the company in an Oct. 7 press release (here). The settlement marks the culmination of a long-running federal investigation of Lumber Liquidators for Lacey Act violations that included a raid on company headquarters in 2013 (see 13092716), though it does not resolve claims that the company’s wood flooring has elevated formaldehyde content (see 13120432 and 1503260020), said the release.
The Commerce Department is extending until Dec. 15 the deadline for its preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty investigations on cold-rolled steel flat products from Brazil (C-351-844), India (C-533-866), China (C-570-030), South Korea (C-580-882), and Russia (C-821-823) (here). The agency decided to postpone after receiving a request from the group of U.S. steel manufacturers that requested the investigation. The preliminary determination was originally due Oct. 21. Cash deposits of estimated CV duties can only be collected after the preliminary determination, although they can be made retroactive 90 days from the preliminary determination if Commerce finds companies are increasing exports before cash deposit requirements are imposed.
