Vietnam Hangers: AD & CV Orders to Issue After ITC Finds Injury, but Retroactive Cash Deposits Reversed
The International Trade Commission voted unanimously Jan. 16 that dumped and subsidized imports of steel wire garment hangers (A-552-812 / C-552-813) from Vietnam are injuring U.S. industry. As a result, the International Trade Administration will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on the merchandise. In December, the ITA found AD and CV rates for hangers from Vietnam of 257 to 220.68 percent, and 31.58 to 90.42 percent, respectively.

The ITC made a negative critical circumstances determination, however, so retroactive suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits will end and cash deposits already collected will be refunded. The refunds will apply for AD cash deposits on entries between May 4 and Aug. 2, 2012, and CV cash deposits on entries of Hamico and “all others” merchandise between March 6 and June 4, 2012.
