This order sets permanent antidumping duties on boltless steel shelving from Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Duties will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce, which may take place only 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 duties on importers and make changes to AD cash deposit rates.
Merchandise both produced and exported by Siam Metal Tech is exempt from the AD duty order on Thailand, as a result of the zero percent AD rate it received in Commerce's final determination.
Gap Period of No AD Suspension of Liq or AD Duties for May 27 - June 5
For these investigations, the six-month provisional measures period for which the AD suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is in place began on Nov. 29, 2023, the date of the preliminary determination, and ended on May 26, 2024.
As the ITC's final affirmative injury determination was published June 6, Commerce is instructing CBP to terminate AD suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise entered on or after May 27 and through June 5 (the gap period).
(For subject merchandise entered Nov. 29, 2023, through May 26, 2024, AD suspension of liquidation and AD duty liability remains in effect.)
AD Suspension of Liq, Cash Deposit Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after June 6, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published. AD cash deposit requirements also resume as of that date. Commerce will instruct CBP to require, at the same time that importers deposit estimated duties, a cash deposit equal to the AD rates listed below (as amended from rates set in the final determination for Taiwan):
