The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Oct. 3, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an CVD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Commerce also recently set cash deposit requirements in its concurrent antidumping duty investigation on glass wine bottles from China, with AD rates ranging from 11.14% to 207.52%, as well as in its AD investigations on glass wine bottles from Chile and Mexico (see 2408080023).
Critical Circumstances for All Chinese Companies, Cash Deposits Retroactive 90 Days
Commerce continued to find that all Chinese companies under investigation increased their exports to the U.S. in the run-up to the preliminary determination, in an attempt to get in as much product as possible before the imposition of CVD. This "critical circumstances" finding by the agency means Commerce will continue to retroactively suspend liquidation for CVD purposes back to 90 days before the preliminary determination, i.e., on or about March 5, 2024.
