2,4-D: Prelim CVD Rates Take Effect for China and India
The Commerce Department is setting new countervailing duty cash deposit requirements for imports of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, also known as 2,4-D, from China (C-570-161) and India (C-533-923), after finding countervailable subsidization of producers and exporters in the two countries in the preliminary determinations of its CV duty investigations. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements are set to take effect Sept. 13, the date that the preliminary determinations are scheduled to be published in the Federal Register.

Commerce also is considering the imposition of antidumping duties on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid from China and India. The preliminary determinations in those investigations are currently due Nov. 6.
Scope Amended to Correct HTS Numbers
In these preliminary determinations, Commerce is amending the scope of its AD/CVD investigations on 2,4-D to correct to tariff schedule numbers that were listed wrong at the time the investigations began. Rather than list subheadings 3808.93.0050 and 3808.93.1400, which don't exist in the tariff schedule, the scope now includes subheadings 3808.93.0500 and 3808.93.1500, respectively.
CV Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements
Commerce says it will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from a warehouse, for consumption on or after Sept. 13. Cash deposits of estimated CV duties will be required as follows:
China
| Company | CVD Rate |
|---|---|
| Jiangxi Tianyu Chemical Co., Ltd.: Thai Harvest Ltd.; CAC Nantong Chemical Co., Ltd.; and CAC Shanghai International Trading Co., Ltd. | 27.68% |
| Shandong Weifang Rainbow Chemical Co., Ltd.; Ningxia Rainbow Chemical Co., Ltd.; Shandong Rainbow Investment Co., Ltd.; and Shandong Runnong Investment Co., Ltd. | 3.1% |
| All Others | 27.34% |
