2,4-D: Details of AD/CVD Orders for China and India
The Commerce Department issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) from China (A-570-160/C-570-161) and India (A-533-922/C-570-923). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties that 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/CV duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The orders detail a “gap period” of no CVD liability for subject merchandise that was entered Jan. 11 through May 21, 2025, and of no AD liability for subject merchandise entered May 13-21, 2025. Commerce may only suspend liquidation for a four-month period after its preliminary CVD determination, issued Sept. 13, 2024, and for six months after its preliminary AD determination, issued Nov. 14, 2024. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD or CVD, any entries during these respective gap periods. Subject merchandise entered during the CVD gap period but outside the AD gap period (i.e., Jan. 11 through May 12, 2025) will be assessed only AD duties.
AD/CVD Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after May 22, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.
