The agency made new findings of critical circumstances for all Indian companies in the AD/CVD investigations on overhead door springs from India, as well as a new finding of critical circumstances for the China-wide entity, including Xulong Spring and Tianjin Wangxia, in its AD investigation on overhead door springs from China.

As a result, Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and require CVD cash deposits at the rate set in its preliminary determination (see 2504020049) for any unliquidated entries from Indian companies on or after Jan. 3, 2025 (i.e., 90 days prior to Commerce’s April 3 preliminary CVD determination).

Likewise, Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and require AD cash deposits at the rate set in its preliminary determination (see 2506030037) for any unliquidated entries from all Indian companies, as well as the China-wide entity, on or after March 4, 2025 (i.e., 90 days prior to Commerce’s June 2 preliminary AD determinations).

Liquidation is already suspended for CVD purposes since Jan. 3 for some Chinese companies -- Foshan Nanhai Xulong Spring Factory; Tianjin Wangxia Spring Co., Ltd.; Beled Co., Ltd./Beled (Shenxhen) Commerce Co., Ltd.; Jiaxing Taike Springs Co., Ltd; Kowloon Metal Spring Factory; Ningbo I Promise Import Export; and Xiamen Globe Truth GT Industries -- as a result of a Commerce finding of critical circumstances issued in July (see 2507160045).
