The following new requests for antidumping and countervailing duty scope rulings were filed with the Commerce Department during the week of Aug. 18-24:
The Commerce Department is postponing until Nov. 19 the due date for its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on 53-foot domestic dry containers from China (A-570-014). Stoughton Trailers, the company that requested the investigation, asked for the extension, and Commerce says it has no reason to deny the request. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties. The preliminary determination was originally due Sept. 30.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand (A-549-822). The agency set rates for about 150 companies in the review. These rates will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for entries between Feb. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2013. The two mandatory respondents, Thai Union and Pakfood, merged partway through the review period, so entries before and after the merger will be treated differently for assessment purposes. New AD duty cash deposit rates set in this review will take effect Aug. 28.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840). The agency set rates for over 200 companies in the review, which will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for entries between Feb. 1, 2012 and Jan. 31, 2013. New AD duty cash deposit rates set in this review will take effect Aug. 28.
No antidumping duties will be imposed on ferrosilicon from Venezuela, after the International Trade Commission on Aug. 26 voted that imports of the product are not causing injury to U.S. industry. The ITC vote, which was unanimous, comes on the heels of a decision by the Commerce Department to end a concurrent investigation on ferrosilicon from Russia (see 14073014). As a result of the ITC’s vote, the AD duty investigation on ferrosilicon from Venezuela will end without the issuance of an AD duty order, and all cash deposits collected in connection with the investigation will be refunded.
The Commerce Department will require cash deposits of countervailing duties on sugar from Mexico, after finding illegal subsidization of Mexican exporters in a preliminary determination announced Aug. 26 in a fact sheet. The agency calculated CV duty cash deposit rates of 2.99% to 17.01%. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will take effect upon publication of Commerce’s preliminary determination in the Federal Register. ITT will have more details when they are published.
