The Commerce Department is set to issue antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on tungsten shot from China -- but duties collected during the agency’s investigations mostly will be refunded -- after the International Trade Commission on Aug. 6 voted that imports of the product from China are materially retarding the developing of an industry in the U.S. The ITC’s finding of “material retardation” means that, under the Tariff Act of 1930, Commerce can only impose duties after the publication date of the ITC’s final determination notice. Commerce had suspended liquidation for tungsten shot from China back to Feb. 19 for AD and Dec. 20 for CVD, so any cash deposits collected on or after that date and before the ITC’s publication date will be refunded. Commerce set the AD rate at 201.32% and CVD rates ranging from 55.64% to 292.84% for Chinese exporters in final determinations issued in July (see 2507100029 and 2507100030).
