The Commerce Department looks set to recognize a Canadian company's name change for the purposes of countervailing duties on softwood lumber products from Canada (C-122-858). The agency preliminarily found that TRAPA Forest Products Ltd. is the successor-in-interest to Trans-Pacific Trading Ltd. in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review published Jan. 31. The agency preliminarily found that Trans-Pacific changed its name to TRAPA but otherwise continues to operate as the same business entity as before. If Commerce confirms its findings in the final results, TRAPA will inherit the CVD rate assigned to Trans-Pacific Trading, which was 6.74% (the review average rate) in the final results of a CVD administrative review for Jan. 1, 2021, and Dec. 31, 2021, published in August 2024 (see 2408160017). Commerce has recognized the name change and allowed TRAPA to inherit Trans-Pacific's rate for the purposes of the antidumping duties on subject merchandise (see 2409200061).
The Commerce Department published its preliminary affirmative antidumping determination Jan. 30 that low speed personal transportation vehicles from China (A-570-176), including golf carts, are being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value.
