A domestic producer recently filed a petition with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping and countervailing duties on monomers and oligomers imported from South Korea and Taiwan. Commerce now will decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD and CVD on importers. Arkema, Inc. requested the investigation.
The International Trade Commission published notices in the March 31 Federal Register on the following antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):

Commerce is conducting concurrent antidumping duty investigations on the same product from China, with a preliminary determination expected by June 10.
