A coalition of U.S. manufacturers seeks the imposition of new antidumping and countervailing duties on imports of low-speed personal transportation vehicles from China, it said in petitions recently filed with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders on low-speed personal transportation vehicles, commonly known as golf carts, and the assessment of AD/CVD on importers.

A domestic producer recently filed petitions with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping and countervailing duties on brake drums from China and Turkey.

The Commerce Department intends to exempt solar cells from Hanwha Q Cells made from inputs from two additional Chinese suppliers from antidumping and countervailing duties on solar cells from China (A-570-979/C-570-980), it said in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency plans to add the two Hanwha suppliers to Appendix V of its final circumvention determination (see 2308180044), which lists the Hanwha suppliers eligible for certification that the imported solar cells aren’t circumventing AD/CVD. Commerce’s final determination in the changed circumstances review is due in March but may come as soon as August if all parties to the case agree on the outcome.

These orders will be revoked, or the investigation terminated, unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to the U.S. industry, Commerce said.
