The Commerce Department recently issued antidumping and countervailing duty orders on isposable aluminum containers, pans, trays, and lids from China (A-570-170/C-570-171). The orders set permanent antidumping and countervailing duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD/CVD on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The International Trade Commission is seeking public input on remedies for its Section 337 investigation on imported dryer wall exhaust vent assemblies (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1437), it said in a notice to be published May 8. The ITC initiated the investigation in February based on allegations that imports by Chinese company Xiamen Dirongte Trading Co., Ltd. infringe patents held by InOvate Acquisition Company (see 2502050056). The administrative law judge issued an order asking Xiamen why it should not be found in default after it failed to respond to the complaint or institution of the investigation. After failing to respond to the order, the ALJ issued a final initial determination finding Xiamen in default. The ITC determined not to review the ALJ's determination and is requesting written submissions addressing remedy by “close of business” on May 19.

The ITC partially terminated the investigation with respect to several of the claims at Lenovo's request, and the administrative law judge issued a final determination of no Section 337 violation. The ITC determined to review in full the ALJ's determination and is requesting written submissions addressing remedy by “close of business” on May 15.

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in June it will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on calcium hypochlorite from China (A-570-008/C-570-009), collated steel staples from China (A-570-112/C-570-113) and lightweight thermal paper from China (A-570-920/C-570-921), as well as the antidumping duty order on electrolytic manganese dioxide from China (A-570-979).
