Large Residential Washers: Request for Front-Loading Washer AD/CV Duty Exemption Denied

The Commerce Department finalized its determination not to create a new exemption for certain front-loading washing machines from antidumping and countervailing duties on large residential washers from South Korea and Mexico (A-580-868/C-580-869, A-201-842). As in the preliminary results of the changed circumstances review, Commerce found less than 85 percent of the domestic washer industry supported the partial revocation. Haier, dba GE Appliances, had opposed the initial request from Whirlpool (see 1811130018).
