The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission began five-year sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan and Venezuela (A-533-823, A-834-807, A-307-820) and large diameter welded line pipe from Japan (A-588-857).

The Commerce Department will exempt yet another company from the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood flooring from China (A-570-970), announcing in an Aug. 29 notice that Double F Limited is no longer subject to AD duties. Double F is an affiliate of Fine Furniture, which was exempted from the AD duty order in July in response to a court decision (see 1807290005), and so should have also been declared exempt from AD duties, Commerce said. Assuming no appeal is filed nor an appealed decision is affirmed, the partial revocation for Double F is effective July 13.

The U.S. has filed an appeal of a recent World Trade Organization panel decision against countervailing duties it imposed, then later revoked, on supercalendered paper from Canada, the WTO said in a press release. The U.S. had slammed the initial panel report issued July 5, which found fault with the Commerce Department’s subsidy findings (see 1807060024 and 1807090025). Commerce announced the revocation of the CV duty order shortly afterward, with termination effective from the beginning of duty collection and no CV duties assessed in connection with the short-lived order (see 1807110020).

The International Trade Commission on Aug. 24 voted to terminate antidumping duties on stainless steel bar from Brazil, Japan and Spain, finding in a sunset review that revocation of the AD duty orders would not result in resumption of injury to domestic industry, the ITC said in a press release. As a result of the ITC's determination, the Commerce Department will revoke the AD duty orders on stainless steel bar from Brazil, Japan and Spain effective for entries on or after the date five years after the end of the previous sunset review of the AD duty order, i.e., around Aug. 9, 2017. The AD duty order on stainless steel bar from India will remain in place.

The Commerce Department published notice in the Aug. 20 Federal Register on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that next month it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan and Venezuela (A-533-823, A-834-807 and A-307-820), as well as welded large diameter line pipe from Japan (A-588-857), in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in September. These orders will be revoked unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry.

The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission began five-year sunset reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on pasta from Italy and Turkey (A-475-818/C-475-819, A-489-806/C-489-806).

The Commerce Department is ending countervailing duties on new pneumatic off-the-road tires from Sri Lanka (C-542-801), after a recent Court of International Trade decision caused rates to fall to zero for all Sri Lankan exporters (see 1703030031). Once the decision is final following expiration of the period for appeals, revocation of the CV duty order will apply to entries on or after July 21, 2018. For now, Commerce will lower cash deposit rates to zero. Certain entries from Camso Loadstar may remain subject to injunction against liquidation once CV duties are revoked.
