CBP released its May 2 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 18), which includes the following ruling actions:

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that next month it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on sodium hexametaphosphate from China (A-570-908), xanthan gum from China (A-570-985), and steel concrete reinforcing bar from China, Belarus, Indonesia, Latvia, Moldova, Poland and Ukraine (A-570-860, A-822-804, A-560-811, A-449-804, A-841-804, A-455-803, A-823-809), in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in June. 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 a five-year sunset review of the antidumping duty order on ammonium nitrate from Ukraine (A-823-810).

In the April 18 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 16), CBP published notices that propose to modify or revoke rulings and similar treatment for antibiotic products and combs.

Two Indian companies no longer qualify for exemptions and will again be subject to antidumping duties on stainless steel bar from India (A-533-810), the Commerce Department said in the final results of a changed circumstances review. Commerce found that Viraj Profiles Ltd. and the Venus Group have resumed dumping after being partially revoked from the AD duty order in 2004 and 2013, respectively.

CBP released its April 18 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 16), which includes the following ruling actions:

The Commerce Department intends to amend the scope of its antidumping duty orders on polyester staple fiber from South Korea and Taiwan (A-580-839/A-583-833), it said in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The change, requested by domestic manufacturers, would avoid overlap between the existing duties of PSF and ongoing antidumping duty investigations on low-melt polyester staple fiber, Commerce said. Commerce recently ordered suspension of liquidation and new cash deposit requirements in its preliminary AD duty determinations on low-melt polyester staple fiber (see 1802010027).

Instructions not to assess antidumping duties on “unliquidated” entries also apply to entries that have been liquidated but not finalized because they are still protestable, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in a March 30 decision. Overturning a Court of International Trade ruling from 2016 (see 1610250042), the Federal Circuit held that the Commerce Department’s revocation of antidumping duties on German steel may apply to several of ThyssenKrupp’s entries that had already been liquidated by the time the revocation was announced.
