The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on solid agricultural grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine (A-823-810), in an automatic five-year sunset review scheduled to begin in May.

The federal government shutdown from Jan. 20 to Jan. 22 had only a tiny impact on trade processing, a CBP spokesman said. During the shutdown (see 1801220015), "CBP continued to process cargo and collect revenue, and continued our national security and trade enforcement efforts with the minimal amount of disruption possible," he said. "There are specific trade activities that CBP is not authorized to conduct during a shutdown, and CBP rescheduled events as required due to the shutdown. CBP did schedule a daily trade call to keep industry stakeholders apprised of the impacts of the shutdown." The shutdown "had no effect on ruling revocations," the spokesman said. "For example, if any comments were received on Monday, January 22, 2018, CBP would consider them." There was some question whether a shutdown would affect ruling decisions (see 1801190026).
In the Jan. 10 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 52, No. 2), CBP published a notice that proposes to revoke rulings and similar treatment for girls' upper body garments.
