The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in July it will consider revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from India (A-533-820/C-570-821), Indonesia (A-560-812/C-560-813) and Thailand (A-549-817/C-549-818); laminated woven sacks from China (A-570-916/C-570-917); sodium nitrite from China (A-570-925/C-570-926); and steel propane cylinders from China (A-570-086/C-570-087); as well as the antidumping duty orders on hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from China (A-570-865), Taiwan (A-583-835) and Ukraine (A-823-811); persulfates from China (A-570-847); sodium nitrite from Germany (A-428-851); steel propane cylinders from Thailand (A-549-839); and steel wire garment hangers from China (A-570-918). These orders will be revoked, or the investigation terminated, unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to the U.S. industry, Commerce said.
The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission began five-year sunset reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on quartz surface products from China (A-570-084/C-570-085) and raw flexible magnets from China (A-570-922/C-570-923), as well as the AD orders on non-malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China (A-570-875) and raw flexible magnets from Taiwan (A-583-842), Commerce said in a notice June 3.
CBP has released its May 29 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 58, No. 21), which includes the following ruling action:
The Court of International Trade on May 28 said the Commerce Department erred in revoking the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan and China after it didn't receive a timely notice of intent to participate in the orders' sunset reviews from a domestic producer. Judge M. Miller Baker told Commerce to conduct the full sunset reviews since U.S. manufacturer Archroma U.S. filed substantive responses to the agency's notice of initiation of the sunset reviews.
The Commerce Department has issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan (A-583-848). Commerce set an AD rate of 1.04% for Teh Fong Min International Co., Ltd. (TFM), the only company under review. That rate is unchanged from the preliminary results. Subject merchandise from TFM entered between May 1, 2022, and Nov. 26, 2022, will be liquidated at importer-specific rates, Commerce said. The 1.04% AD cash deposit rate for TFM is effective May 28.
