Commerce Allows More Time for Comments on Potential NME Status for Russia
August 26, 2021 |AD/CVD

The Commerce Department will allow more time for comments on whether Russia should be considered a nonmarket economy country for antidumping duty purposes, it said in a notice released Aug. 25. The agency is considering ending Russia's market economy status in AD duty investigations in the context of an AD duty investigation on urea ammonium nitrate solutions from Russia (A-821-831), though any determination as to Russia's status would apply generally to all AD duty proceedings involving the country. Commerce has treated Russia as a market economy since 2002. NME companies subject to AD duty proceedings must prove independence from government control, or else be assigned to the countrywide entity with AD rates that can reach into the hundreds percent. Comments, which can be submitted by the public and are not limited to participants in the urea ammonium nitrate investigation, are now due Sept. 7.

CBP Says Diamond Sawblades Importer Evaded AD Duties
August 23, 2021 |AD/CVD

Substantial evidence shows that Lyke Industrial Tool evaded antidumping duties on imported diamond sawbaldes from China, CBP said in a recent notice of final determination. The determination is a result of an Enforce and Protect Act allegation from the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition, which filed the allegation with CBP in 2018. CBP's review involved Thai manufacturer Like Tools. "Several facts influenced CBP’s determination as to evasion in this case," the agency said. "These facts include repeated observations by CBP officials that Like Tools covered 'Made in China' labels on covered merchandise and inputs with 'Made in Thailand' labels; discrepancies between Lyke’s [request for information] responses and CBP’s findings at verification;" and "the inability of Lyke and Like Tools to demonstrate Like Tools’ transfer of ownership," it said. A lawyer for Lyke, Lizbeth Levinson of Fox Rothschild, said by email that the company disagrees with the determination and plans "to appeal through the administrative review process."

OIRA Completes Review of AD/CVD Regulatory Changes
August 17, 2021 |AD/CVD

The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs recently finished its review of a Commerce Department final rule to overhaul antidumping and countervailing duty regulations, it said in a notice. One change proposed by Commerce last year would allow it to retroactively suspend liquidation and require AD/CVD cash deposits as a result of scope rulings (see 2008120037). In comments on the proposal, importers challenged changes to liquidation timelines in scope inquiries, as well as tighter deadlines that they said make it harder to defend from AD/CVD cases see 2009230042).
