China Mobile Access Equipment: Details of AD Duty Order

The Commerce Department on April 13 released an antidumping duty order on mobile access equipment from China (A-570-139). The order sets permanent antidumping duties, which will remain in place unless revoked by Commerce in a sunset or changed circumstances review. Commerce will now begin conducting annual administrative reviews, if requested, to determine final assessments of AD duties on importers and make changes to cash deposit rates.

The order details a “gap period” of no AD duty liability for subject merchandise entered March 29, 2022, through April 12, 2022. Commerce may only suspend liquidation for four months after its preliminary AD duty determination, issued Sept. 30, 2021, without the International Trade Commission having found injury. Commerce will order CBP to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, any entries during this gap period.

Commerce also recently issued a CV duty order on mobile access equipment from China (see 2112090026). Liquidation is still suspended for entries subject to that CV duty order during the "gap period" in the AD duty investigation.

AD Suspension of Liq Instructions

Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise entered on or after April 13, the date that the final ITC affirmative injury determination was published.

An AD cash deposit requirement is also in effect for subject merchandise entered on or after April 13, equal to the rates listed below:
