The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register March 4 on the following antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CVD rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in an automatic five-year sunset review scheduled to begin in April it will consider revoking the countervailing duty order on chlorinated isocyanurates from China (C-570-991). This order will be revoked unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to countervailable subsidization and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to 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 wooden cabinets and vanities from China (A-570-106/C-570-107), as well as the AD order on small diameter graphite electrodes from China (A-570-929) and the suspended AD/CVD investigations on sugar from Mexico (A-201-845/C-201-846), Commerce said in a notice March 3.

The Commerce Department announced the opportunity to request administrative reviews by March 31 for producers and exporters subject to 35 antidumping duty orders, 21 countervailing duty orders and two suspended AD/CVD investigations with March anniversary dates.

The International Trade Commission published notices in the March 3 Federal Register on the following antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) injury, Section 337 patent or other trade proceedings (any notices that warrant a more detailed summary will be in another ITT article):

The International Trade Commission is seeking public input on remedies for its Section 337 investigation on Nokia's imported laptop and desktop computers, tablet computers, streaming devices, televisions, cameras and components (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1380), the ITC said in a notice to be published March 4. The ITC initiated the investigation in December 2023 based on allegations that HP and Amazon were importing various electronics that infringe seven of Nokia's patents covering motion compensated prediction inventions, improvements to video decoding techniques, encoding and decoding, and video compression (see 2311030010). The ITC partially terminated the investigation with respect to HP in December and the administrative law judge subsequently found a Section 337 violation by Amazon. The ITC is reviewing the ALJ's determination and is requesting written submissions by “close of business” on March 13.

The International Trade Commission has ended a Section 337 investigation on imported of Dyson surface cleaning products (ITC Inv. No. 337-TA-1404), it said in a March 3 notice. Complainants SharkNinja and Omachron initially alleged in 2023 that Dyson’s stick and hand vacuums copy SharkNinja's and Omachron’s patents related to a straight-line configuration, dust-emptying system and separate dirt collection and cyclone chambers (see 2406130034).

The Commerce Department published notices in the Federal Register March 3 on the following antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CVD rates, scope, affected firms or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):

The Commerce Department soon will suspend liquidation and impose countervailing duty cash deposit requirements on imports of hexamine from China and India, it said in a fact sheet issued March 3. A CVD rate is set at 420.53% for Chinese exporters, and ranges from 2.32% to 139.55% for Indian exporters, the agency said as it announced its preliminary determinations in its ongoing CVD investigations. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements will take effect for entries on or after the date of publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal Register, which should occur in the coming days. Commerce is conducting concurrent antidumping duty investigations on the same products from China, Germany, India and Saudi Arabia, with preliminary determinations expected on April 29.

A domestic producer recently filed a petition with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission requesting new antidumping and countervailing duties on certain chassis and subassemblies imported from Mexico, Thailand and Vietnam. Commerce now will decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD and CVD on importers. The U.S. Chassis Manufacturers Coalition, which consists of the Cheetah Chassis Corporation and Stoughton Trailers, requested the investigation.
