The Commerce Department will set new antidumping duties on a Chinese exporter of stainless steel kegs (A-570-093) but only for a short period of time before the order’s revocation takes effect. Implementing a recent court decision, Commerce’s amended final determination and order increases the duty rate for goods produced by Ningbo Major Draft Beer Equipment Co., Ltd. and exported by Ningbo Master International Trade Co., Ltd., from zero to 4.23%, rendering the company subject to the AD order effective Dec. 5. The company’s zero rate had meant that it was until now exempt from the order. However, Commerce recently revoked the order effective Dec. 16, so new cash deposit requirements will apply only until that date (see 2411200026).
