The Commerce Department issued a final negative determination in its antidumping duty investigation and a final affirmative determination in its countervailing duty investigation on imports of paper file folders from Cambodia, it said in a fact sheet issued Dec. 22. Commerce thereby ended its AD investigation and set CVD rates at 30.38% for Cambodian exporters, the agency said. These rates will take effect upon publication in the Federal Register of these final determinations, which should occur in the coming days.
The Court of International Trade remanded the Commerce Department's expedited countervailing duty review on Canadian softwood lumber for the ninth time on Dec. 18, finding the agency abused its discretion in declining to reopen the record to let respondent Les Produits Forestiers D&G and its cross-owned affiliate Les Produits Forestiers Portbec add information to help distinguish sales affected by subsidies to unaffiliated input suppliers.

The Court of International Trade on Dec. 18 again remanded the Commerce Department's countervailing duty expedited review of softwood lumber products from Canada. After multiple remands, the sole remaining issue concerns the calculation of the CVD rate for respondent Les Produits Forestiers D&G and its cross-owned affiliates, including Les Produits Forestiers Portbec. Specifically, the issue is the method of calculation used to adjust for the amount of lumber D&G and Portbec bought from unaffiliated suppliers when determining how much of the suppliers' subsidies were attributable to D&G. Barnett held that Commerce abused its discretion in the most recent remand by declining D&G's request to reopen the record to provide additional information to help distinguish sales affected by the subsidies. The judge said finality concerns don't overcome this failure.
The International Trade Commission found that imports of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia injure a U.S. industry, paving the way for antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders, the agency announced Dec. 10. It issued this final determination following a Commerce Department finding that imports from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia are sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, and imports from India are subsidized by the Indian government (see 2509220038 and 2509220027). As a result, the Commerce Department will issue AD orders on hexamine imports from Germany, India and Saudi Arabia and a CVD order on imports of this product from India.
