Two importers evaded antidumping and countervailing duties on stainless steel flanges from China, CBP said in a recent final determination from an Enforce and Protect Act proceeding that the agency hasn't posted yet. The final determination, dated Oct. 9, is a result of an investigation initiated by CBP last year (see 1812100009) into possible evasion of AD order A-570-064 and CVD order C-570-065. Core Pipe Products, which is represented by Wiley Rein lawyer Daniel Pickard, filed the allegation that set off the proceeding.

CBP didn't find "substantial evidence" to demonstrate that glycine importer Newtrend USA evaded an antidumping duty order, the agency said in a final determination posted Oct. 4. The finding, which is dated Sept. 25, seems to be the first time CBP did not find evidence of evasion under CBP's Enforce and Protect Act process. CBP began its investigation following an allegation filed by Salvi Chemical Industries in 2018 (see 1903180021) that said Newtrend USA used transshipment through Thailand to avoid AD order A-570-836 on glycine from China.
Diamond Tools Technology evaded antidumping duties on diamond sawblades from China, as alleged (see 1706280035), CBP said in a Sept. 17 final determination. After conferring with the Commerce Department through a scope referral, the agency found that substantial evidence supported the allegation. The law firm Wiley Rein lawyer Daniel Pickard filed the original allegation on behalf of the Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers Coalition in 2017.
CBP recently found an importer evaded antidumping and countervailing duties on aluminum extrusions, despite a pending scope ruling request and no allegations of transshipment or misclassification. In a final determination issued Sept. 18 to close out an Enforce and Protect Act investigation, CBP said Worldwide Door Components evaded AD/CV duties by importing door thresholds that the agency says were clearly listed in the scope as subject merchandise. Worldwide says it was simply following instructions in CBP’s own written correspondence.
