The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from Taiwan (A-583-869).

The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel products from Japan (A-588-869). Rates calculated in this review will be used to set assessment rates for importers of subject merchandise from the only producer/exporter remaining under review, Toyo Kohan Co., Ltd., that was entered May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024.
The Commerce Department said it's rescinding the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on melamine from China (C-570-021) for the period of review Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, because there were no reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period for Sichuan Aolaite Chemical Co. Ltd. and Xinji Jiuyuan, the only two companies for which the review was requested. The cash deposit rates won't change, and the current cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice. Because the review has been rescinded in its entirety, the entries to which this administrative review pertained will be assessed CVD at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated CVD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, Commerce said.

Exporter Camel Group defended its motion to unredact and re-designate part of the administrative record in its case against its placement on the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List, arguing on July 18 that the government won't suffer harm if Camel Group's lawyers can share the documents with the company. The exporter claimed that the government's interest in shielding the documents is "tarnished by continued inconsistencies in its designation" (Camel Group Co. v. United States, CIT # 25-00022).
Orange juice importers Johanna Foods and Johanna Beverage Company on July 22 asked the Court of International Trade to either temporarily, preliminarily or permanently enjoin the federal government from "imposing and enforcing" President Donald Trump's threatened 50% tariff on Brazil. Filing a combined application for a temporary restraining order and motions for a preliminary or permanent injunction, Johanna Foods and Johanna Beverage said the tariff isn't a proper exercise of either Section 301 or the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (Johanna Foods v. Executive Office of the President of the United States of America, CIT # 25-00155).
Conservative advocacy group the New Civil Liberties Alliance filed another lawsuit challenging the legality of the tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, arguing that IEEPA categorically doesn't allow for tariffs and that the tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump aren't "necessary" to address the declared emergencies. The alliance filed its suit on July 21 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas on behalf of outdoor cooking product maker FIREDISC, the Game Manufacturers Association and wood product maker Ryan Wholesale (FIREDISC, Inc. v. Donald J. Trump, W.D. Tex. # 25-01134).
