The Commerce Department has published the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Germany (A-428-844). The agency calculated a zero rate for the only company under review, AG der Dillinger Huttenwerke. Subject merchandise from Dillinger entered between May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023, will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. The new zero percent AD cash deposit rate is effective Oct. 9.

A Federal Maritime Commission administrative law judge this week dismissed a Los Angeles-based shipper’s complaint against ocean carrier Hapag-Lloyd, saying the FMC has no jurisdiction because the case has “no nexus to a port in the United States.”
A Federal Maritime Commission small claims officer this week dismissed a complaint against CMA CGM, saying that shipper Sameh Elawamry failed to show that the ocean carrier did anything improper in its unsuccessful delivery of two vehicles to Egypt.
The Federal Maritime Commission is bringing on two temporary administrative law judges to help it handle a “significant increase” in complaints and disputes filed before the commission, the FMC said Oct. 8. Most complaints involve COVID-19 pandemic-era supply chain issues. “Adding two additional judges will permit the OALJ to ensure timely adjudication of the record number of pending proceedings,” the commission said.
