Antidumping Duty Order and Amended Final Determination/a>
Countervailing Duty Order
Summary: The U.S. Department Commerce issued the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on Kitchen Appliance Shelving & Racks from China. When the U.S. Department of Commerce published its preliminary determination, importers were required to begin paying cash deposits or posting bond on each entry of refrigeration shelving or oven racks for estimated antidumping duties. Deposits and bonds were at rates equal to the preliminary rates calculated or assigned to the producer or exporter from which the importer imported the merchandise. Because the U.S. International Trade Commission voted that imports of Chinese refrigerator shelving materially injures a U.S. industry, importers must make cash deposits for estimated antidumping duties at rates calculated in the final determinations for the producer or exporter from which the importer buys. The U.S. International Trade Commission only found threat of material injury for oven racks, however, so all cash deposits or bonds posted before the U.S. International Trade Commission published its final determination must be refunded or released. If you have not received your refund or release, call a trade lawyer!
