Importers Keep Paying Antidumping Duties
If you import steel propane cylinders from the People’s Republic of China or Thailand, you will continue to pay antidumping duties when those goods enter the United States. Commerce and the ITC determined that removing these duties would likely lead to unfairly priced imports and harm a U.S. industry, so the AD orders remain in effect.
Chinese Imports Remain Subject to Countervailing Duties
If you import steel propane cylinders from the People’s Republic of China, you will continue to pay countervailing duties meant to offset government subsidies. Commerce found that revoking the CVD order on Chinese imports would likely allow subsidized imports to resume and injure a U.S. industry, so the CVD order remains in place.
U.S. Cylinder Makers Remain Protected
U.S. manufacturers of steel propane cylinders will remain protected because the antidumping orders on imports from China and Thailand and the countervailing order on imports from China continue. The agencies concluded that ending those orders would likely cause dumping, subsidized imports, and material injury to a U.S. industry.
