On May 12, 2017, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) published in the Federal Register its preliminary determinations regarding the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of biodiesel imports from Argentina and Indonesia.  ITC confirmed that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the U.S. is materially injured by imports of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia, which are alleged to be sold in the U.S. at less than fair value (LTFV) and to be subsidized by the governments of Argentina and Indonesia.  As a result, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) will continue conducting its AD and CVD investigation.  According to the notice, ITC will publish a final phase notice of scheduling in the Federal Register upon notice from DOC of affirmative preliminary determinations in the investigations, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations.  More information on the ITC determinations, which were made pursuant to Section 703(a) and 733(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, is currently available on ITC’s website and will be available in the ITC public report titled “Biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia: Investigation” (publication number 4690).
