1. On 12/16/2022, Commerce issued a final circumvention determination that vertical shaft engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc, produced in China and exported to the United States, are circumventing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and up to 225cc, and parts thereof (small vertical engines), from the People's Republic of China (China) (A-570-124; C-570-125) (A-201-996; C-201-997). See 87 FR 77074. 2. Specifically, Commerce determined that vertical shaft engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc, produced in China and exported to the United States, are covered by the scope of the AD/CVD orders on small vertical engines from China because they are merchandise minorly altered in form or appearance. 3. This final circumvention determination is applicable on a country-wide basis, regardless of foreign producer, exporter, or importer. 4a. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of vertical shaft engines with displacements between 60cc and up to 99cc, produced in China and exported to the United States, already subject to the suspension of liquidation under the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on small vertical engines from China at the cash deposit rates in effect on the date of entry in accordance with message 2297403, dated 10/24/2022. 4b.
