On May 28, 2024, the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) issued its final judgment in Archroma U.S., Inc., v. United States et al., Court No. 22-00354, finding that the regulatory provision upon which the U.S. Department of Commerce relied to revoke the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents (OBAs) from Taiwan and the People's Republic of China (China) violates section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and ordering the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) to: accept the domestic interested party Archroma U.S., Inc.'s (Archroma) substantive response; and conduct a full sunset reviews of these orders. Commerce is notifying the public that the CIT's final judgment is not in harmony with Commerce's final results of the sunset reviews, and that Commerce intends to: reinstate the antidumping duty orders on OBAs from Taiwan and China; accept Archroma's substantive response; and conduct full sunset reviews of these orders under section 751(c)(1) and (d)(2) of the Act. Commerce will begin reconducting the sunset reviews on July 1, 2024.
