Agency Vote Determines U.S. Industry Injured by Wire Rod Imports from China
12/15/2014 - The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from China.
Commerce previously made affirmative critical circumstances determinations in its investigations. Therefore, the Commissioners who made affirmative determinations today are required to determine whether imports covered by Commerce’s critical circumstances determinations are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders Commerce will issue. With respect to critical circumstances, all six Commissioners voted in the negative.
Petitioners in this trade case included ArcelorMittal USA, Charter Steel, EVRAZ Pueblo, Gerdau Long Steel North America, Keystone Consolidated Industries, and Nucor Corp.
