ITC to Conduct Sunset Review of CTL Plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine

11/05/2008 - The U.S. International Trade Commission votes to conduct full five-year sunset reviews for antidumping duty orders on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine.

The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to conduct full five-year “sunset" reviews on antidumping duty orders on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China, Russia, and Ukraine.
 

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years — unless the Department of Commerce and the ITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (ITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
With respect to Russia and Ukraine, all six Commissioners found that both the domestic and the respondent group responses were adequate and voted for a full review. For China, all six Commissioners found that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate, but that circumstances warranted a full review.

 
As a result of the vote, the Commission will conduct full reviews to determine whether revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
 
The Commission's notice of institution in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file with the Commission responses that discuss the likely effects of revoking the order under review and provide other pertinent information. If responses to the ITC's notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
