ITC to Expedite Sunset Review of Stainless Pipe from Korea, Taiwan
10/06/2011 - The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to expedite its five-year ("sunset") reviews concerning the antidumping duty orders on certain welded stainless steel pipe from Korea and Taiwan.
The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to expedite its five-year ("sunset") reviews concerning the antidumping duty (AD) orders on certain welded stainless steel pipe from Korea and Taiwan (Inv. Nos. 731-TA-540-541 (Third Review)).
As a result of these votes, the Commission will conduct expedited 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 Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an AD or countervailing duty (CVD) order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC 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 (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
All six Commissioners concluded that the domestic group response for these reviews was adequate and the respondent group responses were inadequate and voted for expedited reviews.
The Commission will issue a report after it completes its reviews.
