U.S. Agency Vote Will Result in Continuation of Duties on Hot Rolled Steel Imports
12/19/2013 - In a sunset review, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that revoking import duties on hot rolled steel from six countries would be likely to harm the domestic steel industry.
The ITC determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hot rolled steel products from China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of these products from China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine will remain in place.
Chairman Irving A. Williamson and commissioners Dean A. Pinkert and David S. Johanson voted in the affirmative with respect to all countries. Commissioners Meredith M. Broadbent and F. Scott Kieff voted in the affirmative with respect to China, India, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine and in the negative with respect to Indonesia. Commissioner Shara L. Aranoff did not participate in the determinations concerning these reviews.
