U.S. Agency Votes to Continue Trade Cases on Wire Rod Imports from China
03/17/2014 - The U.S. International Trade Commission determined that allegedly subsidized wire rod imports from China are harming U.S. industry.
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China that are allegedly subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
Chairman Irving A. Williamson and commissioners Dean A. Pinkert, David S. Johanson, Meredith M. Broadbent, and F. Scott Kieff voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Shara L. Aranoff did not participate in these investigations.
As a result of the Commission's affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its investigations on imports of these products, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about 28 April 2014, and its antidumping duty determinations due on or about 10 July 2014.
