For your information, on December 17, 2013, the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC) voted to continue: (1) the
antidumping (AD) orders on hot-rolled carbon steel products from
China, India, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, and Ukraine; and (2) the
countervailing duty (CVD) orders on hot-rolled carbon steel
products from India, Indonesia, and Thailand.
The ITC determined that revocation of the AD/CVD orders would be
likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material industry
to the U.S. hot-rolled steel industry. The ITC conducts this type
of "sunset" review once every five years.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO IMPORTERS? As a result of
the ITC's determination, the Department of Commerce will
continue the AD/CVD orders for at least another five years. We
expect that the next sunset review will be initiated on or about
January 2019.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
