DOC to continue AD, CVD duties on SSSS from various countries
On June 1, 2004, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated and the US International Trade Commission (ITC) instituted sunset reviews of the antidumping duty orders on
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils imported from
France,
Germany,
Japan,
Italy, South
Korea,
Mexico,
Taiwan, and the
UK, and the countervailing duties on the said goods imported from
Italy and South
Korea.
On July 18, 2005, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing countervailing and antidumping duty orders on
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from
Germany,
Italy,
Japan, South
Korea,
Mexico and
Taiwan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the US market, but that revocation of the existing antidumping duty orders on the same product from
France and United Kingdom would not.
As a result of the ITC's decision, the DOC decided to continue the existing orders on imports of
stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from
Germany,
Italy,
Japan, South
Korea,
Mexico and
Taiwan, and to revoke the existing duties on the same product from
France and the
UK.
