On August 30, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated an antidumping duty administrative review for
stainless steel sheet and strip (SSSS) in coils imported from
Germany for the period July 1, 2005, through June 30, 2006. The review covered German producers ThyssenKrupp Nirosta GmbH (ThyssenKrupp Nirosta), ThysssenKrupp Nirosta Prazisionsband GmbH (TKNP), ThyssenKrupp VDM GmbH (TKVDM) - collectively, TKN.
Since TKN withdrew its request within 90 days of the initiation of the administrative review, the DOC decided to rescind the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on SSSS in coils imported from
Germany.
