The US International Trade Commission (ITC) announced its decision regarding the existing duties on structural steel
beams imported from
Japan and South
Korea.
On May 1, 2005, the ITC instituted five-year reviews (“sunset”) concerning the countervailing and antidumping duty orders on imports of structural steel
beams imported from
Japan and South
Korea.
ITC used the sunset reviews to determine whether the revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries.
As a result of these reviews, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders on structural steel
beams from
Japan and South
Korea would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. Accordingly, the existing orders on subject merchandise from
Japan and South
Korea will be revoked.
