On Monday, January 5, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the revocation of its antidumping (AD) order against rebar from Turkey.
This announcement follows the US International Trade Commission's (ITC) final negative determination in the second sunset review of this order. The ITC had determined that revocation of the order would not be likely to lead to material injury to the domestic industry.
The effective date of revocation is March 26, 2008, which is the fifth anniversary of the publication date of the continuation of this antidumping order after the first sunset review.
The DOC will send instructions to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue the suspension of liquidation and collection of cash deposits on entries which were made on or after the above date. CBP will refund dumping duties which were deposited on or after March 26, 2008.
