ITC initiates sunset review for pipe fittings from five countries

The US International Trade Commission will initiate a sunset review for duties on carbon steel butt weld pipe fittings imported from Brazil, China, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan. The US International Trade Commission (ITC) yesterday voted to conduct full sunset reviews (five-year reviews) of anti-dumping duty orders on carbon steel butt weld pipe fittings imported from Brazil, China, Japan, Thailand and Taiwan. As a result of the voting, the ITC decided to conduct full sunset reviews to determine whether the revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury for US domestic industries. Interested parties are requested to submit their comments on the decision of the ITC. Generally, 95 days after the initiation of the review the ITC determines whether the responses indicate an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If the responses are adequate, the ITC will conduct a full review, which includes public hearings and questionnaires.
