US DOC: Final results of sunset review on SS bar from four countries

On March 1, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated the second sunset review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan and Spain. On the basis of the notices of intent to participate and adequate substantive responses filed on behalf of domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the DOC determined to conduct expedited sunset reviews of these orders. As a result of these sunset reviews, the DOC found that revocation of these AD orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at the margins indicated below:
