On October 7, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the final results of its second sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order against stainless steel plate in coils from South Africa.
The DOC has made an affirmative determination, finding that revocation of the order would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of subsidizing, determining the following margins:
Country |
Company |
CVD margin - % |
South Africa |
Columbus Stainless All others |
3.95 3.95

The US International Trade Commission is also conducting a full sunset review of the order, and a negative injury determination by the commission will result in revocation of the order, regardless of the DOC's determinations.
The merchandise subject to the order is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings: 219.11.00.30, 7219.11.00.60, 7219.12.00.05, 7219.12.00.20, 7219.12.00.25, 7219.12.00.50, 7219.12.00.55, 7219.12.00.65, 7219.12.00.70, 7219.12.00.80, 7219.31.00.10, 7219.90.00.10, 7219.90.00.20, 7219.90.00.25, 7219.90.00.60, 7219.90.00.80, 7220.11.00.00, 7220.20.10.10, 7220.20.10.15, 7220.20.10.60, 7220.20.10.80, 7220.20.60.05, 7220.20.60.10, 7220.20.60.15, 7220.20.60.60, 7220.20.60.80, 7220.90.00.10, 7220.90.00.15, 7220.90.00.60, and 7220.90.00.80.
