US DOC revokes AD and CVD orders on steel beams from Japan and S. Korea

On May 2, 2005, the Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated its sunset reviews of the antidumping duty (AD) orders on structural steel beams from Japan and South Korea, and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on beams from South Korea. The US International Trade Commission (ITC), in its sunset reviews, determined that revocation of the AD orders on beams from Japan and South Korea and the CVD order on beams from South Korea would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the US. Pursuant to the ITC decision, the DOC decided to revoke the AD orders on beams from Japan and South Korea and the CVD order on beams from South Korea.
