On Tuesday, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced that it has revoked the antidumping (AD) orders on hot rolled carbon-quality steel flat products from Brazil and Japan and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on hot rolled carbon-quality flat-rolled steel flat products from Brazil.
This announcement follows the US International Trade Commission's (ITC) final negative determination in its sunset review of these orders. The ITC determined that revocation of these orders "would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury (to the domestic industry) within a reasonably foreseeable time."
The effective date of revocation is May 26, 2010, which is the fifth anniversary of the publication of the results of the previous sunset review.
The DOC will send instructions to US Customs and Border Protection to terminate the suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits on entries which were made on or after May 26, 2010.
The merchandise subject to the orders is classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under the subheadings: 7208.10.15.00, 7208.10.30.00, 7208.10.60.00, 7208.25.30.00, 7208.25.60.00, 7208.26.00.30, 7208.26.00.60, 7208.27.00.30, 7208.27.00.60, 7208.36.00.30, 7208.36.00.60, 7208.37.00.30, 7208.37.00.60, 7208.38.00.15, 7208.38.00.30, 7208.38.00.90, 7208.39.00.15, 7208.39.00.30, 7208.39.00.90, 7208.40.60.30, 7208.40.60.60, 7208.53.00.00, 7208.54.00.00, 7208.90.00.00, 7210.70.30.00, 7210.90.90.00, 7211.14.00.30, 7211.14.00.90, 7211.19.15.00, 7211.19.20.00, 7211.19.30.00, 7211.19.45.00, 7211.19.60.00, 7211.19.75.30, 7211.19.75.60, 7211.19.75.90, 7212.40.10.00, 7212.40.50.00 and 7212.50.00.00.
