US DOC votes to keep AD/CVD orders on certain wire rod imports

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) made its final determinations Wednesday in the expedited sunset reviews of the antidumping orders on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine.
 
As expected, the DOC found that revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping.
 
Previously, the DOC also made an affirmative determination in its sunset review of the countervailing duty order on wire rod from Brazil. 
 
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is conducting a full sunset review of these orders, and a negative injury determination by the ITC will result in the revocation of the orders regardless of the DOC's determinations.
