The US International Trade Commission (ITC) announced its decision regarding the sunset reviews concerning carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from the Czech Republic,
Japan,
Mexico,
Romania, and South
Africa.
On August 5, 2005, the ITC instituted five-year reviews (“sunset”) concerning the antidumping duty orders on imports of carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from the Czech Republic,
Japan,
Mexico,
Romania, and South
Africa.
ITC used the sunset reviews to determine whether the revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries.
As a result of these reviews, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing antidumping duty orders on imports of small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Japan and
Romania and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Japan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries.
Moreover, the ITC determined that revocation of the existing antidumping duty orders on imports of small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from Czech Republic and South
Africa and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Mexico would not likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries.
Accordingly, the existing orders on imports of small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Japan and
Romania and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Japan will remain in place. On the other hand, the existing orders on imports of small diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from Czech Republic and South
Africa and large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure
pipe from
Mexico will be revoked.
