US ITC determination on SS bar from four countries

On March 1, 2006, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) instituted five-year reviews (“sunset”) concerning the antidumping duties on imports of stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain. The US ITC used the sunset reviews to determine whether the revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. As a result of these reviews, the ITC has determined that revocation of the existing antidumping duty orders on stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to US domestic industries. As a result of the ITC's affirmative determination and the US Department of Commerce's (DOC) recent affirmative finding, the existing orders on imports of stainless steel bar from Brazil, India, Japan, and Spain will remain in place.
