The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to conduct full five-year “sunset” reviews concerning the antidumping duty orders on carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from Japan and Romania.
As a result of the votes, the Commission will conduct full reviews to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
With respect to Romania, all six Commissioners concluded that both the domestic and the respondent group responses were adequate and voted for a full review. With respect to Japan, all six Commissioners concluded that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate, but that circumstances warranted a full review.
