US ITC votes to conduct five-year review of AD/CVD orders on cut-to-length plate

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has voted to conduct full five-year “sunset” reviews concerning the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from India, Indonesia, and Korea.

As a result of the votes, the ITC 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.

The ITC’s notice of institution in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file with the ITC responses that discuss the likely effects of revoking the order under review and provide other pertinent information. 

With respect to Indonesia, Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Vice Chairman David S. Johanson, and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson, Meredith M. Broadbent, and F. Scott Kieff concluded that both the domestic and the respondent group responses were adequate.

With respect to India and Korea, Chairman Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Vice Chairman David S. Johanson, and Commissioners Irving A. Williamson, Meredith M. Broadbent, and F. Scott Kieff concluded that the domestic responses were adequate and the respondent group responses were inadequate.  They concluded that the circumstances in each warranted full reviews in all investigations.
