(In its AD/CV sunset reviews, the International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that revocation of these AD/CV duty orders would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the U.S. within a reasonably foreseeable time. See ITT's Online Archives or 02/28/06 news, 06022830, for BP summary of the ITC press release announcing its decision to revoke these AD/CV duty orders.)

The ITA states that it will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discontinue suspension of liquidation and collection of AD/CV cash deposits on entries of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after the effective dates of revocation of these AD/CV duty orders, as listed below:
