ITA, Russia Agree on Draft Changes to Russia Flat-Rolled Steel AD Suspension Agreement
The U.S. and Russia agreed to a draft revision of the agreement suspending the International Trade Administration’s antidumping duty investigation on certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon quality steel products from Russia (A-821-809). The ITA had previously said it intended to terminate the 1999 suspension agreement, and resume the investigation, because it was no longer preventing price undercutting by Russian exporters. Interested parties are invited to comment on the revisions by Nov. 23. The ITA and the Russian Ministry of Economic Development must sign a final version of the agreement by Nov. 30, the ITA said.
