Domestic Steel Producers Appeal CIT Dismissal of Challenge of Sunset Revocation of AD Orders

Allegheny Steel Corp. and North American Stainless appealed the Court of International Trade’s November dismissal of a challenge to the results of a sunset review that resulted in the 2010 revocation of the antidumping duty orders on stainless steel sheet and strip from Italy, Germany, and Mexico. In its injury determination in the sunset review, the International Trade Commission had said that ThyssenKrupp’s U.S. subsidiary had effectively become part of U.S. industry, and had effective control over imports from affiliates in Italy, Germany, and Mexico. CIT upheld that determination.
