Commerce, ITC Set to Consider Revoking AD Order on Threaded Rod, Service Valves Next Month

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that it and the International Trade Commission will next month consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic Acid (HEDP) from India and China (A-533-847-930, A-570-934); the AD duty order on frontseating service valves from China (A-570-933); the AD duty order on malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China (A-570-881); the AD duty order on steel threaded rod from China (A-570-932); and the AD duty orders on polyvinyl alcohol from China and South Korea (A-570-879, A-580-850), in their automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in March. Advance notice is given because sunset reviews have short deadlines. An order will be revoked unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC finds that revocation would result in continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, a negative determination by either Commerce or the ITC would result in the revocation of these orders.
