Sunset Reviews of AD/CV Duty Orders on Retail Bags to Begin Next Month

The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that next month it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on chloropicrin from China (A-570-002); carbazole violet pigment 23 from China and India (A-570-892, A-533-838); crepe paper from China (A-570-895); and polyethylene retail carrier bags from China (A-570-886), Indonesia (A-560-822), Malaysia (A-557-813), Taiwan (A-583-843), Thailand (A-549-821) and Vietnam (A-552-806); as well as countervailing duty orders on carbazole violet pigment 23 from India (C-533-839) and polyethylene retail carrier bags from Vietnam (C-552-805), in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in April (here). 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 International Trade Commission 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.
