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 barium chloride from China (A-570-007), floor-standing metal-top ironing tables from China (A-570-888), prestressed concrete steel wire strand from China (A-570-945), and stainless steel wire rod from Italy (A-475-820), Japan (A-588-843), South Korea (A-580-829), Spain (A-469-807), and Taiwan (A-583-828); as well as the countervailing duty order on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from China (A-570-946), in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in May (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.
