The International Trade Administration and International Trade Commission are considering revoking the antidumping duty orders on fresh garlic (A-570-831) and furfuryl alcohol (A-570-835) from China, and ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia (A-821-807) in their automatic five year sunset reviews of these orders, which were initiated on September 1, 2011. Both agencies have deadlines for participation, with some as short as 10 days after the date of initiation. These orders will be revoked unless the ITA finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC finds that revocation would result in material injury to a U.S. industry within a reasonably foreseeable time. ITA notice available here. ITC garlic notice here, FA notice here, and F&NV notice here.
