The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced Tuesday that, as a result of the affirmative determinations of the DOC and the US International Trade Commission (ITC) in their separate sunset reviews, the antidumping (AD) orders on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium, Korea, South Africa and Taiwan and the countervailing duty (CVD) order on stainless steel plate in coils from South Africa will be continued.
The next sunset reviews of these orders will be initiated in July 2016.
Previously, the DOC revoked the CVD order on Belgium as the result of the DOC's negative determination in its sunset review of these orders, and it is expected that the DOC will shortly revoke the AD order on Italy as the result of the ITC's negative determination in its sunset review of these orders.
The merchandise subject to the orders is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings: 7219.11.00.30, 7219.11.00.60, 7219.12.00.06, 7219.12.00.21, 7219.12.00.26, 7219.12.00.51, 7219.12.00.56, 7219.12.00.66, 7219.12.00.71, 7219.12.00.81, 7219.31.00.10, 7219.90.00.10, 7219.90.00.20, 7219.90.00.25, 7219.90.00.60, 7219.90.00.80, 7220.11.00.00, 7220.20.10.10, 7220.20.10.15, 7220.20.10.60, 7220.20.10.80, 7220.20.60.05, 7220.20.60.10, 7220.20.60.15, 7220.20.60.60, 7220.20.60.80, 7220.90.00.10, 7220.90.00.15, 7220.90.00.60 and 7220.90.00.80.
