USITC Makes Determinations in Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews Concerning Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from China and Taiwan
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from China and Taiwan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of these products from China and Taiwan will remain in place.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.
The Commission’s public report Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from China and Taiwan (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-467 and 731-TA-1164-1165 (Review), USITC Publication 4634, September 2016) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by September 30, 2016; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: http://pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp.
BACKGROUND
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.
The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the review, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.
The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Narrow Woven Ribbons with Woven Selvedge from China and Taiwan were instituted on August 3, 2015.
On November 6, 2015, the Commission voted to conduct full reviews. With regard to China, Then-Chairman Meredith M. Broadbent and Commissioners David S. Johanson, F. Scott Kieff, and Rhonda K. Schmidtlein concluded that the domestic group response for these reviews was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate, but that circumstances warranted full reviews; Then-Vice Chairman Dean A. Pinkert and Commissioner Irving A. Williamson determined that both the domestic and the respondent group responses were adequate and voted for full reviews.
With regard to Taiwan, all six Commissioners concluded that both the domestic and the respondent group responses for this review were adequate and voted for full reviews.
A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct full reviews is available from the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW, Washington, DC 20436. Requests may be made by telephone by calling 202-205-1802.
USITC Votes to Continue Investigations on Ammonium Sulfate from China
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of ammonium sulfate from China that are allegedly subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on imports of this product from China, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about August 18, 2016, and its preliminary antidumping duty determination due on or about November 1, 2016.
The Commission’s public report Ammonium Sulfate from China, Inv. Nos. 701-TA-562 and 731-TA-1339 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 4624, July 2016) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
The report will be available after August 8, 2016. After that date, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: http://pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp.

USITC Will Conduct Full Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews Concerning Aluminum Extrusions From China
The U.S. International Trade Commission has voted to conduct full five-year (“sunset”) reviews concerning the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from China.
As a result of the vote, the Commission will conduct full reviews to determine whether revocation of the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time.

Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from China and Japan Injure U.S. Industry, Says USITC
The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of cold-rolled steel flat products from China and Japan that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the USITC’s affirmative determinations, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty order on imports of these products from China and antidumping duty orders on imports of these products from China and Japan.
The Commission also made negative findings with respect to critical circumstances with regard to imports of these products from China and Japan. As a result, goods that entered the United States from China prior to December 22, 2015, will not be subject to retroactive countervailing duties, and goods that entered the United States from China and Japan prior to March 7, 2016, will not be subject to retroactive antidumping duties (dates are the dates of the Department of Commerce’s affirmative preliminary determinations).
The Commission’s public report Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from China and Japan (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-541 and 731-TA-1284 and 1286 (Final), USITC Publication 4619, July 2016) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
