USITC rods decision

The US international trade commission has reached a decision in its five-year review of carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, Trinidad and Tobago, and Ukraine. With respect to the existing countervailing duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Brazil, and the existing antidumping duty orders on this product from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago, the commission made affirmative determinations, finding that revoking the orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As a result of the commission’s decision, the existing orders on imports of this product from Brazil, Indonesia, Mexico, Moldova, and Trinidad and Tobago will remain in place. With respect to the existing anti dumping duty order on the same rod products fromUkraine, the commission made a negative determination, finding that revoking the order would not be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. As a result of the commission’s negative determination, the existing order on imports of this product from Ukraine will be revoked.
