In a federal register notice to be published on April 3, 2017, the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Department of Commerce announced the initiation of the five-year Sunset Review of antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) orders on Garlic from China (A-570-831), Stilbenic Optical Brightening Agents from China and Taiwan (A-570-972, A-583-848) and Steel Nails from the UAE (A-520-804).
The Uruguay Round Agreement Act requires the Department of Commerce to conduct reviews after an AD/CVD order has been issued in order to determine if the revocation of the order would result in material injury to a domestic company or in recurrence of dumping or subsidies.
According to the notice, “if the Department receives a Notice of Intent to Participate from a member of the domestic industry within 15 days of the date of initiation, the review will continue.
Interested parties need to submit a notice of intend to participate no later than 10 days after publication in the Federal Register followed by the submission of their complete substantive responses no later than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
