Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand From China: Institution of Five-Year (Sunset) Reviews of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has formally instituted five-year sunset reviews of the existing antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on prestressed concrete steel wire strand (PC strand) imported from China. These reviews are mandated under the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, which requires the ITC to periodically assess whether revoking trade remedy orders would likely cause material injury to domestic U.S. industries. The central question of these reviews is whether revoking the AD and CVD orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic prestressed concrete steel wire strand industry. The ITC will examine factors such as import volumes, pricing trends, and the health of the domestic industry if the orders were lifted. Interested parties — including domestic producers, importers, exporters, and trade associations — are formally requested to respond to this notice by submitting specified information to the Commission within the established deadlines. Failure to respond adequately may result in the review being conducted on an expedited basis using only facts available to the Commission. If the ITC determines that revocation would likely cause injury, the existing duties on Chinese PC strand will remain in place for an additional five years. If it finds no likelihood of injury, the orders will be revoked and Chinese imports would no longer be subject to these trade remedies.
