Leibowitz: AD/CVD Orders on Brazil HRC Nixed—What’s It Mean?
Written by Lewis Leibowitz
Last Friday, as Michael Cowden reported, the International Trade Commission (ITC) voted to continue antidumping orders on hot-rolled steel flat products from Australia, Korea, the Netherlands, Japan, Russia, the UK, and Turkey.
The vote was 5-0. But by a 3-2 vote, the Commission determined that revocation of the AD and CVD orders on Brazil would not be likely to lead to continued or resumed “material injury” to domestic mills. Under the trade laws, therefore, the AD and CVD orders on hot-rolled steel flat products from Brazil will be revoked.
