ITC votes not to sunset duties on NGO electrical steel
Written by Laura Miller
Anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of non-grain-oriented electrical steel (NGO or NOES) will stay on the books for another five years.
This comes after the US International Trade Commission (ITC) determined that injury to the domestic market would be likely to continue if the existing AD/CVD orders on NOES were revoked.
The order covers NOES from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan.
Earlier this month, the US International Trade Administration (ITA) determined the magnitude of dumping and subsidies that would be likely to persist. The agency found the margins likely to prevail would be up to 126.72% for Sweden, 98.84% for Germany, 407.52% for China, 6.88% for Korea, 52.23% for Taiwan, and 204.79% for Japan.
The ITC has the final decision in trade cases, including sunset reviews like this one.
Sunset reviews are conducted every five years to determine if duties should be continued or allowed to expire, or ‘sunset.’
