US ITC makes determination on refined brown aluminium oxide from China

The US International Trade Commission determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on refined brown aluminum oxide from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determination, the existing order on imports of this product from China will remain in place.

All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.

Today's action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the ITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies and of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

The five-year review concerning Refined Brown Aluminum Oxide from China was instituted on October 1st 2008.

On January 5th 2009, the Commission voted to conduct an expedited review. All six Commissioners found that the domestic group response was adequate and the respondent group response was inadequate and voted for an expedited review.
