Commerce finds continuation of duties likely on wind towers and metal goods from several countries

The U.S. Department of Commerce has released final results from expedited sunset reviews regarding antidumping and countervailing duty orders on various imported goods. According to the Federal Register, Commerce found that revoking antidumping duties on utility scale wind towers from India, Malaysia, and Spain would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at previously determined levels.

Additionally, Commerce concluded that revoking the countervailing duty order on utility scale wind towers from India would likely result in continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies. These findings were part of the first sunset reviews for these products.

Commerce also reviewed antidumping duty orders on certain metal lockers and parts from China, magnesia carbon bricks from Mexico and China, and floor-standing metal-top ironing tables and parts from China. In all cases, Commerce found that revocation of these orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at established levels.

These determinations indicate that continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies is likely if the orders are revoked, suggesting that existing duties may be maintained. The Federal Register notes these are final results from expedited sunset reviews conducted by Commerce.
