Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
As a result, the ITC states that no AD duty orders will be issued on subject merchandise from Mexico and Turkey.
International Trade Administration (ITA) sources have stated that as a result, the AD investigations (A-201-832 (Mexico) and A-489-812 (Turkey)) will be terminated, and the ITA will soon send instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding the lifting of the suspension of liquidation on, and refunding cash deposits and releasing bonds for, entries of subject merchandise.
ITA sources note that the investigations would not be terminated in the unlikely event that litigation to dispute the ITC's determinations is initiated.
