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.
The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Sept. 28. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD duty order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
(Commerce also issued a final determination in its concurrent CV duty investigation on boltless steel shelving from China (see 1508250020).)
