The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently set for May 2, according to a Commerce fact sheet. 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 is also issuing its final determination in the concurrent countervailing duty investigation on organic soybean meal from India (see 2203220020), setting CV duty rates ranging from 9.57% to 283.91% for Indian exporters. Collection of CV duties is currently on hold pending the ITC's final injury determination.
