GOES From Seven Countries: Commerce Delays Preliminary Determination
The Commerce Department is extending the deadline for the preliminary determination in its antidumping duty investigations on grain-oriented electrical steel from China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Poland, and Russia (A-570-994, A-851-803, A-428-842, A-588-871, A-580-871, A-455-804, A-821-821). Commerce began the investigations in October (see 13103020), on the basis of a petition filed by domestic steel producer AK Steel (see 13101707). AK Steel requested that Commerce push back its deadline to give the agency more time to request and analyze information from Chinese companies. The agency’s preliminary findings are now due May 2.
