The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determinations, currently scheduled for June 2, according to an ITC fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue AD orders and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigations will be terminated and all cash deposits will be refunded.
Commerce also issued affirmative final determinations in its concurrent countervailing-duty investigations on certain alkyl phosphate esters from China, setting CVD rates ranging from 81.82% to 491.21% (see 2504250061).
