USITC Determines PC Strand from China Injures U.S. Industry
Jun. 11, 2010 The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by imports of prestressed concrete steel wire strand from China that the U.S. Department of Commerce has determined are subsidized and sold in the U.S. at less than fair value.
All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.
As a result, the Department of Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on imports of this product from China.
The Commission's public report Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from China (Investigation Nos. 701-TA-464 and 731-TA-1160 (Final), USITC Publication 4162, June 2010) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations. Copies may be obtained after July 13, 2010.
Petitioners for the investigation were American Spring Wire Corp., Bedford Heights, Ohio; Insteel Wire Products Co., Mt. Airy, N.C.; and Sumiden Wire Products Corp., Dickson, Tenn.
