ITA/ITC to Consider China Polyester Staple Fiber AD Order Next Month

The International Trade Administration is giving advance notice that it and the International Trade Commission will consider revoking the antidumping duty order on polyester staple fiber from China (A-570-905) in their automatic five-year sunset reviews of the order, which is scheduled to be initiated in May 2012.

Advance notice is given as automatic sunset reviews have short deadlines, with some as short as ten days after the date of initiation. An order will be revoked unless the ITA finds that revocation would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the ITC finds that revocation would result in continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry. As a result, a negative determination by either the ITA or the ITC would result in the revocation of the order.

An official notice of the automatic initiation of this sunset review will be published in May 2012.
