The U.S. Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration published a notice in the Federal Register Aug. 12 that it will revoke an antidumping order on ammonium nitrate from Russia, effective Aug. 20, 2016. The reason given was that no domestic party indicated that it planned to participate in the five-year sunset review of the dumping order.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) on July 1 (GM July 8, p. 1) initiated a five-year sunset review to determine whether revoking the antidumping duty order on ammonium nitrate imports from Russia would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic AN industry “within a reasonably foreseeable time.”
