On December 14, 1998, the Ministry of Finance (MOF) issued an antidumping duty order on imports of H-Beam from Poland, Russia and Korea. On October 13, 2003, the MOF, pursuant to the Implementation Regulation on the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties and a request by Tung Ho Steel Enterprise Corporation, initiated the investigation of the sunset review on the aforementioned case.

Following a decision by the MOF, the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is conducting an investigation to determine whether the expiry revocation of the antidumping duty order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury.
The review will be concluded within a period of eight months beginning October 13, 2003. If necessary, the period may be extended, but the investigation will normally be concluded within 12 months. In order to proceed with the injury investigation, the ITC will send questionnaires for the known interested parties (including domestic producers and importers and foreign producers and purchasers) to fill in, hold hearings, and disclose the essential facts that form the basis for a determination.
