On December 5, 2003, the International Trade Commission of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the "ITC") made a determination that the revocation of the antidumping duty order on H-Beam from Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic industry.
After having completed the investigation on whether the situations of injury to the industry have lapsed or changed, the MOEA, as required by Article 44 of the Implementation Regulation on the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties, has notified the Ministry of Finance (MOF) of its determination. The MOF will make a decision on whether to terminate the anti-dumping duty.
The public Chinese version of the injury investigation report is expected to be available after December 30, 2003 from the website http://www.moeaitc.gov.tw or from the office of the Investigation Division of the ITC.
