On April 12, 2013, the International Trade Commission (ITC) of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) made an affirmative preliminary determination in its injury investigation involving Certain Cold-rolled Stainless Steel Products from China and Korea.
According to the affirmative preliminary determination, the ITC found that there is a reasonable indication that an ROC industry is materially injured by reason of imports of Certain Cold-rolled Stainless Steel Products from China and Korea that are alleged to be sold in the ROC at less than normal value.
Under the jurisdiction set forth in the Regulations Governing the Implementation of the Imposition of Countervailing and Antidumping Duties, the MOEA shall make an investigation, conducted by the ITC, as to whether there is any injury to an ROC industry. As a result of the MOEA's affirmative preliminary determination, the Ministry of Finance will continue to conduct a dumping investigation of imports of Certain Cold-rolled Stainless Steel Products from China and Korea, and its preliminary determination will be made within 70 days (if not extended) after the next day of receipt of a notice of the foregoing determination.
The public Chinese version of the preliminary injury investigation report is expected to be available after May 12, 2013 from ITC’s website http://www.moeaitc.gov.tw.
