Antidumping Duties Kept; 77.70% Margin
The Department of Commerce kept antidumping duties on diffusion-annealed, nickel-plated flat-rolled steel from Japan, effective January 7, 2025. Commerce found revoking the order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping, and determined the weighted-average dumping margin likely to prevail would be up to 77.70 percent.
Decision Aimed to Protect U.S. Steel Firms
Commerce's final results are intended to help protect American steel jobs and businesses and preserve the competitive position of U.S. producers such as Thomas Steel. The Department relied on a sunset review and concluded that maintaining the order would prevent likely dumping from recurring.
