USITC MAKES DETERMINATION IN FIVE-YEAR (SUNSET) REVIEWS CONCERNING UTILITY SCALE WIND TOWERS FROM CHINA AND VIETNAM

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders on utility scale wind towers from China and Vietnam would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of these products from China and Vietnam will remain in place.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson, Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative.

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

The Commission’s public report Utility Scale Wind Towers from China and Vietnam (Inv. No. 701-TA-486 and 731-TA-1195-1196 (Second Review), USITC Publication 5553, October 2024) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.

The report will be available by October 25, 2024; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
