The next step is for the International Trade Commission to make its final injury determination, currently scheduled for Jan. 5, according to a Commerce fact sheet. If the ITC finds injury, Commerce will issue an AD order and duties will be made permanent. If the ITC finds no injury, the investigation will be terminated and all cash deposits refunded.
Concurrent AD duty investigations on preserved mushrooms from the Netherlands, Poland and Spain are ongoing, with preliminary determinations in those investigations published earlier in November (see 2211020031).
