U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) Injury Determinations
 
 May 14, 2002
 

Canadian Softwood Lumber. By a 4-0 decision, the USITC has made a final determination that an industry in the United States is being injured by imports of Canadian softwood lumber. As a result of that determination, the Department of Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order that imposes penalty tariffs averaging 27 percent. The lumber is used extensively in new home construction. In a partial victory for the Canadian lumber industry, USITC also ruled that the tariffs will not go into effect until late May, allowing Canadian producers to receive a rebate of approximately $1 billion in bonds they had posted for shipments that had come into the country starting August 2001.
Silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan, and Venezuela. The USITC has determined that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of silicomanganese from India, Kazakhstan and Venezuela that the Department of Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value. All five commissioners voted in the affirmative. As a result of the commission's affirmative determinations, the Department of Commerce will issue antidumping duty orders on imports of this product from India, Kazakhstan and Venezuela.

Ball Bearings from China. The USITC has determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is being materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of ball bearings from China that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value. As a result of the commission's affirmative determination, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its antidumping duty investigation of imports of ball bearings from China, with its preliminary determination due on or about August 21, 2002.
