If the critical circumstances decision is confirmed by the International Trade Commission, imports of hot-rolled steel from all Japanese companies except Nippon Steel and NKK Corporation will be liable for antidumping duties since November 21, 1998. The final determinations in the investigations of hot-rolled steel products from Russia and Brazil are currently scheduled for June 10 and July 6 respectively. If the Department makes affirmative final determinations, the ITC must make a final injury determination in each investigation. If that determination is affirmative, the Department will issue antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders. The final determination in the antidumping investigation on these products from Russia has been extended until June 10, 1999.
Date is estimated.
