Sunset Review Initiated on IQF Red Raspberries from Chile
If both sides offer compelling testimony, the ITC will conduct a full review, lasting approximately 360 days.
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission have initiated their sunset reviews of the antidumping duty order on IQF red raspberries from Chile. The sunset reviews, required by statute, are conducted to determine whether revoking the orders would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and the likelihood of a continuation of injury to the domestic injury. If both agencies issue positive determinations, a full review is conducted. If either agency issues a negative determination, the order is revoked.
Commerce typically determines the order should be continued without doing any investigation, leaving the fate of the orders in the hands of the ITC. In the early stages of a sunset review, domestic petitioners, overseas exporters and U.S. importers have an opportunity to present their arguments as to why the order should or should not be revoked. If no domestic petitioners participate, the order will be revoked. Alternatively, if no exporters or importers participate, the order will continue. Also, if only one side makes what the ITC considers a substantive argument, the agency will issue a ruling in favor of that side in an expedited review within 150 days.
If both sides offer compelling testimony, the ITC will conduct a full review, lasting approximately 360 days.
