On March 1, 2022, the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) issued an announcement to launch the first sunset review investigation of anti-dumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) on stainless steel sheet and strip from China.

At the same time, the US International Trade Commission (USITC) also published a notice to initiate the five-year reviews on subject products from China, to determine whether the revocation of the existing AD and CVD orders would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the US industry within a reasonably foreseeable period.
