According to the final result of an expedited sunset review of the anti-dumping (AD) duty order, the US Department of Commerce (USDOC) found that the cancelation of the existing AD order on stainless steel sheets and strips from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping at a magnitude of dumping margin of up to 76.64%.

The products involved are stainless steel sheets and strips with a width greater than 9.5 mm and with a thickness of 0.3048 mm and greater but less than 4.75 mm, annealed or heat treated and pickled or descaled.
