Polyvinyl Alcohol From China and Japan; Scheduling of Expedited Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is conducting expedited five-year (sunset) reviews to decide whether removing existing antidumping duty orders on polyvinyl alcohol from China and Japan would likely lead to renewed injury to U.S. industry.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission has scheduled expedited five-year reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the antidumping duty orders on polyvinyl alcohol from China and Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. The notice concerns the review process itself; it does not state any change to the duties currently in place.

Who's affected: The notice names polyvinyl alcohol as the product and cites China and Japan as the countries of origin subject to the existing antidumping duty orders under review. Specific HTS codes are not stated in the notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products fall within the polyvinyl alcohol described in the existing antidumping duty orders.
- Confirm with your licensed customs broker whether current antidumping duties continue to apply while the reviews are pending.
- Check the country of origin of your goods against the China and Japan orders cited.
- Confirm the correct HTS classification and any applicable antidumping case numbers with your broker.
