The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that revoking the existing antidumping duty order on pure magnesium from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determination, the existing order on imports of this product from China will remain in place.

Chairman Deanna Tanner Okun, Vice Chairman Irving A. Williamson, and Commissioners Charlotte R. Lane, Daniel R. Pearson, and Shara L. Aranoff voted in the affirmative. Commissioner Dean A. Pinkert did not participate in this investigation.

Today's action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on this five-year (sunset) review.

The Commission's public report Pure Magnesium from China (Inv. No. 731-TA-696 (Third Review), USITC Publication 4274, October 2011) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the review.
