Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip From
the People’s Republic of China:
Continuation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S.
International Trade Commission (ITC)
have determined that revocation of the
antidumping duty (AD) and
countervailing duty (CVD) orders on
stainless steel sheet and strip (SSSS)
from the People’s Republic of China
(China) would be likely to lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping,
net countervailable subsidies, and
material injury to an industry in the
United States. Therefore, Commerce is
publishing a notice of continuation of
these AD and CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable November 4, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On April 3, 2017, Commerce
published the AD and CVD orders on
SSSS from China.1 On March 1, 2022,
Commerce published the notice of
initiation of the first sunset reviews of
the Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).2 As a result of its reviews,
Commerce determined that revocation
of the AD order would likely lead to the
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and that revocation of the CVD order
would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of countervailable

subsidies.3 Therefore, Commerce
notified the ITC of the magnitude of the
dumping margins and net
countervailable subsidy rates likely to
prevail should the Orders be revoked,
pursuant to sections 752(b) and (c) of
the Act. On October 24, 2022, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the Orders would likely lead to
continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United
States within a reasonably foreseeable
time.4
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
Orders is stainless steel sheet and strip,
whether in coils or straight lengths.
Stainless steel is an alloy steel
containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or
less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more
of chromium, with or without other
elements. The subject sheet and strip is
a flat-rolled product with a width that
is greater than 9.5 mm and with a
thickness of 0.3048 mm and greater but
less than 4.75 mm, and that is annealed
or otherwise heat treated, and pickled or
otherwise descaled. The subject sheet
and strip may also be further processed
(e.g., cold-rolled, annealed, tempered,
polished, aluminized, coated, painted,
varnished, trimmed, cut, punched, or
slit, etc.) provided that it maintains the
specific dimensions of sheet and strip
set forth above following such
processing. The products described
include products regardless of shape,
and include products of either
rectangular or non-rectangular crosssection where such cross-section is
achieved subsequent to the rolling
process, i.e., products which have been
‘‘worked after rolling’’ (e.g., products
which have been beveled or rounded at
the edges).
For purposes of the width and
thickness requirements referenced
above: (1) where the nominal and actual
measurements vary, a product is within
the scope if application of either the
nominal or actual measurement would
place it within the scope based on the
definitions set forth above; and (2)
where the width and thickness vary for
a specific product (e.g., the thickness of
