ITC Makes Affirmative Market Disruption Finding on Ductile Iron Waterworks From China
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) determined yesterday by a vote of 6-0 that certain ductile iron waterworks fittings from China are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to cause market disruption to the domestic producers. As a result of yesterday's vote the ITC commissioners must provide the President with a recommendation for a safeguard remedy to give the domestic industry temporary relief from import competition. The President will make the final decision concerning whether to provide import relief to the U.S. industry and if so, the type and duration of relief.
