The U.S. International Trade Commission said imports of silica bricks and shapes from China do not hurt domestic manufacturing, even though the Commerce Department determined earlier that they are sold in the United States at less than fair value.
ITC initiated its antidumping investigation of the brick imports, which are used for refractory purposes, primarily in coke ovens and glass furnaces, based on a petition filed by Utah Refractories Corp. of Lehi, Utah.
All six ITC commissioners voted negative. As a result of the ITC’s determination, an antidumping duty order will not be issued.
