Background

China.\1\ On March 31, 2021, Commerce initiated,\2\ and on April 1,
2021, the ITC instituted,\3\ the fifth sunset review of the Order,
pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act). As a result of its review, Commerce determined that revocation of
the Order would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping
and, therefore, notified the ITC of the magnitude of the margins likely
to prevail should the Order be revoked.\4\
