SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 15, 2013, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the AD order on large residential washers from Mexico.\1\ On April 1,
2024, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce initiated,\3\ the second
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 the
continuation or recurrence of dumping, and therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins of dumping likely to prevail should the
Order be revoked.\4\
