ITC will announce the reviews, requesting related parties to show possible damages when the antidumping tariff is lifted and other information. Normally within 95 days from the announcement, ITC will decide whether a full review is needed or not, basing on replies of related parties. A full review consists of a public hearing and questionnaire. Public hearing or additional investigation is not carried out in expedited reviews.
