Following a petition from a coalition of wind tower manufacturers that alleged unfair pricing, the Department of Commerce announced January 19 that it is initiating investigations into utility-scale wind towers in China and Vietnam. The International Trade Administration is initiating antidumping investigations into utility-scale wind turbine towers from the two countries, as well as a countervailing duty investigation into towers form China. Additionally, the International Trade Commission will make preliminary injury determinations around February 13, and if it determines that there is reasonable indication that imports from the two nations are materially injuring, or threatening material injury to, the domestic market, the investigations will continue.
