Ban for Japanese vector computers in the USA lifted

Washington 13 March 2001 The US Department of Commerce intends to revoke the anti dumping regulation for Japanese vector supercomputers. This after Cray has filed a request to do so after its settlement with NEC.

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(b), Cray Inc. ("Cray") filed a request for changed circumstances review of the antidumping order on vector supercomputers from Japan. Domestic producers of the like product have expressed no interest in continuation of the order with respect to these particular vector supercomputers. In response to Cray's request, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is initiating a changed circumstances review with respect to the request and issuing a notice of intent to revoke the antidumping duty order on vector supercomputers from Japan. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
