U.S. to decide on Norwegian salmon duties Friday

A majority vote by the six ITC commissioners will remove the 26.7 percent duty, now nearly 20 years old.

Norway's fisheries delegate in the United States, Otto Gregussen, told IntraFish the Norwegian aquaculture industry and Norwegian authorities have focused their efforts on abolishing the antidumping duties for years, lobbying both the U.S. Department of Commerce and ITC, hoping to convince them it is not likely dumping of Norwegian salmon wil occur again, and that it will not be injurious to U.S.
