Due to continuing necessity to prevent injury and evidence of the domestic industry's adjustment, the proclamation extends these protective measures for two additional years. It also continues to exclude imports from Canada and capped imports from certain World Trade Organization (WTO) developing countries, provided they fall within specified thresholds.
