CITA has already postponed a ruling on the request twice while negotiations are pursued with China.

But the inter-agency committee has ruled favourably on US industry requests for safeguards on nine other Chinese import categories this year.

Another 10 rulings, including the four postponed Friday, are pending, a CITA official said. The committee has yet to decide whether to accept an additional 13 categories for consideration.
