The ITA is amending its final determination to correct ministerial errors in the calculation of the subsidy rates for Wuxi Seamless Oil Pipe Co., Ltd. (WSP); Jiangsu Changbao Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Pipe (Group) Co. (TPCO).
CV Liquidation and Refund Instructions
Because the International Trade Commission's final injury determination is based on the threat of material injury, the ITA will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to terminate the CV suspension of liquidation for entries of OCTG from China with time of entry prior to January 13, 2010, and refund any cash deposits made and release any bonds posted from September 15, 2009 through January 12, 2010.
(The ITA instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation on January 13, 2010; therefore, liquidation was already reinstated for CV duty purposes for entries of OCTG from China made on or after January 13, 2010, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC's final determination.)
CV Suspension of Liquidation Reinstated January 20th
The ITA will direct CBP to reinstate the CV suspension of liquidation on all unliquidated entries of OCTG from China with a time of entry on or after January 20, 2010 (the publication date of the ITC's final injury determination).
CV Cash Deposit Requirements
The ITA will also instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties, CV duty cash deposits at the amended rates specified below for entries of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after January 20, 2010:
| Exporter/Manufacturer | Amended Final CV Rate |
|---|---|
| Jiangsu Changbao Steel Tube Co. and Jiangsu Changbao Precision Steel Tube Co., Ltd. | 12.46% (from 11.98%) |
| Tianjin Pipe (Group) Co.; Tianjin Pipe Iron Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; Tianguan Yuantong Pipe Product Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Pipe International Economic and Trading Co., Ltd., and TPCO Charging Development Co., Ltd. | 10.49% (from 10.36%) |
| Wuxi Seamless Pipe Co, Ltd.; Jiangsu Fanli Steel Pipe Co, Ltd.; and Tuoketuo County Mengfeng Special Steel Co., Ltd. | 14.95% (from 14.61%) |
| Zhejiang Jianli Enterprise Co., Ltd.; Zhejiang Jianli Steel Steel Tube Co., Ltd.; Zhuji Jiansheng Machinery Co., Ltd.; and Zhejiang Jianli Industry Group Co., Ltd. | 15.78% (unchanged) |
| All Others | 13.41% (from 13.20%) |
(See ITA notice for additional information, including the scope of the order (which remains unchanged since the initiation notice), etc.
