The ITA’s original fact sheet listed an incorrect AD duty rate of 7.64% for Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., and incorrect rate of 106.82% for the three separate rate respondents1.
Corrected Preliminary AD Rates for Baoshan, Separate Rate Respondents
The ITA now states that the correct preliminary AD duty rate for Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. is 2.66%.
In addition, the ITA used the incorrect preliminary AD duty rate for Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. to calculate the AD duty rate for the separate rate respondents. Therefore, the correct preliminary AD duty rate for the separate rate respondents is 104.33%.
(The ITA continues to find a preliminary AD duty rate of 206.00% for mandatory respondent DP Master Manufacturing Co., Ltd.; and a preliminary AD duty rate of zero for mandatory respondent Shanxi Yida Special Steel Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd.
It also continues to find a preliminary AD duty rate of 429.29% for the China-wide entity.)
1The three separate rate respondents in this investigation are Shanxi Fenglei Drilling Tools Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Shuguang Huayang Drilling Tool, Co. Ltd.; and Jiangyin Long-Bright Drill Pipe Manufacturing Co. Ltd.
