Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
As a result of this final AD determination, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect an AD duty cash deposit or bond on imports of aluminum extrusions from China based on the preliminary AD duty margin below, upon publication in the Federal Register, adjusted for any export subsidies, as appropriate, that were found in the companion countervailing duty investigation.
Highlights of the fact sheet include:
Prelim AD Margin of 59.31%, One Entity's Cash Deposit Rate Adjusted
The ITA has determined that Chinese producers/exporters have sold aluminum extrusions in the U.S. at less than fair value, finding an AD duty margin of 59.31%.
Mandatory respondent Guang Ya Aluminum Industries Co., Ltd., Foshan Guangcheng Aluminum Co., Ltd., Guang Ya Aluminum Industries (Hong Kong) Ltd., and Kong Ah International Company Limited (collectively, Guang Ya Group); Zhaoqing New Zhongya Aluminum Co., Ltd., Zhongya Shaped Aluminum HK Holding Ltd, and Karlton Aluminum Company Ltd. (collectively, New Zhongya) and Xinya Aluminum & Stainless Steel Product Co., Ltd. (Xinya), all three referred to as Guang Ya Group/New Zhongya/Xinya, have been collapsed for purposes of the preliminary determination and collectively will be assigned the single AD margin of 59.31%.
However, Guang Ya Group/New Zhongya/Xinya will have a preliminary AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.07%, due to an adjustment for export subsidies found in the companion CV duty investigation.
Twenty-nine additional Chinese producers/exporters qualified for a separate AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.31%.
All other Chinese producers/exporters will be subject to the China-wide entity's preliminary AD duty cash deposit/bond rate of 59.31% (including Zhaoqing Asia Aluminum Factory Co. Ltd. (ZAA)).
Final Determination Scheduled for January 2011
The ITA is currently scheduled to make its final AD duty determination in January 2011.
