Russia Ferrovanadium: Final Negative AD Circumvention Determination
Imports from Russia of vanadium pentoxide produced by the Evraz Group, which are converted into ferrovanadium in the U.S. by Bear Metallurgical Corporation, are not circumventing the antidumping duty order on ferrovanadium and nitrided vanadium from Russia (A-821-807), the International Trade Administration said in the negative final determination of an anti-circumvention inquiry. The ITA said the toll-conversion process in the U.S. is not minor or insignificant. The merchandise will therefore not be included in the scope of the AD order.
