China Carbon Steel Plate: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China (A-570-849) (here). The agency preliminarily found Zhengzhou Shangdao Iron & Steel Co. did not prove independence from state control, and tentatively assigned it to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 128.59%. Commerce also preliminarily found Hunan Valin Xiangtan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd. had no exports of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period under review. If Commerce's "no shipments" finding for Hunan Valin is continued in the final results, the company's AD duty rate won't change as a result of this review.

These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the China-wide rate of 128.59%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in March.
(The period of review is 11/01/12 -- 10/31/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
