China Non-Malleable Pipe Fittings: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on non-malleable cast iron pipe fittings from China (A-570-875) (here). The agency preliminarily found Overseas Industrial Corporation (OIC) did not prove independence from state control, and tentatively assigned it to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of 75.5%. If Commerce adopts this finding in its final results, it will set ITC's cash deposit rate at 75.5% (effective on the publication date of the final results), and also liquidate any subject merchandise from OIC entered April 2013 through March 2014 at that rate.

These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. 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 75.5%. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in May.
(The period of review is 04/01/13 -- 03/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
