The International Trade Administration published notices in the Dec. 6 Federal Register on the following AD/CV proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on sodium hexametaphosphate from China (A-570-908). The ITA preliminarily found that all companies reviewed either did not have any shipments to the U.S. during the period of review, and/or did not qualify for separate rate treatment, so the ITA did not individually review any companies in its preliminary results. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip from the United Arab Emirates (A-520-803) for two companies, JBF RAK LLC, and FLEX Middle East FZE. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Korea (A-580-809) for two companies, Husteel and Hyundai HYSCO. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils from Belgium (A-423-808) for Aperam Stainless Belgium N.V. The ITA's final AD rate for Aperam is 0.82 percent, well below the preliminary rate of 10.46 percent. This rate was lower despite the ITA's finding of targeted dumping and use of an average-to-transaction methodology. The new rate is effective Dec. 7, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
The International Trade Administration issued a countervailing order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China (C-570-980). The order details a "gap period" of July 24 -- Dec. 5 of no CV duty liability due to the expiration of the provisional measures period. Also, CV cash deposits collected between Dec. 27, 2011 and March 25, 2012 will be refunded because of the International Trade Commission's determination of no critical circumstances.
The International Trade Administration issued an amended final determination and antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China (A-570-979), which amends AD rates for 74 exporter/producer combinations. The order also details a "gap period" of Nov. 22 - Dec. 5 of no AD duty liability due to the expiration of the provisional measures period, and says that AD cash deposits and bonds collected between Feb. 25 and May 24 because of the ITA's critical circumstances determination will be refunded.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from China (A-570-836) for one company, the Baoding Mantong Fine Chemistry Co. Because of Baoding Mantong's alleged lack of cooperation, the ITA used adverse facts available (AFA) to assign it the China-wide entity AD rate. The ITA also preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to 25 other companies1 named in the initiation of this review because of withdrawal of requests for review. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Turkey (A-489-501), which sets an AD cash deposit rate for four companies. As in the preliminary results of this review, the ITA found that Erbosan1 and Yucel2 had no shipments to the U.S., and said it will liquidate entries of merchandise produced and/or exported by these two companies at the all others rate. The ITA also continued to find a zero AD rate for Toscelik, but changed Borusan's preliminary AD rate. These rates are effective Dec. 6, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on narrow woven ribbons with woven selvedge from Taiwan (A-583-844). As in the preliminary results, the ITA assigned mandatory respondent Hubschercorp an adverse facts available rate of 137.2 percent for its alleged lack of cooperation. The new rate is effective Dec. 6, and will be implemented by CBP soon..
