The International Trade Administration is publishing notices in the March 30 Federal Register on the following AD/CV proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, the scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative countervailing duty determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to exporter/manufacturers of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from India (C-533-853). The ITA found a preliminary CV rate 285.95%1, which is effective on March 30, 2012. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is expected to implement these CV cash deposit/bond requirements soon.
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary negative countervailing duty determination that countervailable subsidies are not being provided to producers and exporters of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the United Arab Emirates (C-520-806). The ITA found preliminary CV rates of zero for all exporter/manufacturers. As such, ITA will not direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of entries of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the UAE, and there will be no CV cash deposit or bond requirements.
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative countervailing duty determination that countervailable subsidies are being provided to exporter/manufacturers of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Vietnam (C-552-810). The ITA found preliminary CV rates of de minimis to 8.06%, which are effective on March 30, 2012. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is expected to implement these CV cash deposit/bond requirements soon.
The Court of International Trade denied a motion by two Korean producer/exporters to amend a preliminary injunction against liquidation of entries of merchandise subject to the revoked antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from Korea in order to permit liquidation of subject merchandise entered on or after the effective date of revocation of the order. In the same opinion, the CIT also allowed the domestic plaintiffs (Diamond Sawblades Manufacturing Coalition) to amend their complaint in the case, as the ITA’s final section 129 determination for diamond sawblades from Korea altered the effect of the results of the AD final determination at issue in the litigation.
The International Trade Administration is publishing notices in the March 29 Federal Register on the following AD/CV proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, the scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
In its first step toward implementing the WTO's findings in three zeroing disputes, the International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its section 129 proceedings to recalculate, pursuant to the USTR's instructions, the antidumping cash deposit rates currently in effect for certain companies whose merchandise is subject to 8 AD duty orders on certain products originating from the European Union and Japan. The ITA has preliminarily found AD cash deposit rates of zero for 25 companies, and found reduced AD rates for 7 companies (one company’s rate is unchanged1). These preliminary AD cash deposit rates are not in effect.

The International Trade Administration announced its affirmative preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty investigations of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from India and Vietnam, and negative preliminary determinations in the CV duty investigations of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman and the United Arab Emirates. According to the ITA’s fact sheet, producers/exporters of subject merchandise from (1) India and (2) Vietnam received preliminary CV rates of (1) 285.95%, and (2) de minimis to 8.06%, respectively. As a result of the preliminary affirmative determinations for India and Vietnam, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect a cash deposit or bond based on these preliminary CV rates. Because of the negative preliminary determinations, no cash deposit or bond will be required for imports from Oman and the UAE.
