China Copper Pipe: Amended Final Results Drops Golden Dragon's AD Rate

The Commerce Department is amending the final results of an administrative review on seamless refined copper pipe and tube from China (A-570-964) in order to slightly decrease the antidumping duty rate it assigned to Golden Dragon in April. Commerce says it made a technical error when it calculated Golden Dragon’s AD duty rate in the final results (see 14042510). Correcting that error drops Golden Dragon’s rate to 4.48% (from 4.5%). Commerce says it still intends to assess AD duties on importers of subject merchandise from Golden Dragon entered Nov. 1, 2011 through Oct. 31, 2012 at importer-specific rates. The change in Golden Dragon’s AD duty cash deposit rate is effective April 28, said Commerce.
