China Copper Pipe: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on seamless refined copper pipe and tube from China (A-570-964). Commerce found all five exporters remaining under review -- China Hailiang Metal Trading, Shanghai Hailiang Metal Trading Limited, Hong Kong Hailiang Metal Trading Limited, Shanghai Hailiang Copper Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Hailiang Co., Ltd. -- did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them China-wide AD duty rate of 60.85%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise exported by these five companies and entered between Nov. 1, 2015, and Oct. 31, 2016. A 60.85% AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect Nov. 20 for subject merchandise exported by each of these five companies.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the five listed above), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies.

(The review period is 11/01/15 -- 10/31/16. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1708080026 for the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
