China OCTG: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on oil country tubular goods from China (A-570-943). Commerce found all four companies under review -- Baoshan Iron & Steel; Hengyang Steel Tube Group International Trading Inc.; Hubei Xinyegang Steel Co., Ltd.; and Hubei Xin Yegang Special Tube -- did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them the China-wide AD duty rate of 99.14%. Commerce will assess AD duties at this rate on subject merchandise from these four companies between May 1, 2017, and April 30, 2018. A 99.14% AD duty cash deposit rate for these four companies takes effect for each company on July 5.

For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except the four companies 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 05/01/17 - 04/30/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1903140046 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
