High-strength “Unilloy” copper alloy tubes manufactured by Luvata Tube (Zhongshan) Ltd. are not made of refined copper, and so aren’t subject to antidumping duties on seamless refined copper pipe and tube from China (A-570-964), said the Commerce Department in a Sept. 16 final scope ruling. Despite meeting dimensional requirements set forth in the scope, the tubes contain under 99.85% copper and over 0.3% nickel. That runs contrary to the scope’s definition of refined copper, Commerce said. With the question of AD duty coverage decided by the plain language of the scope, Commerce found it unnecessary to look to other factors, and ruled that the Unilloy tubes are outside of the scope of the AD duty order on seamless copper pipe and tube from China.

The Commerce Department is beginning antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on chlorinated isocyanurates from Japan and China, respectively, according to a Sept. 19 fact sheet released by the agency. Clearon Corp. and Occidental Chemical requested the investigations Aug. 29, alleging dumped and illegally-subsidized imports of the pool cleaning chemical from Japan and China are undercutting prices and hurting industry profits (see 13090320). CV duties against Chinese imports would come on top of an existing AD duty order issued in 2005.

The Commerce Department issued its final affirmative countervailing duty determination on hardwood and decorative plywood from China (C-570-987). Although this final determination takes effect Sept. 23, Commerce will only require CV cash deposits of estimated CV duties if it issues a CV order.
