The International Trade Administration is announcing the opportunity to request administrative reviews by May 31, 2012, for producers and exporters subject to 28 antidumping orders and 5 countervailing duty orders with May anniversary dates. Affected products include ball bearings, stainless steel plate in coils, citric acid, etc.
The International Trade Administration published notices in the June 1 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 and the International Trade Commission each issued notices initiating a five-year Sunset Review of the antidumping duty order on solid agricultural grade ammonium nitrate from Ukraine (A-823-810) (second review).
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on tapered roller bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished from China (A-570-601), which lists a proposed estimated cash deposit rate of zero for GGB Bearing Technology (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. as exporter/producer.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the Suspension Agreement on hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products from Russia (A-821-809), which said the Agreement is no longer meeting its statutory requirements because Russian exports of subject merchandise are undercutting U.S. prices. These preliminary results are not in effect. If they do not change in the final results, and no agreement is reached with Russia to modify the Agreement, the ITA will terminate the Agreement and suspend liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 90 days prior to the date of termination of the Agreement.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel plate in coils (A-423-808) for one company, Aperam Stainless Belgium N.V., which the ITA found to be the successor-in-interest to Arcelor Mittal Stainless Belgium N.V. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (A-489-501) for four companies. Two of the companies, Erbosan1 and Yucel2, had no reviewable sales during the period of review, but the ITA declined to rescind and will instead complete the review with respect to these companies. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on some polyester staple fiber from Taiwan (A-583-833) for one company, finding an AD rate of zero for Far Eastern New Century Corporation. Additionally, the ITA rescinded this review with respect to Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, for which the request for review was withdrawn. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain lined paper products from China (A-570-901) for two companies, Shanghai Lian Li Paper Products Co. and Leo’s Quality Products Co., Denmax Plastic Stationery Factory. The ITA preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to Lian Li as a result of no shipments during the period of review. Furthermore, the ITA said that, as respondent Leo / Denmax did not cooperate with its requests in this review, Leo / Denmax has preliminarily been assigned the China-wide Entity rate. These preliminary results are not in effect. The ITA may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for this company.
The International Trade Administration made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from India (A-533-852) manufactured by Zenith Birla (India) Limited is being, or is likely to be, sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. The ITA found a preliminary AD rate of 48.43% for Zenith Birla, the only respondent in this investigation. The ITA will instruct CBP to suspend liquidation, and require a cash deposit or bond posting at an AD rate of 48.43%, for entries of subject merchandise by Zenith from India that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 1, 2012. U.S. Customs is expected to implement these AD cash deposit/bond requirements soon.
