The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 15 said the scope of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand unambiguously includes dual-stenciled pipe, reversing the Court of International Trade's decision.
The Commerce Department is beginning two new sets of antidumping and countervailing duty investigations, one on solar cells from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, and the other on alkyl phosphate esters from China, it said in a pair of fact sheets May 15 and 14, respectively. The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determinations by June 7 for alkyl phosphate esters, and June 10 for solar cells. These AD/CVD investigations will continue only if the ITC finds injury. International Trade Today will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notices in the Federal Register.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 15 said the scope of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand unambiguously includes dual-stenciled pipe, reversing the Court of International Trade's decision.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on May 15 reversed a Court of International Trade decision sustaining the exclusion of dual-stenciled pipe from the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand. The AD order's scope language included standard pipe but excluded line pipe, and exporter Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co.'s dual-stenciled pipes fit the industry specifications for both line and standard pipe. CAFC Judges Alan Lourie and Jimmie Reyna said that meeting an additional specification doesn't "strip away the qualification of these pipes as standard pipes." The majority added that the (k)(1) materials support the inclusion of dual-stenciled pipes under the order's scope. Judge Raymond Chen dissented, finding that the plain scope language is ambiguous as to whether it includes dual-stenciled pipe, and saying that the (k)(1) factors support exclusion of the dual-stenciled pipe.

The Commerce Department began administrative reviews for certain firms subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders with March anniversary dates, it said in a notice May 8. Producers and exporters subject to any of these administrative reviews on China or Vietnam must submit their separate rate certifications or applications by June 7 in order to avoid being assigned high China-wide or Vietnam-wide rates.
