The International Trade Administration published notices in the Oct. 19 Federal Register on the following AD/CV proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The International Trade Administration issued the final results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on solid urea from Russia (A-821-801), which sets an AD cash deposit rate of zero for MCC EuroChem. As a result, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate entries exported by MCC EuroChem without regard to AD duties. The rate is effective Oct. 22.
The International Trade Administration issued its final affirmative countervailing duty determination on circular welded pipe from India (C-533-853), which continues to find a CV rate of 285.95 percent for all Indian exporters. Although this final determination takes effect Oct. 22, the ITA will only require CV cash deposits of estimated CV duties if it issues a CV order.
The International Trade Administration continued to find a 48.43 percent AD rate for Zenith Birla (India) Limited1 in its final determination in the investigation of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from India (A-533-852). But according to the ITA fact sheet that announced this final determination, the ITA found CV duties for Zenith to be so high that, adjusting for export subsidies, Zenith’s AD cash deposit rate will be zero. All other exporters of subject merchandise were excluded from this investigation, so it only applies to Zenith Birla.
The International Trade Administration issued its final affirmative countervailing duty determination on circular welded pipe from Oman (C-523-802), which found a CV rate of 4.13 percent for all Omani exporters. The ITA had found no countervailable subsidization in its preliminary determination. Suspension of liquidation for CV purposes and collection of CV cash deposits/bonds will begin Oct. 22.
The International Trade Administration continued to find dumped imports in its final antidumping duty determination on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Oman (A-523-801). AD rates rose slightly from the preliminary determination. If the International Trade Commission finds injury to U.S. industry, the ITA will issue an AD duty order. The ITA’s final determination is effective Oct. 22.
The International Trade Administration issued its final affirmative countervailing duty determination on circular welded pipe from the United Arab Emirates (C-520-806), which found CV rates of 2.06 to 6.17 percent for UAE exporters. The ITA had found no countervailable subsidization in its preliminary determination. Suspension of liquidation for CV purposes and collection of CV cash deposits/bonds will begin Oct. 22.
The International Trade Administration continued to find dumped imports in its final antidumping duty determination on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from the United Arab Emirates (A-520-805). AD rates rose slightly from the preliminary determination for most companies. If the International Trade Commission finds injury to U.S. industry, the ITA will issue an AD duty order. The ITA’s final determination is effective Oct. 22.
The International Trade Administration found no countervailable subsidies for exporters of circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Vietnam (C-533-853) in its final determination, and so will refund CV cash deposits and release CV duty bonds that were posted following the ITA’s March 30 preliminary determination. The preliminary determination had found CV rates of zero to 8.06 percent for exporters of subject merchandise. As a result of this negative final determination, the ITA is terminating this CV duty investigation.
The International Trade Administration continued to find dumped imports in its final antidumping duty determination on circular welded carbon-quality steel pipe from Vietnam (A-552-811). AD rates rose slightly from the preliminary determination for most companies. If the International Trade Commission finds injury to U.S. industry, the ITA will issue an AD duty order. The ITA’s final determination is effective Oct. 22.
