A domestic producer coalition seeks the imposition of new antidumping duties on brass rod from Brazil, India, Israel, Mexico, South Africa and South Korea, as well as new countervailing duties on brass rod from India, Israel and South Korea, it said in petitions filed with the Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission April 27. Commerce will now decide whether to begin AD/CVD investigations, which could result in the imposition of permanent AD/CVD orders and the assessment of AD and CVD on importers. The American Brass Rod Fair Trade Coalition is listed with Mueller Brass and Wieland Chase as petitioners, but the filing also shows that the coalition consists of Mueller Brass and Wieland Chase, the only two major producers remaining in the U.S.

The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China (A-570-914). The agency assigned the only company under review, Hangzhou Ailong Metal Product Co., Ltd., to the China-wide entity, with an AD rate of 255.07%, after the agency said it did not receive a separate rate application from Ailong. If these preliminary results are adopted unchanged, Commerce will in its final results assess AD at that 255.07% rate for importers of subject merchandise from Ailong entered Aug. 1, 2021, through July 31, 2022. A cash deposit rate of 255.07% would take effect for Ailong upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
The Commerce Department is giving advance notice that in automatic five-year sunset reviews scheduled to begin in June it will consider revoking the antidumping duty orders on activated carbon from China (A-570-904); folding gift boxes from China (A-570-866); tin mill products from Japan (A-588-854); and citric acid from Belgium (A-423-813), Colombia (A-301-803) and Thailand (A-549-833). These orders will be revoked, or the investigations terminated, unless Commerce finds that revocation would lead to dumping and the International Trade Commission finds that revocation would result in injury to U.S. industry, Commerce said.
