EU issues definitive AD duty on tube and pipe fittings from three countries
The European Commission has announced the imposition of a definitive antidumping (AD) duty on imports of certain tube and pipe fittings from South Korea, Malaysia and Russia, following an expiry review. The review covered the period from April 1, 2023, to March 31, 2024.
The EC concluded that tube and pipe fittings from the countries in question were sold at dumped prices and that the expiry of the measures on the products would likely to lead to the recurrence of dumping. The definitive antidumping duty rates are at 32.4 percent for TK Corporation and 44.0 percent for other South Korean companies, 59.2 percent for Anggerik Laksana, 49.9 percent for Pantech Steel Industries and 75.0 percent for other Malaysian companies, and 23.8 percent for all Russian companies.
The products fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 7307 93 11 91, 7307 93 11 93, 7307 93 11 94, 7307 93 11 95, 7307 93 11 99, 7307 93 19 91, 7307 93 19 93, 7307 93 19 94, 7307 93 19 95, 7307 93 19 99, 7307 99 80 92, 7307 99 80 93, 7307 99 80 94, 7307 99 80 95, and 7307 99 80 98.
US extends rebar AD order on 7 nations, including Poland and Latvia
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has ruled that antidumping duties on imports of rebar from seven nations should not be removed, Kallanish discovers in a federal document.
“Revocation of the antidumping duty orders on rebar from Belarus, China, Indonesia, Latvia, Moldova, Poland and Ukraine would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably foreseeable time,” the ITC writes in a notice circulated Thursday.
The latest determination is a result of a fourth round of five-year sunset reviews.
After the prior review in 2018, the Department of Commerce issued average dumping margins of 114.53% for Belarus, 133% for China, 71.01% for Indonesia, 16.99% for Latvia, 232.86% for Moldova, 52.07% for Poland and 41.69% for Ukraine. Commerce’s case originated in 2001.
The AD order includes all steel concrete reinforcing bars sold in straight lengths. Excluded are plain round bars and processed rebar that has been bent or coated.
