Commerce Modifies Import Duties on Belgian Plate
Written by Laura Miller
June 19, 2023
The US Department of Commerce’s International Trade Administration (ITA) is updating the antidumping duties on carbon and alloy cut-to-length steel plate imported from Belgium.
In an administrative review of the AD duties, the ITA is considering the one-year period ended April 30, 2022. In its preliminary ruling, the agency set the weighted-average dumping margin at 2.65% for Industeel Belgium SA, a subsidiary of ArcelorMittal, according to a recent Federal Register filing.
That dumping margin is slightly higher than Industeel’s final rate of 1.14% set in the prior year’s administrative review.
NLMK Belgium was found to have no shipments of the subject merchandise during the 2021-22 period of review.
The cash deposit rate for all other Belgian producers or exporters is unchanged at 5.4%.
These initial findings may differ from the ITA’s final results which will be issued later this year.
