Commerce adjusts AD/CVDs on various steel products
Written by Laura Miller
The Commerce Department’s International Trade Administration (ITA) recently concluded several annual administrative reviews of the anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVDs) on various steel imports. The reviews resulted in the following duty adjustments.
Hot rolled from Korea
ITA reviewed the ADs on hot-rolled steel flat products from Korea, considering the period Oct. 1, 2023, through Sept. 30, 2024.
Hyundai Steel’s rate for that period was set at 1.49%, up from 0.89% in the previous review. Posco’s new rate of 1.22% was lowered from 2.27% previously.
Coated steel from Taiwan
In a review of the AD on corrosion-resistant (CORE) steel from Taiwan, the agency determined a 0% weighted-average dumping margin for two companies, Sheng Yu Steel Co. and Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co.. Another company, Great Grandeul Steel Co. (Samoa) received a dumping rate of 0.99% for the year ending June 30, 2024.
The rates were unchanged from the previous review, except for Prosperity Tieh’s 0%, which was down from 0.99% previously.
Coated from Korea
Coated products from Korea will receive a break from anti-dumping duties for the year ended June 30, 2024.
ITA found a 0% weighted-average dumping margin for 10 Korean companies, including Dongbu, Dongkuk, Hyundai, KG Steel, Posco, and SeAH. While Hyundai’s rate remains unchanged, the other companies’ rates are down from 1.99% in the year prior.
Plate from Belgium
The ITA also completed a review of the AD order on cut-to-length plate from Belgium, finding a higher dumping rate for the one company reviewed.
Industeel Belgium received a dumping margin of 5.78% for the one-year period ended April 30, 2024. That rate is up from 2.52% previously.
Plate from Korea
Posco received a higher subsidy rate for cut-to-length plate. ITA set its subsidy rate at 3.70% for calendar year 2023, up from 1.47% in 2022.
Standard pipe from Turkey
ITA found a higher dumping rate for the Borusan group of companies in a review of the AD order on circular welded carbon steel standard pipe and tube from Turkey. The review covered the year ended April 30, 2024.
For Borusan Mannesmann Boru, Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari, and Borusan Istikbal, ITA set dumping margins at 9.31%, notably higher than the 2.75% rates found in the previous review.
Large OD pipe from Korea
In a review of CVDs on large diameter welded pipe from Korea, ITA found slightly different rates for the 2023 calendar year vs. 2022.
Hyundai RB’s rate was adjusted to 0.79% from 0.71% previously. A handful of other companies received the same 0.79% rate, while SeAH Steel’s rate was lowered to 0.41% de minimis from 0.54% previously.
Duties are not collected on de minimis rates.
