As a result of the final AD duty determination, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect a cash deposit or bond based on the final AD duty rates below. Should the International Trade Commission issue a final affirmative injury determination, the ITA will also instruct CBP to collect a cash deposit based on the final CV duty rate below.
Final AD Rates Range from 136.76% to 145.18%
In the AD investigation, the ITA has found that Chinese producers/exporters have sold certain steel grating in the U.S. at 136.76% to 145.18% less than normal value.
Mandatory respondents Ningbo Jiulong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd./Ningbo Zhenhai Jiulong Electronic Equipment Factory and Shanghai DAHE Grating Co., Ltd. were determined to be part of the China-wide entity. As a result, the ITA has assigned both respondents an AD duty rate of 145.18% as part of the China-wide entity.
Three other companies qualified for a separate rate of 136.76%. All other Chinese producers/exporters will receive a China-wide AD duty rate of 145.18%.
Final CV Rate of 62.46%
In the CV investigation, the ITA has determined that Chinese producers/exporters of certain steel grating have received net countervailable subsidies of 62.46%.
Mandatory respondent Ningbo Jiulong Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. will receive the all others rate of 62.46%.
ITC to Issue Final Injury Determinations in July 2010
The ITC is scheduled to issue its final injury determinations on or about July 2010. If the ITC makes affirmative determinations that imports of steel grating from China materially injure, or threaten material injury to, the domestic industry, the ITA will issue AD and CV duty orders.
(See ITT’s Online Archives or 01/06/10 and 11/03/09 news, 10010660 and 09110335, for BP summaries of the preliminary AD and CV duty determinations.)
