China Drill Pipe: Commerce Ends AD/CV Duties

The Commerce Department is revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on drill pipe from China (A-570-965/C-570-966) (here), following the International Trade Commission’s finding of no injury to domestic industry after a court-ordered remand (see 1412170023). The Court of International Trade had in 2013 told the ITC to consider its original injury finding in 2011 upon which the AD/CVD orders on drill pipe were based (see 14022603). Commerce will direct CBP to refund any cash deposits collected on drill pipe from China, but will continue suspension of liquidation until the appeals process is complete. The revocation is effective Nov. 20.
