The US International Trade Commission (ITC) finds that revoking countervailing and antidumping duty orders on steel wire rod from China would likely cause material injury to the US industry, Kallanish discovers from a federal document.
The ITC conducted an expedited five-year review on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China to determine if revoking current antidumping and countervailing duty orders would lead to material injury. Responses submitted by Charter Steel, Commercial Metals Co, Liberty Steel USA, Nucor Steel and Optimus Steel were deemed individually adequate (see Kallanish 24 September).
In a separate announcement, the US Department of Commerce issued results of an expedited second sunset review of countervailing duties on carbon and certain alloy wire rod from China. The department similarly rules that revocation would likely result in the continuation of subsidies. CVD levies continue, with Benxi Steel assigned a subsidy rate of 193.31%. Hebei Iron & Steel Co Tangshan Branch has a continuing rate of 179.46%. All others are at 185.89% (see Kallanish 26 August).
Steel wire rod imports to the US subject to the results of this investigation are classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under the subheadings 7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093, 7213.91.4500, 7213.91.6000, 7213.99.0030, 7227.20.0030, 7227.20.0080, 7227.90.6010, 7227.90.6020, 7227.90.6030 and 7227.90.6035.
