On Tuesday, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping order on cut-to-length carbon steel plate from China
 
The review covered four Chinese producers/ exporters - Anshan Iron & Steel Group (Anshan); Bao/Baoshan International Trade Corp. / Bao Steel Metals Trading Corp. (Baoshan); Hunan Valin Xiangtan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (Hunan Valin); and China Metallurgical Import and Export Liaoning Company (Liaoning) - during the period from November 1, 2010 through October 31, 2011.
 
The DOC determined that Baoshan and Hunan Valin did not have any reviewable transactions during the period of review.  The current dumping duty deposit rates are 30.51 percent for Baoshan and 0.00 percent for Hunan Valin. 
 
The DOC determined that Anshan and Liaoning failed to establish their eligibility for separate rate status, which means that these companies will be assigned the China-wide dumping margin of 128.59 percent.  The previous dumping duty deposit rates were 30.68 percent for Anshan and 128.59 percent for Liaoning.   
 
Accordingly, effective December 11, 2012, the dumping duty deposit rate became 128.59 percent for Anshan and remained 128.59 percent for Liaoning, 30.51 percent for Baoshan, and 0.00 percent for Hunan Valin.
