Final results of AD review on SSSS imports from Taiwan
Upon the request of several petitioners* and one Taiwanese producer, the US Department of Commerce (DOC), on August 30, 2004, initiated an antidumping administrative review on
stainless steel sheet and strip imported from
Taiwan. The review covered sixteen Taiwanese producers/exporters during the period July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004.
The Department preliminarily decided to rescind the review with respect to seven producers that did not export the subject merchandise to the US during the period of review. The seven producers are Ta Chen
Stainless Pipe Co Ltd, Tung Mung Development Co. Ltd,
China Steel Corporation, Yieh Mau Corp, Chain Chon Industrial Co Ltd, Tang Eng Iron Works Company Ltd, and Yieh Loong Enterprise Company Ltd. Moreover, the DOC preliminarily rescinded the review with respect to three members of the Emerdex group of companies - Emerdex
Stainless Flat-Rolled Products Inc, Emerdex
Stainless Steel Inc, and the Emerdex Group - since these companies are not producers or exporters in
Taiwan.
For the remaining six producers, the preliminary weighted-average dumping margins were as follows:
Producer Margin
Yieh United Steel Corporation (YUSCO).......0.00 percent
Chia Far Industrial Factory Co Ltd..........1.37 percent
Goang Jau Shing Enterprise Co Ltd..........21.10 percent
PFP Taiwan Co Ltd..........................21.10 percent
Yieh Trading Corporation...................21.10 percent
Chien Shing Stainless Steel Company Ltd....21.10 percent
After analyzing the comments received, the DOC decided to make changes in the margin calculations. Accordingly, the final results differ from the preliminary results.
The final weighted-average dumping margins existing for the period July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2004 are as follows:
Producer Margin
Yieh United Steel Corporation (YUSCO).......0.00 percent
Chia Far Industrial Factory Co Ltd..........1.36 percent
Goang Jau Shing Enterprise Co Ltd..........21.10 percent
