Partial revocation on certain Japanese tin mill products
In order to be effective from July 1, 2002 the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced that anti-dumping duties for certain tin mill products from
Japan are revoked due to changed circumstances.
On August 28, 2000 the DOC published anti-dumping duty order on certain tin mill product from
Japan. However, a US importer, Okaya (U.S.A) Inc. made a request of a partial revocation of the order applied retroactively for all unliquidated entries. The specifically requested product to be excluded has the following specifications:
Steel
coated with a metallic chromium layer between 100-200mg/m² and a chromium oxide layer between 5-30 mg/m², chemical composition of 0.05% maximum carbon, 0.03% maximum silicon, 0.60% maximum manganese, 0.02% maximum phosphorous and 0.02% maximum sulfur, magnetic flux density (“Br”) of 10 kg minimum and a coercive force (“Hc”) of 3.8Oe minimum.
Having received no objection from Weirton Steel, the only petitioner for the underlying investigation DOC initiated a changed circumstances review. No domestic tin mill producer opposed to this partial revocation and the DOC announced their final results that they have decided on a partial revocation of anti-dumping duty order on certain tin mill products from
Japan effective August 1, 2001, with respect to all unliquidated entries for
consumption of tin-free steel which meets the specifications stated above.
