The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced Thursday the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping (AD) order on cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from Korea.
The review covered six Korean producers/exporters during the period from February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013.
The DOC calculated a final dumping margin of 4.64 percent for Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd., the only company which was subject to individual examination during this review.
In addition, the DOC assigned the same dumping margin--4.64 percent--to the five other companies that requested reviews but were not individually reviewed. They are Edgen Murray Corporation; Kyoungil Co., Ltd.; Samsung C&T Corp.; Samwoo EMC Co., Ltd.; and TCC Steel Corp.
Accordingly, effective September 11, 2014, the dumping duty deposit rates became 4.64 percent for Dongkuk, Edgen Murray, Kyoungil, Samsung C&T, and Samwoo EMC, and TCC Steel. In addition, the DOC will send instructions to US Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries that were made during the period of review.
