On Monday, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping (AD) order on hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from China.
The review covers Baosteel Group Corporation, Baoshan Iron & Steel Co. Ltd., and Shanghai Baosteel International Economic & Trading Co. Ltd. (Baosteel) during the period from November 1, 2011 through October 31, 2012.
The DOC has preliminarily determined that Baosteel had no reviewable transactions during the period of review. Baosteel currently has a dumping duty deposit rate of 12.39 percent.
The DOC plans to complete this review by November 2013, and the current dumping duty deposit rate will remain in effect until the DOC's final results are published in the Federal Register.
