The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has made its preliminary determination in the first administrative review of the antidumping order against light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China.
The review covers the Sun Group Inc. during the period from January 20, 2008 through July 31, 2009.
The DOC has calculated a final weighted-average dumping margin of 27.12 percent for Sun Group.
This final margin compares with the preliminary margin of 219.50 percent and the previous dumping duty deposit rate of 264.64 percent (the China-wide rate).
The DOC's final determination will be published in tomorrow's Federal Register. Accordingly, effective September 21, 2010, the dumping duty deposit rate for Sun Group will become 27.12 percent.
There is also a countervailing duty order against light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from China. The "all others" deposit rate is 15.28 percent.
