Petitioners Oppose Attempt at ADD Suspension Agreement on Ukraine Seamless Pipe
April 29, 2021 |AD/CVD

Petitioners in an antidumping duty investigation of seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from Ukraine recently filed briefs opposing a Ukrainian exporter’s proposal to negotiate a suspension agreement in the ongoing investigation. Tenaris USA, a domestic manufacturer that supports the petition, says a suspension agreement proposed by Interpipe “will not be effective, and that an antidumping duty order would better discipline Interpipe’s dumping of SSLPP in the United States,” in a filing April 27 with the Commerce Department.

Petitioners for Raw Honey AD Duties Seek Scope Change to Define Unfiltered
April 29, 2021 |AD/CVD

Filers of a recent petition for antidumping duties on raw honey Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine and Vietnam told the Commerce Department April 23 that the scope of the proposed investigations should be amended to set specific criteria for the filtering out of pollen. The scope clarification, filed by the American Honey Producers Association and the Sioux Honey Association, says “raw honey” is typically unfiltered, as opposed to processed honey that has been filtered to remove pollen, wax and other impurities. While the scope in the petition said that “raw honey has not been filtered to a level that results in the removal of most or all of the pollen,” the petitioners now propose to add the phrase, “e.g., a level that removes pollen to below 25 microns,” to the end of that statement. They say 25 microns is the average size of pollen filtered out by honey packers. “Honey that tests for particulates, including pollen 25 micron or more, remains raw honey for purposes of this investigation,” they said.

Commerce Issues AD Order on Czech Seamless Pipe
April 26, 2021 |AD/CVD

The Commerce Department on April 23 released an antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipe from the Czech Republic (A-851-804). AD duty rates were unchanged from Commerce’s final determinations, ranging from 51.07% to 51.7%. The 51.7% rate for both mandatory respondents was based on adverse facts available because of the mandatory respondents’ lack of participation, and the all-others rate based on a simple average of the dumping margins alleged in the petition. The order details a short three-day gap period, with the provisional measures period running four months from the Dec. 21 AD duty preliminary determination (unextended to six months). The International Trade Commission also published its final injury determination April 23.
