Dear Sirs,
Commercial Information Circular No. 243/2016
US : Anti-dumping Action against Certain Cold-Rolled Steel Flat Products from the Mainland of China : Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less than Fair Value
The US Department of Commerce (DoC) announced in the Federal Register (FR) notice of 7 March 2016 its preliminary determination that certain cold-rolled steel flat products from the Mainland of China were being, or were likely to be, sold in the US at less than fair value. The weighted-average dumping margin was found to be 265.79%. The FR notice is available at: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-03-07/pdf/2016-05001.pdf.
2.On 12 February 2016, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) published its preliminary determination that there was a reasonable indication that an industry in the US was materially injured by reason of imports of certain cold-rolled steel flat products from the Mainland of China. If the final determination of the DoC is affirmative, the ITC will make its final determination on whether the domestic industry in the US is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of the subject imports within 45 days after the DoC's final determination.
