Commerce Amends HR Dumping Duties for Australia, Korea and Turkey
Written by Sandy Williams
The Department of Commerce announced adjustment to the antidumping duties assigned to Australia, Korea and Turkey in the hot rolled steel investigation.
Regarding the Australia AD orders, Commerce agreed with the Petitioners that there were two ministerial errors. The Department failed to fully adjust BlueScope Steel’s normal value for processing revenue and freight revenue. It, therefore, increased BlueScope’s weighted-average dumping margin from 29.37 to 29.58. Because the “all others” margin is based solely on BlueScope’s margin, the “all others” margin was increased to 29.58.
