Light-Walled
Rectangular Pipe and Tube
|
C-570-915
|
The International Trade
Administration has amended its preliminary countervailing duty determination on
light-walled rectangular pipe and tube (LWRP) from China in order to correct a
significant ministerial error with respect to the CV duty rate calculation for
Zhangjiagang Zhongyuan Pipe-making Co., Ltd. (ZZPC).
This correction also affects the
CV duty rates established for Qingdao Xiangxing Steel Pipe Co. and the
all-others rate. (The preliminary CV duty rate for Kunshan Lets Win Steel
Machinery Co., Ltd. (Lets Win) remains unchanged at 0.27%.)
ZZPC Liquidation No Longer Suspended, Cash Deposit/Bond No Longer
Required
The ITA states that the
collection of bonds and cash deposits will be revised as indicated below. It will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue to suspend liquidation
of all entries of LWRP from China on or after December 27, 2007; however,
neither the suspension of liquidation nor the requirement for a cash deposit or
bond will apply to merchandise produced and exported by Lets Win or ZZPC
because the ITA has preliminarily determined that Lets Win and ZZPC received de minimis subsidies.

(a) The ITA has determined de minimis preliminary CV duty rates for
Lets Win (0.27%) and ZZPC (0.90%).
1The ITA previously
stated that because they are cross-owned and because Group is the parent
company of ZZPC, the ITA preliminarily determined that any subsidies bestowed
on Group are properly attributed to Group's consolidated sales.
