The US Department of Commerce (DoC) has announced the preliminary results of the antidumping duty investigations launched into tin mill products imported from Canada, China, Germany, South Korea, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey and the UK.
Accordingly, the DoC has determined that tin mill products from South Korea, the Netherlands, Taiwan, Turkey and the UK were not sold at less than normal value, while the same products from China, Canada and Germany were unfairly traded.
The DoC has determined dumping margin of zero percent for KG Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd. and TCC Steel Corp, Tata Steel IJmuiden BV, Ton Yi Industrial Corporation, Tosyali Toyo Celik A.S.; Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S. and Tata Steel UK Ltd, while it has calculated dumping margin of 5.29 percent for ArcelorMittal Dofasco G.P., 122.52 percent for Chinese companies, and 7.02 percent for thyssenkrupp Rasselstein GmbH.
As SteelOrbis reported earlier this year, the DoC had launched an investigation after Cleveland-Cliffs and the United Steelworkers (USW) union filed a complaint.
