SeAH Steel Corporation, Korea Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., and Union Steel Co., Ltd., Suffer 600%+ Increase in Antidumping Duty Rate in Preliminary Antidumping Duty Rate in Review Affecting November 1, 2007, through October 31, 2008 entries. On December 8, 2009, the U.S. Department of Commerce published the Preliminary Results of its antidumping duty administrative review of circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Korea. The Department of Commerce determined that SeAH Steel Corporation, Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd., Korea Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., Union Steel Co., Ltd., Nexteel Co., Ltd., AJU Besteel Co., Ltd., were dumping circular welded non-alloy steel pipe in the United States. The Department of Commerce calculated rates of 4.42% for SeAH Steel Corporation, the sole mandatory respondent, and applied that rate to all other companies for which a review was requested. In the previous review, SeAH had a rate of 0.66%, and both Union Steel and Korea Iron & Steel had rates of 0.71%. IMPORTERS! -- If the Final Results do not change, you will be liable for a 600%+ increase in import duty liability -- plus interest! You can assert your rights to participate in this review and challenge the determinations by the Department of Commerce in reaching the 4.42% rate. Contact a U.S. international trade lawyer for assistance. Watch the liquidation instructions and liquidations carefully. If there are any errors in the instructions, you must sue the Department of Commerce within 2 years. If the U.S. Customs and Border Protection does not liquidate your entries within 6 months of publication of the final, by law the merchandise liquidates as entered. In this case, that would mean you would not be liable for the 600%+ increase in import duties.
