Nippon Steel Seeks Lower Dumping Rates on HR Steel

The US Department of Commerce recently recalculated the dumping margins for hot-rolled steel flat imports from Japan’s Nippon Steel. And while Nippon supports the remand results, it has also filed comments with the US Court of International Trade (CIT) regarding two additional complaints.

On the remand order of the CIT, Commerce recalculated Nippon’s dumping rate for the 2018–2019 administrative review. Having previously determined an 11.7% dumping margin, the Department adjusted the rate to 10.12% after taking embossing, slitting, and cutting-to-length revenues into account.
