AK Steel wins trade cases on nonoriented electrical steel
- November 7, 2014
- News Release
- Metals/Materials
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has determined that the domestic industry producing nonoriented electrical steel (NOES) is materially injured by reason of dumped and subsidized imports from six countries. The final injury determination means that antidumping orders will be imposed against imports from all six countries, and countervailing duty orders will be imposed against imports from China and Taiwan.
NOES is an alloy steel that contains by weight more than 1.0 percent but less than 3.5 percent of silicon and not more than 0.08 percent of carbon or 1.5 percent of aluminum. With a surface oxide coating to which an insulation coating may be applied, it is used primarily in the production of motors and generators.
AK Steel Corp., West Chester, Ohio, filed petitions on Sept. 30, 2013, charging that unfairly traded imports of NOES from China, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Sweden, and Taiwan were causing material injury to the domestic industry. On Oct. 7, 2014, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced its final affirmative determinations that imports of NOES were dumped from all six countries and that imports from China and Taiwan also were subsidized.
As a result of the ITC's final affirmative determination, the Commerce Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to require U.S. importers of NOES from these six countries to deposit estimated antidumping duties at the time of importation:
- China - 407.52 percent
- Germany - 86.29 to 98.84 percent
- Japan - 135.59 to 204.79 percent
- South Korea - 6.88 percent
- Sweden - 98.46 to 126.72 percent
- Taiwan - 27.54 to 52.23 percent
In addition, the Commerce Department will instruct CBP to continue to require U.S. importers of NOES from China and Taiwan to deposit estimated countervailing duties at the time of importation of 158.88 percent for China and 8.80 to 17.12 percent for Taiwan.
