PrintXinhua reported that US Department of Commerce on Wednesday announced its affirmative final determination in duty investigations against drawn stainless steel sinks from China. The move increases the possibility of imposing punitive duties on the products.
The US Commerce claimed that Chinese producers and exporters sold drawn stainless steel sinks in the US market at dumping margins ranging from 27.14% to 76.53%. It also alleged that Chinese producers and exporters received countervailable subsidies of 4.8% to 12.26%.
Imports of drawn stainless sinks from China were valued at an estimated USD 118 million in 2011, according to the US government.
The US International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its final determination on or before April 5, 2013.
If the result affirms that the products cause material injury or threat to the US industry, the US Commerce will issue antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders. If the ITC makes a negative determination, the investigations will be terminated.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has repeatedly urged the United States to abide by its commitment against protectionism and work together with China and other members of the international community to maintain a free, open and just international trade environment.
