Most of us-China iron and steel products has experienced double reverse action

United States Commerce Secretary Locke came by with the 46 companies composed of delegations and the "double" five-year export, foreign trade differences and digestion marketing United States clean energy technologies and products.

May 18, Locke arrived in Shanghai on that day, the United States Department of Commerce has announced that the China production prestressed concrete structure with steel strand of the "double-reverse" sanctions, imposed 42.97%-193.55% anti-dumping punitive tariffs, as well as 8.85%-45.85% of countervailing punitive tariffs.

"Now that the vast majority of us-China iron and steel products, are facing the anti-dumping and countervailing proceedings. "18 may, within a large steel tube manufacturers responsible for the reporter said," it is difficult to understand, United States Department of Commerce in China searching for business opportunities, while in China's exports are not just trade investigations, restrictions on Chinese exports to the United States. ”

This reporter has learned that the dissatisfaction of the Chinese steel enterprises, not only to the us on various products of the "full block" is an investigation of its premise and sanctions "far-fetched" method.

17 may, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce press spokesman Yao Jian pointed out that the United States for 2009, the launch of the China trade remedy measures 23, the number of cases has increased by 53%, values up to China in a global survey by trade relief fund size of 65%.

The well tube sample

Amounts of money involved, about 30 million trade friction of most of the well tube "double-reverse case", currently, is nearing completion.

This reporter has learned that on 14 may, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has threatened damage "exist" as an excuse to make the final cut — United States Department of Commerce's confirmation of final results: the Conference on the well tube collection 29.86%-99.14% anti-dumping duty rate, as well as 10.49%-15.78% of countervailing duty rate. May 21, United States Department of Commerce will be issued a tax orders and began formal implementation.

Of these, Tianjin steel tube, seamless steel tubes, Lesley Wuxi Zhejiang Jian Li tubes will be charged at the rate of 40% to 46%, and Jiangsu often Bao Steel pipe rate as high as 111.6%.

Many suspected might on the reporter said, such a result, the "Finalize is dubious, unruly men." "ITC is based on a ' threat ' damage rather than ' real damage ' to finalize, this proves that the product does not cause harm to the United States industrial. "The foregoing charge might call on the reporter," we export the well tube, the price must exceed the cost price of domestic market and not the existence of dumping. ”

"On the contrary, the launch of the double-reverse before the United States the well tube industry profits very substantial. "According to the sources, the United States industrial tubing in the ITC industry injury survey show that the submitted material in double-reverse before 2008, the gross profit on $ 30 million. This figure, even higher than the 1995 to 2005, 10 years, the industry's total earnings.

"The United States is the global market price for seamless steel tube top, United States steel factory tried desperately to put the product out of the market in China is to shut the exclusive so high profits. Anti-dumping, anti-subsidy duties, they are outside the market competition. "This might claimed.

Not reasonable investigation

"China in cost and pricing structures are not in compliance with market principles, therefore, the Chinese market sales of goods and do not reflect the true value of the goods." April 26, United States Department of Commerce in the United States international trade Court of Hebei simexco tire v. United States, the submission of materials;

"Bank of China (601988, share!) of all loans are subject to Chinese Government intervention significantly on the banking industry, does not reflect a normal market interest rate". 2010 February 22 United States pipe anti-subsidy investigation decisions;

"The Chinese land prices are subject to Chinese Government role of distortion. "The 2010 February 22 United States China coated anti-subsidy investigation decisions.

"Why on anti-dumping duty rates of the well tube is so high that it was the US adopted unfair dumping calculation methods and survey activities. "The steel enterprises said.

A typical case is the United States on alternative country (control and determine the product price is fair) inappropriate choice. "Billet cost calculations, for example, India's data is 500-600 USD/ton, and the actual level of more or less the same. But the US final ruling is Indonesia's data, 1200 us $/ton. The difference between? "

"In the United States industrial do not need protection, this irrational behavior, especially infuriating. "These people said.

Defence and hope

Although the Chinese enterprises are still active in the defence, but the actual loss is formed. In April ' 2009, most exporters have immediate cessation of exports.

From nationwide, the highest peak in the United States, exports of products can occupy more than 50% of the entire industry. We stopped exports, is afraid of being traced back tariffs, we can't afford the risk assumed. "These might have told reporters that the past year, exports to the United States, many Chinese delay oil

Well pipe enterprises have export target towards South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and other emerging markets.

"However, we still want to express our voices. In the United States Department of Commerce will soon be published on the occasion of the anti-dumping orders oil well tube, we would like to ask the United States Department of Commerce, why do you want access to business opportunities from China, while blocking Chinese enterprises exports to the United States? "

The steel enterprises official said: "well tube case Basic has come to an end. But we hope that, on the back but also ruling line pipe, oil drilling rod and other steel products in China to the United States, the United States to have an impartial investigation, fair treatment. ”
