New Year begins, the U.S. iron and steel products to contain China's "iron curtain" keep growing. Chinese steel product export enterprises worried.
Who is next? Local time on January 5, U.S. Department of Commerce announced that the value of imports from China will be more than 300 million U.S. dollars of steel wire shelves initial charge from 43 to 289 percent anti-dumping duties. The day before, the United Steelworkers and the four U.S. companies to anti-dumping anti-subsidy (dual) to investigate a request made on the drill pipe collection from 109 to 274 percent of the tariff.
The last three months, the U.S. has been investigating the use of dual weapons, China's steel product exports to the U.S. took turns beating.
1 6, the domestic steel information portal to my director Xu Xiangchun steel mesh to the newspaper Information, said: Pipe class products subject to future investigations the possibility of dual is still high. In fact, the hardest hit pipe products precisely because of China's leading steel product exports to the U.S.. According to my steel web statistics, from January to November 2009, China's steel product exports to the U.S. list of the championship are all tube Class: seamless tube 40.1 million tons, steel pipe fittings, tube sets for the 143 thousand tons.
Xuxiang Chun said: "Those who occupy the market segment in the U.S. high share of steel products is also very dangerous."
Pipe exports to the U.S. or by "burning bridges"
2009 years, the United States in the high frequency of dual investigations against the wide range of rarely seen in recent years, but dual investigation, "conviction" that the United States "iron curtain" of the extension direction there are still traces to follow.
Pipe products in 2010 against the U.S. pair of high-risk areas surveyed. Xu Xiangchun told this newspaper that, "In the recent U.S. steel products of pairs of anti-investigation, pipe products are the hardest hit, in the new year, suffered another pipe products against the U.S. dual high possibility."
Early as November 5, 2009, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced on the oil pipe on dual anti-dumping case, the preliminary ruling, affirmed that China exports to the U.S. oil pipe product dumping, imposition of 10.36% -15.78% punitive tariffs. December 31, 2009, the U.S. International Trade Commission endorsed the decision.
Xu Xiangchun to the newspaper stressed that the reason why a pair of pipe products against the hardest hit because before this round of financial crisis, U.S. domestic oil industry has experienced a boom on the oil well pipe, oil pipe products Demand soared, more than its domestic production capacity, which leads to a large number of Chinese products into the U.S. market.
Therefore, "the causal relationship must be clear." Xu Xiangchun told this newspaper that was the United States take the initiative to introduce Chinese products, and in severe recession today, but in turn, blame the Chinese pipe products dumping the U.S. market is no different from burning bridges. In addition, Xu Xiangchun Journalists from China's iron and steel products accounted for U.S. market share on the start, pre-sentence investigation against the United States two main objectives of the future.
Dual investigation, according to prosecution and trial procedures, when a product segment in the United States to occupy a sufficient share of influence, the prosecution prove that the impact of the United States constitute the domestic industry, U.S. Department of Commerce and International Trade Office of the final determination will be set up dual judgments, imposing extra duties.
Xuxiang Chun said that from that point, China's steel producers and exporters now need to check their exports to the U.S. product catalog, if a product has been occupied in the high share of the market segments, and now it is necessary vigilance.
Never give a trade war
Frequent outbreaks of dual investigation, has disrupted the domestic steel industry people.
