U.S. producers of brass sheet and strip applauded the U.S. International Trade Commission’s recent determination that revoking antidumping orders on imports of brass sheet and strip from France, Germany, Italy and Japan would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of injury to the domestic industry. The ITC’s determinations come on the heels of a Commerce Department finding that the foreign producers subject to the orders were likely to resume dumping at significant margins.
“This is a positive development for the U.S. producers of brass sheet and strip, which are very important components for a wide range of downstream products that are integral to the U.S. economy,” says David A. Hartquist, a partner at Kelley Drye & Warren LLP and counsel to the domestic brass sheet and strip industry. “Maintaining the orders against dumped brass sheet and strip from France, Germany, Italy and Japan, and the market discipline that the orders provide, will allow the domestic producers to continue to compete in the U.S. market without the presence of unfair imports.”
The existing trade orders have been in place since the late 1980s, and the five-year reviews were initiated on March 1, 2011. As a result of the votes, the orders will remain in place for an additional five years before another round of sunset reviews is undertaken.
The U.S. brass producers and employee organizations supporting the action include Heyco Metals Inc., Aurubis Buffalo Inc., Olin Brass, PMX Industries Inc., Revere Copper Products Inc., and several unions.
