US rescinds administrative review on Vietnam wind towers
Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade said the US Department of Commerce (DOC) rescinded the second Period of Administrative Review (POR2) of the anti-dumping tariff order on wind towers of Vietnam.
On February 3, 2016, the department published the notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on wind towers from Vietnam for the above POR.
According to the DOC's final results of the first Period of Administrative Review (POR 1) with anti-dumping tariffs imposed on Vietnamese wind towers released on September 2015, the only compulsory defendant, CS Wind Vietnam, did not sell its wind towers in the United States at unfairly low prices, the Vietnam Competition Authority under the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
However, the US still decided to keep imposing an anti-dumping duty margin of 58.54% on wind towers exported by other companies in Vietnam as it still considers Vietnam a non-market economy.
The US is determined to slap anti-dumping tariff following a probe into wind towers imported from Vietnam in late 2012.
