In determining the volume of dumped imports, NSO statistics, 1998 HRC import entries on file with the Commission and entries forwarded by the BIS were used. With respect to exporters of HRCs originating from Russia whose manufacturers cannot be identified, adjustments in export prices, in addition to customs clearance and trader’s/contract commission, were based on Magnitogorks. The Commission based its estimates of export price on the import entries on file with the Commission, entries forwarded by the DTI-BIS, and summary of sales invoices submitted by Magnitogorks. NSC’s interest expense in 1998 ballooned to P2.23 billion or an increase of 80% from P1.23 billion in 1997. The high interest expense of P2.23 billion represents 26% of total net sales of P8.58 billion, against 10% interest expense in 1997. This heavy debt servicing exhausted NSC’s financial resources, causing difficulty in sustaining operations and eventually led to a shutdown in November 1999. Direct materials accounted for the largest share, at 79%, of the cost to produce and sell a metric ton of HRC. This was followed by selling, administrative and general expenses, which accounted for 7.8%.
However, the pressure of competition from normal imports cannot be discounted. Its share to total market remained higher than the share of domestic sales over the 3-year period. Further, normal imports consistently picked up the slack left by dumped imports, especially in the absence of dumping in the 4th quarter of 1988. Severstal is one of the largest iron steel making enterprises in Russia. The company’s plant facilities has a total land area of 30,000 hectares, situated in Cherepovets, Vologda Region, Russia. The Commission, based on its investigation, limited the coverage of the product under consideration to hot rolled low-carbon steel coils and sheets of thickness of 2.0 – 12.7 mm with widths of up to 1220 mm which is within the capability of NSC. The counsel for protestees manifested that the company was adopting the information provided in its earlier submission to the DTI-BIS.
Anti-Dumping Investigation No. 99-02
The 1998 quarterly HRC Income Statement shows that a significant portion of revenue is used to pay interest expense. Its mounting loan obligations are a major cause of its financial difficulties. Declining sales resulted stole my deposit from NSC’s decision to favor CRC operations, as discussed earlier. However, apart from the evidence already presented, it shall be shown further that price suppression cannot be attributed solely to dumping.
For dumping determination, the Commission’s investigation covered imports of HRC for the 12-month period from 01 January 1998 to 31 December 1998. With respect to injury, the period covered were the years 1996 to 1998. Though the 1998 figure is much lower, the high cost of money for the servicing of NSC’s dollar denominated loans as a result of the peso devaluation had major adverse impact on the company’s financial position. The slow-down in the Philippine economy had significantly affected the company in terms of higher financing costs and reduced sales and production volume. NSC’s total operation in 1998 incurred its biggest deficit prior to the shutdown of its operations in November 1999. The loss is attributed to decreasing sales combined with increasing production cost, and selling and administrative expenses. Declining sales resulted from NSC’s decision to favor CRC operations. The incidence or extent of price undercutting was estimated using the landed cost of dumped HRC from Russia against the average ex-factory domestic selling price of local HRC.
Anti-Dumping Investigation No. 99-02
The product line includes black iron pipes and galvanized iron pipes. The company’s manufacturing plant is located at Barrio Lingunan, Valenzuela, Metro Manila. It also has huge annual production capacity up to 16 million tons of steel smelting and 11 million tons of rolled metal output. Annual volume of hot rolled steel production is about 6 million tons. The Commission received Novolipetsk’s faxed letter dated 23 September 1999. The company was adopting the information provided in the BIS Exporter’s Questionnaire as compliance to the Commission’s questionnaire. NSC was capable of supplying the requirements of the domestic market during the period of investigation and therefore remains a domestic industry to protect with the imposition of an anti-dumping bond. Also notified, through their embassies in Manila, were the governments of the trading firms based outside Russia whose HRC exports from Russia to the Philippines were subjected to temporary suspension of provisional measure. The cost to produce and sell a metric ton of HRC was 26% higher in 1998 than in 1997. Total market contracted by an average 25% from 1996 to 1998, while domestic sales of NSC decreased by an average of 30% in the same period.
- Severstal did not submit any document, which may be used as basis for determining normal value.
- Several months of suspended operations 1998, resulting from deficient working capital, contributed to a decline in capacity utilization.
- The company determines the price of its products through direct negotiations with customers/trading companies.
- The pressure on NSC to reduce prices in these quarters was evident as landed costs of dumped imports were about 10.34% lower than the company’s production costs.
- No dumped imports were recorded in the 4th quarter hence, no price difference in the same quarter.
NSC failed to dispose all of its production in 1998, resulting in a 45,000 MT inventory by year-end, even with declining importation of dumped HRC and its absence in the 4th quarter of 1998. NSC claimed that difficulty in sourcing slabs, the major raw material used in the manufacture of HRC, caused production stoppages from the 2nd to the 4th quarters of 1998, and resulted in reduced production. Investigation, however, revealed no glut in slab supply from traditional sources including Russia, Philippines, Philippines and Brazil in the same year. The Commission traced the cause of reduced production and stoppages to deficient working capital. Documents further show that as early as the 1st quarter of 1998 NSC was purchasing slabs in the account of its customers. Deficient working capital likewise compelled NSC to channel an increasing share of declining production to its cold mill for further processing to CRC, the latter being a more profitable operation. As discussed, total market, domestic sales and imports from countries other than Russia followed similar patterns of decline from 1996 to 1998. Price depression occurs when the price of dumped import forces down the price of like product. Price suppression, on the other hand, occurs when the prices of dumped imports prevent increases in the price of like products, which would otherwise have occurred. “With regard to the volume of dumped imports, the investigating authorities shall consider whether there has been a significant increase in dumped imports, either in absolute terms or relative to production or consumption in the importing Member.”
The highest managerial body of the company is the Board of Directors constituted in an annual general meeting of the stockholders. Severstal is a publicly-owned company with large number of shareholders – 90% owned by private shareholders and 10% by the government through the state-owned company, “Rossiyskaya Metallurgia”. NI&S Co. is one of the largest integrated full-cycle metallurgical enterprise in Russia. It consists of sintering, carbonization, nitrate mineral fertilizer, blast furnace, steel-melting, rolling works, sophisticated power equipment, powerful repair facilities. NSC, formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Development Company , is majority-owned by the Malaysian-based Hottick Holdings Co. The company produces HRC in various commercial sizes in accordance with JIS/ASTM standards and specific customer requirements. Preparation of report of final determination and submission to the DTI for the issuance of a Department Order for the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty, if affirmative, or the release of cash bond, if negative.
Increasing losses sustained over the 3-year period resulted in contracting return on sales, from (9.46%) in 1996 to (5.85%) in 1997, and to (58.46%) in 1998. Volume of production declined from 793,000 MT in 1996 to 693,000 MT in 1997 and to 336,000 MT in 1998.
Anti-Dumping Investigation No. 99-02
As of 31 December 1997, the company had total foreign currency losses of P2.5 billion which went down to P154.9 million in 1998. Though the 1998 figure was much lower, still the high cost of money for the servicing of NSC’s dollar denominated loans as a result of the peso devaluation had significant adverse impact on the company’s financial position. Price undercutting occurs when the prices of dumped imports are significantly lower than the price of the like product. With respect to exporters of HRCs originating from Russia whose manufacturers cannot be identified, adjustments in export prices, in addition to customs clearance and trader’s/contract commission, were based on Magnitogorsk. The Commission based its estimates of export price on the import entries on file with the Commission, entries forwarded by the DTI-BIS, and summary of sales invoices submitted by Magnitogorsk. HRC in sheet form can be obtained from steel coils by cutting the latter in desired lengths whether in-house if a shearing facility is available or through steel service centers. During the public hearings, protestant did not contest the protestees’ witness statement that NSC production of 1.5 mm thick HRC is limited to 930 mm width since it is not protesting HRCs of thickness below 2 mm. Protestant’s witness also manifested that 1.5 mm thick HRC are not sourced from Russia.
- However, available import entries accounted for only 116,273 MT of HRC importations from Russia.
- Aside from HRC, NSC also produces electrolytic tinplates, billets and CRC.
- On 24 February 2000, the Commission conducted an ocular inspection and verification of information contained in the company’s submission of purchases from NSC as well as its importations.
- The Commission based its estimates of export price on the import entries on file with the Commission, entries forwarded by the DTI-BIS, and summary of sales invoices submitted by Magnitogorsk.
- “When there are no sales of the like product in the ordinary course of trade….”
For the months of September to December, adjusted domestic selling prices were below cost of production. Hence, the constructed normal value, based on the cost of production plus selling and administrative expenses and profit margin was used. The domestic “like product”, for purposes of this investigation, is hot-rolled low-carbon steel coils, of thickness of 2.0 to 12.7 mm, in widths of up to 1220 mm and conforming to JIS G3101, G3131, G3132, G3113 or its equivalent in ASTM standard. Price differences existed between the normal values and export prices of HRC originating in or exported from Russia in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 1998. No dumped imports were recorded in the 4th quarter hence, no price difference in the same quarter. Imports from Russia, including dumped imports, increased in 1997 but likewise declined in 1998. Apart from the reason of contracting domestic market, the decline is attributed to a shift in Philippines import markets. The Asian financial crisis forced Philippines manufacturers to seek new markets for its steel products. The manufacturing boom in the United States and Canada served as impetus to tapping these two big markets.
Anti-Dumping Investigation No. 99-02
These widths are standard sizes based on domestic industry demand and are also the basic widths imported by protestees. The Commission, as in its findings in the CRC from Russia anti-dumping investigation, excludes those products with widths greater than 1220 mm from the coverage but includes intermediate widths within the actual capability of the domestic industry. Dumped HRC undercut domestic products only in the 1st quarter of 1998 at 10.80% and resulted in almost equal shares of domestic sales and dumped imports to total domestic consumption. Severstal did not submit any document which may be used as basis for determining normal value.
