I. COMMON ALLOY ALUMINUM SHEET FROM KOREA IS BEING SOLD ORR SALE AT LESS THAN FAIR

A. Introduction

This Petition volume contains information regarding sales at less than fair value in the

United States of common alloy aluminum sheet ("CAAS") from Korea. This volume presents

information reasonably available to Petitioners demonstrating that CAAS from Korea is being sold

in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 731 of the Tariff Act of

1930, as amended ("the Act"). See 19 U.S.C. $ 1673. As discussedbelow, application of the

standard antidumping methodology used by the U.S. Department of Commerce ("the

Department") demonstrates that producers and exporters in Korea have sold, or offered for sale,

CAAS in the United States for less than fair value.

The general and injury information required by section 35L202 of the Department's

regulations, 19 C.F.R. $ 351 .202, and section 207.11 of the regulations of the U.S. International

Trade Commission ("ITC" or "the Commission"), l9 C.F.R. $ 207.11, can be found in Volume I

of this Petition. Based on information reasonably available to Petitioners contained in this volume,

the Department should initiate an investigation of sales at less than fair value of CAAS from Korea

and should impose antidumping duties in an amount that is equal to the amount by which the

normal value exceeds the export price or constructed export price.

B. Producers in Korea

To the best of Petitioners' knowledge, CAAS is produced in Korea and exported to the

United States by the following companies during the proposed period of investigation ("POI"):

o Novelis Korea Ltd.o Choil Aluminum Co. Ltd.

PUBLIC VERSION

Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. $ 351.202(b)(l)(ixA), the full names and addresses of all known

producers and exporters of CAAS in all of the subject countries (including Korea) is provided in

Volume I. See Petition Volume Io Exhibit GEN-6 (foreign producer list) and Exhibit GEN-15

(information on foreign producers). Although information about the proportion of total exports to

the United States accounted for by each listed company is not reasonably available to Petitioners,

Petitioners believe based on experience in the marketplace that merchandise produced by the

identified companies accounts for most or all U.S. imports of CAAS during the proposed POI.I

C. Exnort Price or Con Exnort Price

Petitioners have reason to believe or suspect that producers in Korea are selling CAAS in

the United States at less than fair value, with sales of the subject merchandise occurring either

before or after importation to the United States.

1. Sources of U.S. Pricins

Petitioners calculated U.S. pricing for CAAS from Korea based on information Petitioners

obtained from confidential sources concerning sales or offers for sale during the proposed POI.

See Exhibit AD-KR-l.

2. Adiustments to U.S. Pricins

Petitioners believe that exporters sell CAAS both directly to end users in the United States,

as well as through trading companies or affiliated sales agents in the United States, including:

o Alabama Stainless Storageo Alumet Irving (Alumet Supply Inc.)o AMI Metals Inc.o Benson Associates Llc (Benson Industries Inc.)o Border Assembly Inc.

I Consistent with the Department's practice, Petitioners have treated the four calendar quartersprior to the month in which the petition has been filed, January l, 2019 - December 31, 2019, as

the proposed POI.

In order to calculate ex-factory pricing for the U.S. sales, pursuant to 19 U.S.C. $

1677a(c)(2), (19 C.F.R. $$ 24.23(bXlXA) and24.24(a)), Petitioners have deducted from the U.S.

These adjustments and Petitioners' calculation of net export pricing are provided at Exhibit AD-

D. Normal Value

The preferred method for determining the normal value of imported products is to examine

sales or offers for sale of the identical or similar product in the home market of the exporting

country. See 19 C.F.R. $ 351.403. Petitioners were able to obtain pricing information in Korea

based on confidential market research. See Exhíbit AD-KR-2. (Normal Value).

E. Antidumpins Dutv Margin Calculations

Petitioners deducted the export price or constructed export price from normal value -- using

either foreign market pricing as normal value -- to determine the dumping margin for the U.S.

sales. This comparison results in a dumping margin of 41.88 percent, ad valorem. See Exhibit

AD.KR-3.

il. CONCLUSION AND REOUEST FOR INVESTIGATION

As demonstrated in this volume, CAAS from Korea is being sold in the United States at

less than fair value. Accordingly, Petitioners respectfully request that the Department initiate an

antidumping investigation of CAAS from Korea.

DECLARATION CONCERNING U.S. PRICINGFOR COMMON ALLOY ALUMINUM SHEET FROM SOUTH KOREA

I,I ], declare that the following information is true and accurate:

1. Iamthe I

I. I have been employed at my company for

[ ] years and I have worked in the aluminum industry for [ ] years. My company'sheadquarters are at the following location:

My company sells CAAS I

As a regular part of my responsibilities, I I

I

Pricing for CAAS may be quoted as a single amount or as a fabrication (or "fab") componentplus a metal component that is based on average pricing on the London Metal Exchange("LME") for a specified month, such as the month 30 days prior to sale or 30 days prior to theanticipated shipment.

In the U.S. market, impofts of CAAS are usually sold by intermediaries acting as tradingcompanies or agents. Such intermediaries may be affiliated with a foreign mill or operatingindependently. During 2019, intermediaries actively supporting imports of CAAS on behalfof foreign mills included GARMCO USA Inc., OARC USA Inc., Novelis USA. Otherintermediaries included such companies as AA Metals, Metal Exchange and Sinobec. Basedon my experience and knowledge of the CAAS market, I estimate that prices quoted or offeredby an affiliated or unaffiliated intermediary include a mark-up of between 3 and 5 percent oftotal gross price in order to cover the cost of operations in the United States.

Doing Busrhess records the time and cost associated with the logistical process of exporting and importing goods. Dong Eusness measures the time and cost (excluding

tariffs) assoc¡ated w¡th three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance ônd domestic transport-within the overall process of exporting or

importing a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collection for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more information.

Documentary compliance

' 0btaining, preparlng ând submitting documents dur¡ng

transport, clearance, ¡nspect¡ons and port or border handling in

orig¡n economy

' obtaining, preparing and submitiing documents required bydestination economy and any transit economles

o Covers all documents required by law and in practice, including

electronic submissions of information

Border compllance

' Customs clearance and inspections

' lnspections by other agencies (if applied to more than 200/0 ofshipments)

' Handling and lnspections that take place at the economy's port

or border

Domestic transport

' Loading or unloading of the shipment at the warehouse orporVborder

. Transport between warehouse and porvborder

' Traffic delays and road police checks while shipment is en

route

To make the data comparable across economies, a few assumptions are made about the tradedgoods and the transactions:

Tlmê: Time ¡s measured in hours, and I day is 24 hours (for example, 22 days are recorded as

22x24=528 hours). lf customs clearance takes 7.5 hours, the data are recorded as is. Alternatively,

suppose documents are submitted to a customs agency at 8:00a.m., are processed overnight and

can be picked up at 8:004.m. the next day. The time for customs clearance would be recorded as

24 hours because the actual procedure took 24 hours.

Cost: lnsurance cost and informal payments for which no receipt is issued are excluded from the

costs recorded. Costs are reported in U.S. dollars. Contrlbutors are asked to convert local currency

into U.S, dollârs based on the exchange rate preva¡l¡ng on the day they answer the quesiionnaire.

Contributors are pr¡vate sector experts in international trade logist¡cs and are informed about

exchange rates.

Assumptlons of thô cðse study:- For all 190 economies covered by Do,hg Bus,hsss, it ¡s assumed a shipment is ¡n a warehouse in

the largest buslness city of the exporting economy and travels to a warehouse in the largest

business city of the importing- lt is assumed each economy container¡zed âuto parts (HS 8708) from

its natural import partner-the the largest value (price tlmesquantity) of auto parts. lt is assumed each economy exports the product of ¡ts comparãtive

advantage (defined by the largest export value) to its natural export partner-the economy that is

the largest purchaser of th¡s product. Shipment value is assumed to be $50,000.- The mode of transport ls the one most widely used for the chosen export or impori product and

the tradlng partner, as is the seaport or land border crossing.

- All electronic information submissions requested by any government agency in connection w¡th

the shipment are considered to be documents obtained, prepâred and submitted during the export

or ¡mport process.

- A port or border is a plâce (seaport or land border crossing) where merchand¡se can enter o¡

leave an economy.- Relevant government agencies include customs, port authorities, road police, border guards,

standardization agencies, m¡nistries or departments of agriculture or industry, national security

agenc¡es and any other government author¡ties.
