Sayenko Kharenko’s international trade team, in collaboration with Appleton Luff (Washington, D.C.), successfully represented Metinvest Trametal SpA and Ferriera Valsider S.p.A. (Metinvest) in an administrative review of anti-dumping duties applied by the US.
Following the review, the anti-dumping duty rate for Metinvest’s companies was reduced from 6.08% to 5.51%. This applies to imports of certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy to the US.
In a strategic partnership with Appleton Luff, the firm provided comprehensive legal support across all phases of the review, including strategic guidance on questionnaire submissions to the US Department of Commerce and a critical analysis of dumping margin calculations. Notably, non-participation in the review or the incorrect and/or incomplete submission of questionnaires by the companies could have resulted in the application of the 130% anti-dumping duty rate originally alleged by the petitioners.
Sayenko Kharenko’s team working on the case included Anzhela Makhinova, Oleksandra Sandul, and Maksym Mykytiuk.
