    Budget Wish List - Stainless steel industry seeks hike in import duty

    Financial Express reported that Indian domestic stainless steel industry has urged the government to double the import duty on their finished products to 15% and nullify the duty on raw materials not available locally.

    Though the government recently re-imposed anti-dumping duties of 4.6-57.39% on certain cold-rolled flat products of stainless steel for five years and in June on specified flat products originating from China, Malaysia and Korea between $108/tonne and $ 316 a tonne, industry sources said imports have remained unabated due to large-scale circumvention. Stainless steel products are not subject to minimum import price announced recently for a large number of steel products.

    Indian Stainless Steel Development Association president Mr NC Mathur said “Stainless steel industry faces exactly similar danger of what the carbon steel sector does. The stainless steel industry is hit by unwarranted imports into the country. As a result of excessive imports, almost all stainless steel players are under severe financial stress.”

    The stainless steel sector’s current woes originate from unwarranted imports from China, Korea and Japan. This has led to rigorous price undercutting in the domestic market. As a result, capacity utilisation of domestic firms, including Jindal Stainless and SAIL, has come down to just half of the installed capacity of 3.5 MT and all major players are under severe financial stress. China alone accounts for 50% of the import basket.

    Imports of stainless steel have nearly doubled in the last four years to 2014-15 at 4.59 lakh tonne. Cold rolled flat products of stainless steel constitute nearly 75% of the total imports.

    US stainless steel makers file AD and CVD petitions against imports from China

    AK Steel Corporation, ATI Flat Rolled Products, North American Stainless and Outokumpu Stainless USA LLC, the four principal US producers of stainless steel sheet and strip, filed antidumping and countervailing duty petitions charging that unfairly traded imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from the People's Republic of China are causing material injury to the domestic industry. The petitions were filed concurrently with the United States Department of Commerce and the United States International Trade Commission.

    The antidumping margins alleged by the domestic industry range from 53.69 percent to 83.24 percent ad valorem. The domestic industry's countervailing duty petition alleges that the Chinese government has provided significant subsidies to Chinese producers.

    The domestic industry filed its petitions for relief in response to large and increasing volumes of low-priced imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from China over the past three years that have injured US producers. The volume of imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from China has increased by 133 percent since 2013. Chinese products accounted for 81.2 percent of the total increase in US stainless steel sheet and strip imports during the past three years.

    The petition alleges that Chinese producers have injured the domestic industry by selling their stainless steel sheet and strip at unfairly low prices that significantly undercut domestic market prices. As a result of this unfair competition, the domestic industry has suffered declines in sales, production, employment, prices, and profits. Chinese producers have massive capacity to produce stainless steel sheet and strip and have been exporting large and increasing volumes of unfairly low-priced and subsidized merchandise to the United States that have devastated conditions in the US market. Those price declines are likely to continue to the detriment of US producers if duties are not imposed to level the playing field. US producers have invested significant capital in recent years to enhance capability, quality, and cost competitiveness and are not earning an adequate rate of return on invested capital.

    Kathleen W Cannon, of Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, the petitioners' trade counsel said “Surging imports of unfairly low priced stainless steel sheet and strip from China have devastated pricing in the US market and caused severe injury to the domestic industry. The domestic industry looks forward to the opportunity to present its case to the Commerce Department and U.S. International Trade Commission to obtain relief from unfairly traded imports from China and to restore fair competition in the U.S. market."

    Antidumping duties are intended to offset the amount by which a product is sold at less than fair value, or "dumped", in the United States. The margin of dumping is calculated by the Commerce Department. Estimated duties in the amount of the dumping are collected from importers at the time of importation. Countervailing duties are intended to offset unfair subsidies that are provided by foreign governments and benefit the production of a particular good. The USITC, an independent agency, will determine whether such imports are a cause of, or threaten, material injury to the domestic industry.

    As a result of the filing of the petitions, the Commerce Department will determine whether to initiate the antidumping and countervailing duty investigations within 20 days and the USITC will reach a preliminary determination of material injury or threat of material injury within 45 days. The entire investigative process will take approximately one year, with final determinations of dumping, subsidization, and injury likely occurring in the first quarter of 2017.

    The petitioners are represented in these actions by Kathleen W. Cannon, David A. Hartquist and John M. Herrmann of the law firm Kelley Drye & Warren LLP.

    Indian stainless steel industry needs budgetary support – Mr Sushim Banerjee

    Mr Sushim Banerjee DG of INSDAG in his personal; capacity wtote in Financial Express last week that the Indian government has already met some of the demands of the steel industry. It has raised the customs duties on long and flat in carbon steel in two stages in the past few months, from 5% to 7.5% and then to 10% in long and from 7.5% to 10% and then to 12.5% in flat, while keeping the option of raising the duties up to 15% mandated by the last year’s Budget. To reduce the burden of increasing costs of raw materials for making steel, the customs duties on scrap (MS and SS) was reduced from 5% to 2.5% in the last Budget.

    In the post Budget phase, the continuous decline in prices of iron ore, coal (both thermal and coking) and scrap did not allow the steel industry to derive any benefits of lower production costs as finished product prices also came down sharply. Global recessionary trend in commodity markets led to steep fall in demand and prices and this made the existing capacities in steel appear menacingly surplus.

    The major exporting countries — China, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Japan, South Korea and Brazil — had aggressively resorted to exports at cheap prices almost at unsustainable levels. The prices offered by China were below their production costs. Steel industry in China has been the beneficiary of a number of subsidies from the government in terms of low interest on bank loans, low costs of raw materials, high export incentives, etc. In the process China faced a number of antidumping and countervailing investigations culminating in imposition of heavy duties against Chinese exports by the US, Mexico, EU, India, Indonesia, Turkey, Vietnam and Brazil for all types of steel in various categories.

    Stainless steel consumption in the country is no longer confined to utensil segment and has widened its coverage to industry applications particularly in ABC (architecture, building and construction) over the past few years. Use of SS grade steel is increasing in high value niche segments like nuclear power, airspace, etc. Substantial capacity expansion has been planned by domestic players in North, East and South regions. The subdued demand scenario in both domestic and international markets and steep decline in prices of finished steel by more than 30% in the past few months are causing much pain to the industry.

    During the first 10 months of the current fiscal, the production of SS in India has only grown by less than 3%, but the imports exhibited substantial rise of more than 17%. This has resulted in lowering the indigenous capacity utilisation at less than 50% and has made the investments already made for capacity augmentation by the major domestic players like SAIL and Jindal rather uncertain and unviable. The import of SS flats has gone up from 0.32 million tonne in FY14 to 0.46 million tonne in FY15 and has reached 0.39 million tonne (JPC) during April-Jan ’16. China continues to remain the top exporter of cheap SS steel to India having a share of more than 50% of imports of SS flats.

    On the basis of an antidumping petition filed by the domestic SS industry, the government carried out the investigation and antidumping duty was imposed in 2015 on cold rolled flat products of imported SS in width of 600-1250mm from Korea, China, EU, Taiwan, South Africa, the US and Thailand. However, it is seen and duly acknowledged by the Director General of Antidumping in its final findings in October ’15 that large scale circumvention of duty is taking place as higher width (>1250 mm) SS steel is easily imported in substantial tonnages by slitting the same into narrower width at nominal costs, thereby making the duty ineffective. The industry has already filed anti-circumvention petition (on width>1250mm) before the government.

    In order to give a timely relief to the beleaguered SS industry and to take care of the circumvention, the government must enhance the basic customs duty on SS Flats from the current 7.5% to 15% in the Budget. At least the duty benefits given to carbon steel flat categories (12.5%) may be extended to SS grades. It may be mentioned that Brazil has 14% duty on SS Flats, while China, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam have imposed 10% duty.

    Also in the interest of level playing field with China and other countries, the import duty on ferro nickel, pure nickel and scrap (both MS and SS) may be reduced to nil from the existing level of 2.5%.

    Ansteel Lianzhong stainless steel factory shut down as strike enters sixth day

    Several hundred workers at Ansteel Lianzhong in Guangzhou have been on strike for six days, protesting wage cuts and moves by the company to force them to resign. The strikers have now effectively closed down the factory, which has a total workforce of around 2,000. In response, police have sealed off the factory gates and, this morning, officers in riot gear attempted to break up a demonstration of hundreds of workers inside the factory grounds.

    Workers stage a protest inside the Ansteel Lianzhong Steel complex on 17 February

    The workers claimed that problems at the plant started last year when state-owned steel giant, Ansteel, took a controlling interest in the formerly Taiwanese-owned Lianzhong Stainless Steel Co. The new management soon began to lay off staff and increase workloads and then in December, the company started to put workers on leave at 80 percent of the Guangzhou statutory minimum wage. The final straw came on 15 February when the company issued an open letter announcing a new performance-based pay system that would significantly reduce workers’ wages. To add insult to injury, it added that the company trade union had already accepted the plan on the workers’ behalf.

    Several hundred workers mobilized immediately, collecting money via the WeChat Red Envelope system to pay for banners, loud speakers etc. The strike began on 17 February with workers demanding compensation for contract termination and to sign new contracts with Ansteel directly. The strike spread quickly and by the third day they had effectively shut down production. Large numbers of police with riot gear and busses used for mass arrests arrived at the factory and blocked the factory gates.

    On the third day of strike, the head of the company union head was sent by management to meet with workers and attempt to persuade them to accept the deal and return to work. The union head offered to return to the old wage system but workers rejected the offer and ignored the union head.

    Workers were outraged at the inability of a large state-owned company to abide by its basic legal obligation to compensate laid off workers: “If you want to get rid of your workers, you just pay them compensation – isn’t that normal?” one said.

    In its most recent letter to employees, the company offered to halt the wage adjustment program and asked employees to return to work, threatening those who refused with disciplinary action. As of today, the workers intend to continue their action claiming trust between employer and employees had broken down.

    Guangzhou authorities force Lianzhong Stainless Steel workers to end one week strike

    Workers at Ansteel in Guangzhou returned to work, ending their week-long strike, after local police branded their protests illegal and threatened to arrest any workers who continued to demonstrate, even inside the factory grounds.

    The state-owned company issued written warnings to at least 100 strikers, while offering those who returned to work a temporary bonus of 100 yuan a day. In a minor victory for the workers however, the company promised to cancel the planned pay system reform that had triggered the strike on 17 February.

    Despite retuning to work, some workers still plan to take legal action against the company while others are looking for alternative employment.

    Acerinox boekt 63% minder winst

    AMSTERDAM (Dow Jones)--Roestvaststaal-producent Acerinox (ACX.MC) heeft in het afgelopen boekjaar de nettowinst met 63% zien dalen, vanwege de daling van de nikkelprijs en de uitdagende marktomstandigheden.

    De nettowinst kwam in 2015 uit op EUR43 miljoen. Een jaar eerder was dit nog EUR136 miljoen.

    De Europese sectorgenoot van het in Amsterdam genoteerde Aperam zei dat 2015 een lastig jaar is geweest. De prijzen van nikkel, een grondstof die nodig is voor de productie van roestvast staal, bleven dalen. Dit wordt doorberekend in de verkoopprijzen wat er toe leidt dat klanten bestellingen uitstellen, in anticipatie op verdere prijsdalingen. Bovendien was de concurrentie groot, niet in de laatste plaats door de goedkope import vanuit met name China.

    De operationele winst (EBITDA) van het Spaanse bedrijf daalde hierdoor met 36% tot EUR286 miljoen. De omzet nam 3,6% af tot EUR4,2 miljard.

    Acerinox zei ook dat de economische onzekerheid dit jaar tot nu toe is toegenomen. Daardoor is het traditionele herstel van de roestvast staal sector in het eerste kwartaal onder druk komen te staan. De staalprijzen blijven laag en dit zal volgens Acerinox ook in de eerstekwartaalresultaten terug te zien zijn.

    EU decision to impose AD measures on seamless stainless steel pipes from Ukraine implemented

    Interfax reported that the decision of the Eurasian Economic Commission, the regulating body of the Eurasian Economic Union, to impose the anti-dumping duty for five years on Ukrainian seamless, stainless steel pipe up to 426 mm in diameter equal to 18.96% of the customs value took effect on February 26, 2016. The duty on pipe from Centravis Production Ukraine and Interpipe Niko Tube LLC is 4.32% of the customs value.

    The decision took effect in 30 calendar days from the moment of its official publication. The duties are in effect until February 26, 2021.

    Interpipe told Interfax-Ukraine that Interpipe Niko Tube LLC does not produce stainless steel pipes. It said "We could roll the pipes under an order of another company that included our data into the documents.”

    As reported, imports of stainless steel pipe to the EEU nations fell 28.7% in 2011-2014, imports of pipe from Ukraine rose 15.9% in that period. The share of Ukrainian pipe in total imported pipe rose to 54% in 2014 from 33.2% in 2011.

    Meanwhile, prices for Ukrainian pipe declined 9.1% in 2011-2014, while prices from suppliers in other countries rose 20.5%. Price offers from Ukrainian manufacturers of seamless, stainless steel pipe declined as much as 29.33% at purchase tenders held by EEU states. The markdowns amounted to about 13% in 2015.

    Based on the results of the investigation, the anti-dumping duty was set at 18.96%.

    As a result of the pressure from Ukrainian producers in 2011-2014, the weighted-average price of the pipe products at manufacturers in EEU countries declined 2.5%, although weighted-average costs increased 5.7%. That reduced sales margins to an extremely low level: 80% below the 2011 level and 85% below the 2013 level. Earnings for producers of seamless, stainless steel pipe in the EEU countries plunged 73.9% in 2011-2014.

    The Eurasian Economic Commission began the anti-dumping investigation into imports from Ukrainian pipe manufacturers in February 2015.

    The investigation was launched based on statements submitted by OJSC Volzhsky Pipe Plant, TMK-INOX LLC, Pervouralsky Novotrubny Zavod and Chelyabinsk Tube Rolling Plant (ChelPipe).

    China opposes US AD probe into Chinese stainless steel

    Xinhua reported that China’s Ministry of Commerce in a statement said that China is highly concerned about frequent trade investigations by the United States into Chinese high end steel products after the US Department of Commerce launched an anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigation into stainless steel products imported from China on Friday.

    It said “Similar probes into high-end steel products have caused significant impact on the interests of Chinese firms. China is gravely concerned about it.”

    It added “Though the World Trade Organization allows its members to conduct trade remedy investigations, the WTO rules must be strictly followed and legitimate rights of concerned parties must be fully guaranteed.”

    It said that China hopes the United States will correct past practices that had violated the WTO rules and conduct investigations in an objective and fair way

    The ministry said steel overcapacity is a global problem that needs to be solved with coordinated efforts from all sides. China has already taken substantial measures to curb excess capacity.

    The ministry called for dialogues and negotiations as a solution to trade frictions. It also vowed to protect the legitimate rights of Chinese firms, according to the statement.

    US DOC finds subsidization in imports of welded stainless pressure pipes from India

    On March 7, 2016, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its affirmative preliminary determination in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of imports of welded stainless pressure pipe from India.

    Commerce calculated a preliminary subsidy rate of 2.96 percent and 6.21 percent for mandatory respondents Steamline Industries Limited and Sunrise Stainless Private Limited, Sun Mark Stainless Pvt Ltd and Shah Foils Ltd. (collectively, “Sunrise Group”), respectively. All other producers/exporters in India have been assigned a preliminary subsidy rate of 4.55 percent.

    As a result of the preliminary affirmative determination, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require cash deposits based on these preliminary rates.

    The petitioners for this investigation are Bristol Metals, LLC (TN); Felker Brothers Corporation (WI); Outokumpu Stainless Pipe, Inc. (FL); and Marcegaglia USA Inc. (PA).

    The merchandise covered by this investigation is circular welded austenitic stainless pressure pipe not greater than 14 inches in outside diameter. References to size are in nominal inches and include all products within tolerances allowed by pipe specifications. This merchandise includes, but is not limited to, the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A-312 or ASTM A-778 specifications, or comparable domestic or foreign specifications.

    Primetals Technologies moderniz annealing and pickling line of Aperam Genk

    Primetals Technologies successfully realized the modernization of an annealing and pickling line of Aperam Genk in Belgium. The objectives of the project were to upgrade the drive technology and optimize the strip tension control. Under the turnkey project, Primetals Technologies has been responsible for engineering, procurement and supply as well as construction work and commissioning. The upgrade was carried out during end-of-year break in just three and half weeks, followed by fast production ramp-up. The modernized plant went on-stream mid-January 2016.

    Aperam operates six production locations in Europe and Brazil, with an annual capacity of 2.5 million metric tons of stainless flat products for a wide range of applications. The company is quoted on the stock exchanges in Amsterdam, Paris and Luxembourg. The most important European production sites for stainless steels are Châtelet and Genk in Belgium, and Gueugnon and Isbergues in France. In Genk, Aperam produces hot and cold rolled AISI grades 300 and 400 in coils weighing up to 45 metric tons.

    For the upgrade, Primetals Technologies supplied new electrical equipment, such as automation material, motors and drive for the annealing and pickling line. This included 30 main drives for the entry section, the pinch rolls, the bridle rolls, and the exit section. A total of 99 geared motors were also installed, for example for strip transporting at the conveyors, the furnace and the pickling plant, as well as for the paper winders and unwinders. 25 adaptation frames for new motors and existing motors were installed, as well as17 new gear boxes including their adaption frames. The reducer units for the pinch and bridle rolls were replaced. The coilers and uncoilers retained their gear units. These measures increased the processing speed of the line from 100 to 120 meters per minute. At the same time, the head and tailing-out speeds in the entry and exit sections were prepared for an increasing from 20 to 50 meters per minute. To increase the capacity of the three loopers, their length was extended and new dolly cars and winches were supplied. The two existing loop pits were removed, and were replaced by new bridle rolls and an advanced tension control system. At the entry of the line, a new pinch roll was installed. Also, an additional bridle roll was installed and an existing one replaced.

    Primetals Technologies also improved the strip tension control and strip stabilization on the line by modifying the plant layout. The strip looper was decoupled, and new components installed upstream of the furnace entry and the entry into the pickling section. Furthermore, the plant was equipped with a new strip tension measuring system required for strip tension control.

    USITC votes to continue investigations on stainless steel sheet and strip from China

    The United States International Trade Commission has determined that there is a reasonable indication that a US industry is materially injured by reason of imports of stainless steel sheet and strip from China that are allegedly subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value. All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative. As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the US Department of Commerce will continue to conduct its investigations on imports of these products from China, with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about May 9, 2016, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about July 21, 2016.

    The merchandise covered by these investigations is stainless steel sheet and strip, whether in coils or straight lengths. Stainless steel is an alloy steel containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more of chromium, with or without other elements. The subject sheet and strip is a flat?rolled product – either in coils or straight lengths ? with a width that is greater than 9.5 mm and with a thickness of 0.3048 mm and greater but less than 4.75 mm, and that is annealed or otherwise heat treated and pickled or otherwise descaled. The subject sheet and strip may also be further processed (e.g., cold?rolled, annealed, tempered, polished, aluminized, coated, painted, varnished, trimmed, cut, punched, or slit, etc.) provided that it maintains the specific dimensions of sheet and strip following such processing.
