I. COMMON ALLOY ALUMINUM SHEET FROM SLOVENIA IS BEING SOLD OROFFERE,D FOR SALE AT ,E,SS THAN F'AIR VAI,IIE

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 Slovenia. This volume presents

information reasonably available to Petitioners demonstrating that CAAS from Slovenia 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 discussed below, application of the

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

Department") demonstrates that producers and exporters in Slovenia 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. $ 35I.202, and section 207.11 of the regulations of the U.S. International

Trade Commission (.'ITC" or "the Commission"), 19 C.F,R. ç 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

Slovenia 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 Slovenia

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

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

. Impol 2000, d.d. and its subsidiary companies ("Impol Group") including Impold.o.o. and Impol FT, d.o.o.

PUBLIC VERSION

Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. $ 351.202(b)(7)(Ð(A), the full names and addresses of all known

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

in Volume I. See Petition Volume I, 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 company accounts for most or all U.S. imports of CAAS during the proposed POI.I

C. Export Price or Constructed Export Price

Petitioners have reason to believe or suspect that producers in Slovenia 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 Slovenia based on information

Petitioners obtained from confidential sources concerning sales or offers for sale during the

proposed POL See Exhibit AD-SI-I.

2, Adiustments to U.S. Pricine

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:

. Impol Aluminum Corpo AA Metals Inc.o LevellingCorporation. Empire Resources Inc.¡ Ta Chen International Inc

' Consistent with the Department's practice, Petitioners have treated the four calendar quarters

prior to the month in which the petition has been filed, January l, 2019 - December 37, 2079, as

the proposed POL

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

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

1. Normal Value Based on Home Market Prices

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. $ 3 5 L403. Petitioners were able to obtain pricing information in Slovenia

based on confidential market research. See Exhibit AD-SI-2.

PUBLIC VERSION

E. Antidumpins Dutv Marsin Calculations

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

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

comparison results in a dumping margin of 30.88 percent, ad valorem. See Exhibit AD-SI-3,

II. CONCI,TISION AND REO ST FOR INVESTIGATION

As demonstrated in this volume, CAAS from Slovenia 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 Slovenia.

About Doing Eusiness

The Do,ng Bus,ness pÍoject provides objective measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the subnational and

regional level.

The Do¡,t4g Bustness project, launched in 2002, looks at domest¡c small and medium-size compan¡es and measures the regulations applying to them through the¡r life

cycle.

Do,ngBus¡,7,esscapturesseveral importantdimensionsoftheregulatoryenvironmentas¡tappliestolocal fìrms ltprov¡desquantitativeindicatorsonregulationfor

borders, enforc¡ng contracts and resolv¡ng insolvency. Doing Bus¡ness also measures features of employing workers. Although Doing Eusinoss does not present rankings

of economies on the employing workers indicators or include the topic in the aggregate ease of doing business score or ranking on the ease of doing business, it does

present the data for these ¡nd¡cators.

By gathering and analyzing comprehensive quantitat¡ve data to compare business regulation environments across economies and over time, Dorng Eus,ness encoufages

economies to compete towards more eff¡cient regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for academ¡cs, journal¡sts, private sector

researchers and others interested in the business cl¡mate of each economy

ln addltion, Do¡rg Bus,n6ss offers detailed subnat¡onal studles, wh¡ch exhaustively cover business regulation and reform in different clties and regions within a nation.

These studles provide data on the ease of doing bus¡ness, rank each location, and recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas. Selected

cities can compare the¡r business regulatlons with other cit¡es ¡n the economy or region and w¡th the 190 economies that Oolng Eusrness has ranked

lhe(rsLDoingBusiness study, published ln 2003. covered 5 ind¡catorsets and 133 economies, Th¡s year's study covers 1l indicator sets and 190 economies. Most

indicator sets refer to a case scenario in the largest business city of each economy, except for 11 economies that have a population of more than 100 m¡llion as of 2013

(Bangladesh, Brazil, china, lndia, lndonesla, Japan, Mexico, Niger¡a, Pakistan, the Russian Fedefation and the un¡ted states) where Dong Bus,ness also collected data

for the second largest business city. The dôta for these 1l economies are a population-we¡ghted average for the 2 largest business clt¡es The project has beneflted from

feedback from governments, academics, practitioners and reviewers. The ¡nitlal goal remains: to provide an object¡ve basis for understandlng and improving the

regulatory environment for business around the world.

$þTrading across Borders

Do,hg gus,nass records the t¡me and cost associated with the logistical process of exporting and importing goods. Do¡hg Bus,ness measures the time and cost (excluding

tariffs) assoclated with three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance and domest¡c transport-within the overall process of export¡ng or

importing a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collect¡on for the project was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more informat¡on'

To make the data comparable across economies, a few assumptions are made about the traded

goods and the transactions:

Tlme: Time is measured in hours, and 1 day ls 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.

Cort: lnsurance cost and informal payments for whlch no receipt is issued are excluded from the

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

into U.s. dollars based on the exchange rate prevailing on the day they answer the quest¡onnaire.

contributors are pr¡vate sector experts in international trade logistics and are informed about

exchange rôtes.

Assumptions of the cas€ study¡- For all I90 economies covered by Do,ng 8us¡hess, lt is assumed a shipment is in a warehouse in

the largest business c¡ty of the exporting economy and travels to a warehouse in the largest

business city of the importing economy.- It ¡s assumed each economy imports 15 metric tons ofcontainerized auto parts (HS 8708) from

its natural import partner-the economy from which it imports the largest value (pr¡ce times

quantity) of auto parts. lt ¡s assumed each economy exports the product of ¡ts comparat¡ve

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

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

the trading partner, as is the seaport or land border crosslng.

- All electron¡c information submlssions requested by any government agency in connection wlth

the shipment are considered to be documents obtained, prepared and submitted dur¡ng the export

or import process.

- A port or border is a place (seaport or land border crossing) where merchandise can enter or

leave an economy.- Relevant government agencies include customs, port author¡ties, road pol¡ce, border guards,

standardlzation agencies, mlnistr¡es or departments of agr¡culture or lndustry, national security

agenc¡es and any other government authorities.

About Doing Business

The Oo¡ng guslrêss project provides oþjective measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected c¡ties at the subnatlonal and

Doing Business captures several important dimensions of the regulatory environment as it applies to local firms. lt provides quantitative indicators on regulation for

borderi, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. Dolng Bus,ness also measures features of employing workers. Although Doing Eus,ness does not present rankings

of economies on the employing workers indicators or include the topic ¡n the aggregate ease of doing business score or rank¡ng on the ease of doing business, it does

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

can be picked up at 8:00a.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 ¡nformal paymenLs for which no receipt is issued are excluded from the

costs recorded. Costs are reportèd in U.S. dollars. Contributors are asked to convert local currency

into u.s. dollafs based on the exchange rate prevailing on the day they answer the questionnaire.

contributors are private sector experts in international trade logistics and are lnformed about

exchange rates.

Assumptlons of the caso study:- For all 190 economies covered by Do,ng 8us,';4ess, it ¡s assumed a shipment is in a warehouse in

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

business city of the importing economy.

- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metr¡c tons of contalnerlzed auto parts (H5 8708) from

its natural import partner-the economy from which ¡t imports the largest value (price times

quantity) of auto parts. lt is assumed each economy exports the product of ¡ts comparat¡ve

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 is the one most widely used for the chosen export or import product and

the trading 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, prepared and submitted dur¡ng the export

or import process,

- A port or border is a place (seaport or land border crossing) where merchandlse can enter or

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

standard¡zation agencies, ministries or departments of agriculture or industry, national secur¡ty

agencies and any other government authorit¡es.

76-1

Note

1. ln this chapter the following expressions have the meanings hereby assigned to them:

(a) Bars and rods

Rolled, extruded, drawn or forged products, not in coils, which have a uniform solid cross section along their whole length in

the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened

circles" and "modified rectangles", of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal

length and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross section may have corners

rounded along their whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangular")

cross sectionèxceeds onetenth of the width. The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms and

dimensions, which have been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than by simple trimming or descaling), provided

that they have not thereby assumed the character of articles or products of other headings.

(b) Profiles

Rolled, extruded, drawn, forged or formed products, coiled or not, of a uniform cross section along their whole length, which

do not conform to any of the definitions of bars, rods, wire, plates, sheets, strip, foil, tubes or pipes. The expression also

covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms, which have been subsequently worked after production (otherwise than

by simple trimming or descaling), provided that they have not thereby assumed the character of articles or products of other

headings.

(c) Wire

Rolled, extruded or drawn products, in coils, which have a uniform solid cross section along their whole length in the shape

of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons (including "flattened oircles"

and "modified rectangles", of which two oppos¡te sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length

and parallel). Products with a rectangular (including square), triangular or polygonal cross section may have corners rounded

along their whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangular'') cross

section exceeds one{enth of the width.

(d) Plates. sheets. strip and foil

Flat-surfaced products (other than the unwrought products of heading 7601), coiled or not, of solid rectangular (other than

square) cross section with orwithout rounded corners (including "modified rectangles" of which two opposite sides are convex

arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel) of a uniform thickness, which are:

- of rectangular (including square) shape with a thickness not exceeding one{enth of the width,

- of a shape other than rectangular or square, of any size, provided that they do not assume the character of articles orproducts of other headings.

Headings 7606 and 7607 apply, inter alia , to plates, sheets, strip and foil with patterns (for example, grooves, ribs, checkers,

tears, buttons, lozenges) and to such products which have been perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, provided that

they do not thereby assume the character of articles or products of other headings.

(e) Tubes and pipes

Hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross section with only one enclosed void along theirwhole length in

the shape of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regular convex polygons, and which have

a uniform wall thickness. Products with a rectangular (including square), equilateral triangular or regular convex polygonal

cross section, which may have corners rounded along theirwhole length, are also to be considered as tubes and pipes

provided the inner and outer cross sections are concentric and have the same form and orientation. Tubes and pipes of the

foregoing crosssections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped orf¡ttedwithflanges, collars or rings.
