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 Croatia. This volume presents

information reasonably available to Petitioners demonstrating that CAAS from Croatia 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 Croaliahave 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 Depaftment's

regulations, 19 C.F.R. $ 35 1.202, and section 207 .lI of the regulations of the U.S. International

Trade Commission ("ITC" or "the Commission"), 19 C.F.R. S 207.I1, 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

Croatia 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 Croatia

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

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

. Impol-TLM, d.o.o. (part of Impol Group)

PUBLIC VERSION

Pursuantto 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 Croatia) 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''

C. Export Price or Constructed Export Price

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

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

before or after importation to the United States.

1. Sources of U.S. Pricins

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

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

See Exhibit AD-HR-I.

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

t Consistent with the Department's practice, Petitioners have treated the four calendar quafters

prior to the month in which the petition has been filed, January l, 2019 - Decembet 3I, 2019, as

the proposed POI.

See Petition Volume I, Exhibit GEN-8 (U.S. importer list).

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.

pricing, where applicable, the following charges and expenses:

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

HR.1

D. Normal Value

1. Normal V Based on Home rkef 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. $ 351.403. Petitioners were able to obtain pricing information in Croatia

based on confidential market research. Seq Exhibit AD-HR-2.

PUBLIC VERSION

E. Antidumpine 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 32.01 percent, ad valorem. See Exhibit AD-HR-3.

il. CONCLUSION AND REOT]E,ST F'OR TIGATION

As demonstrated in this volume, CAAS from Croatia 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 Croatia.

About Doing Business

The Oo,ng Business project provides object¡ve measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the subnat¡onal and

regional level.

The Doirg Buslness project, launched ¡n 2002, looks at domestic small and medium-s¡ze companies and measures the regulations applying to them through their l¡fe

cycle,

Dong Bus,ness captures several important d¡mensions of the regulatory environment as it applies to local firms, lt provides quant¡tat¡ve indìcators on regulation for

borders, enforcing contracts and resolving ¡nsolvency. Doing Bus¡ness also measures features of employing workers. Although Do¡ng Bus,ness does not presenÈ lankings

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 ind¡cators.

By gathering and analyzing comprehens¡ve quant¡tat¡ve data to compare business regulation env¡ronments across econom¡es and over time, Ooing B¿,siness encourages

econom¡es to compete towards more effic¡ent regulation; offers measurable benchmarks for reform; and serves as a resource for academics, journalists, private sector

researchers and others interested ¡n the business climate of each economy.

ln addition, Doing Bus,¡oss offers detailed subnational stud¡es, which exhaustively cover business regulation and reform ¡n different cit¡es and reg¡ons within a nation.

These studies provide data on the ease of doing business, rank each locat¡on, and recommend reforms to improve performance in each of the indicator areas. Selected

cities can compare iheir business regulôtions w¡th other cit¡es in the economy or region and with the 190 economies that Oor¡9 gusness has ranked.

The first Doing Bus,ness study, published in 2003, covered 5 indicator sets and 133 economies. This year's study covers 11 indlcator sets and 190 economies Most

indicator sets refer to a case scenario in the largest bus¡ness 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, lndonesia, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Russian Federation and the United States) where Oo,hg Sus,ness also collected data

for the second largest business city. The data for these 11 economies are a populat¡on-weighted average for the 2 largest bus¡ness cities. The project has benef¡ted from

feedback from governments, academics, practitioners and reviewers. The ¡nitial goal remains: to provide an object¡ve bas¡s for understanding and improv¡ng the

regulatory environment for business around the world.

STrading across Borderc

Do,ng Eusness records the t¡me and cost associated with the logistical process of export¡ng and importing goods. Do,ng Busmess measures the t¡me and cost (excluding

tar¡tfs) associated with three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance and domest¡c transport-within the overall process of exporting o[

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 compllance

. obtainlng, preparing and submitting documents during

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

origin economy

. Obtaining, preparing and submitting documents required by

dest¡nat¡on economy and any transit economies

. Covers all documentsrequired by law and in pract¡ce, includ¡ng

electronic submissions of information

Border compllance

. Customs clearance and inspections

. lnspections by other agencies (if applied to more ihan 20% ofshipments)

. Handling and inspections that take place at the economy's port

or border

Oomostlc transport

. Loading or unloading of the shipment at the warehouse orporvborder

. Transport between warehouse and port/border

. Traffic delays and road police checks wh¡le shipment ¡s en

route

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

goods and the transact¡ons:

Tlme: Time is 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 8:00a.m. the next day. The t¡me 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 recelpt is issued are excluded from the

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

¡nto U.S. dollars bôsed on the exchange rate prevailing on the day they answerthe quest¡onnaire.

Contributors are private sector experts ¡n ¡nternational trade logist¡cs and are informed about

exchange rates.

Assumptions of the case studyl- For all 190 economies covered by Do¡hg 8us,hsss, it is 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 import¡ng economy.- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metr¡c tons of contalnerized auto parts (HS 8708) from

its natural import partner-the economy from which it imports the largest value (pr¡ce timesquantity) of auto parts. lt is assumed each economy exports the product of its comparat¡ve

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

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

the trading partner, as is the seaport or land border crossing.- All eleckonic information submiss¡ons requested by any government agency in connectlon w¡th

the shipment are considered to be documents obta¡ned, 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 lnclude customs, port authoritles, road police, border guards,

standardization agencies, ministries or departments of agr¡culture or ¡ndustry, national security

agencies and any other government author¡ties.

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

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

suppose documents are submitted to a customs agency at 8:004.m., are processed overnight and

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

24 hours because the actual procedure took 24 hours.

costi lnsurance cost and informal paymenLs forwhich no receipt is issued are excluded from the

costs recorded, costs are reported in U.S. dollars. Contributors are asked to convertlocal currency

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

contr¡butors are pr¡vate sector experts in international trade loglstics and are informed about

exchange rates.

Assumptlons of the case studyt- For all 190 economies covered by Dorng Business, lt is ôssumed a shipment ¡s in a warehouse in

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

business city of the import¡ng economy.

- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metric tons ofcontainer¡zed 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 is assumed each economy exports the product of its comparative

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

the largest purchaser ofthis product, Shipmentvalue is assumed to be $50,000'

- The mode of transport is the one most widely used for the chosen export or ¡mport product and

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

- All electronic information submlssions requested by any government agency in connection with

the sh¡pment are considered to be documents obtained, prepared and submltted dur¡ng the export

or import process.

- A port or border is a plôce (seaport or land border cross¡ngl where merchandise can enter or

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

standardization agencies, m¡nistr¡es or departments of agriculture or lndustry, natlonal securlty

agenc¡es and any other government authorit¡es.

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

(a) Bars and rods

XV76-1

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 equallength 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 rectangula/')

cross section exceeds one-tenth 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 orformed products, coiled or not, of a uniform cross section along theirwhole 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) \Mre

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 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 cornefs rounded

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

section exceeds one-tenth of the width.

ldl Plates. sheets. strio and foil

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

square) cross section with or w¡thout 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-tenth 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, þuttons, 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 whlch 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 their whole 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 theforegoing cross sections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped orfitted with

flanges, collars or rings.
