L COMMON ALLOY ALUMINUM SHEET FROM TURI(EY IS BEING SOLD OR

OF'FERE D F'OR SALE AT ,RSS 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 Turkey. This volume presents

information reasonably available to Petitioners demonstrating that CAAS from Turkey is being

sold in the United States at less than fair value within the meaning of section 73 1 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 Turkey have sold, or offered for sale,

CAAS in the United States for less than fair value.

The general and injury information required by section 351.202 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"), 19 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

Turkey 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 TurkeY

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

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

o ASAS Aluminyumo Assan Aluminyum. Teknik Aluminyumo PMS Aluminyum

PUBLIC VERSION

pursuant to 19 C.F.R. $ 35 L202(b)(7)(iXA), the fult names and addresses of all known

producers and exporters of CAAS in all of the subject countries (including Turkey) are provided

in Volume I. See Petition Volume I, Exhibit GEN-6 and Exhibit GEN-15. 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.r

C. Export Price or Constructed Export Price

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

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

before or after importation to the United States.

1. Sources of U.S. Pricins

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

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

See Exhibit AD-TR-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:

o Kibar Americas Inc.o Sinobec Resources LLCo Empire Resources Inc.o Century Metals & SupPlies

o Cleveland Metal Exchange

r 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 1,20t9 - Decembet 31,2019, as

the proposed POI.

See Petition Volume I, Exhibit GEN-8.

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

t677a(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:

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. $ 351.403. Petitioners were able to obtain pricing information in Turkey

based on confidential market research' See Exhibit AD-TR-2'

E. Antidumpins Dutv Marsin Calculations

Petitioners deducted the exportprice 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 42.45 percent, ad valorem. See Exhibit AD-TR-3.

II. CONCLUSION AND REOUEST FOR INVESTIGATION

As demonstrated in this volume, CAAS from Turkey 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 Turkey.

Iamthet lproduces Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet ("CAAS") in the United States. I have been

employed at rny company for [ ] and I have worked in the aluminumindustry for [ ] years. My company's headquarters and associated production facilities are

at the following locations:

1

2 My company produces and sells CAAS I1.

3. As a regular part of my responsibilities, I I

I in connection with the sale of CAAS in the U,S, market.

4 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 specifred month, such as the month 30 days prior to sale or 30 days prior to the

anticipated shipment.

In the U.S. market, imports of CAAS are usually sold by intermediaries acting as tradingcompanies or agents. Such intermediaries may be affiliated with a foreign mill or operating

independently. During 2019,related intermediaries actively supporting imports of CAAS on

behalf of foreign mills included MT Metal Trading, GARMCO USA Inc., OARC USA Inc.,

and Novelis USA, Other intermediaries included trading companies AA Metals, MetalExchange and Sinobec. Based on my experience and knowledge of the CAAS market, Iestimate that prices quoted or offered by an affiliated or unaffiliated intermediary include a

mark-up of between 3 and 5 percent of total gross price in order to cover the cost of operationsin the United States.

About Doing Business

The Doing Business proJect provides objective measures of business regulations and their enforcement across 190 economies and selected cities at the subnâtional and

regional level.

The Doing Businass project, launched in 2002, looks ãt domestic smâll and medium-size companies and measures the requlatlons applying to them through their llfe

cyclê.

Do¡ng Business captures several ¡mportant dimensions ofthe regulatory environment as it applies to local firms. lt provides quantitat¡ve indicators on regulation for

borderi, enforclng contracts and resolving ¡nsolvency. Dorng Eusmess also measures features of employing workers. Although Dolng Eusiness does not present rankings

of economies on the employing workers ¡ndicators or include the topic in the aggregate ease of doing business score or ranklng on the ease of doing business, it does

present the data for these indicators.

By gathering and analyzlng comprehens¡ve quânt¡tative data to compare business regulation environments across economies and over time, Doing Bus¡ness encourages

eionomies to compete towards more efficient regulat¡on; offers measurable benchmarks for reform: and serves as a resource for academics, journalists, private sector

researchers and others lnterested in the business climate of each economy'

ln addition. Doing Busirlsss offers detailed subnational stud¡es, which exhaustively cover business regulation and reform in different cltles and reglons within a nation'

These stud¡es provide data on the ease of doing buslness, rank each location, and recommend reforms to improve performance ln each of the lnd¡cator areas' Selected

cities can compare their business regulations with other cities ln the economy or region and with the 190 economies that Doing Eusiloss has ranked.

The f¡rst Doing Bus,ness study, published in 2003, covered 5 ind¡cator sets and I33 economies. Thls year's study covers 11 indicator sets and 190 economies. Most

indlcator sets refer to a case scenario ln the largest buslness city of eâch economy, except for 1l economies that hãve a population of more than 100 million as of 2013

(Bangladesh, Brazil, Ch¡na, lndia, lndonesia,,lapan, Mexico, Nigeria, Paklstan, the Russlan Federation and the United States) where Dolng Bus¡hess also collected data

for the second largest buslness city. The data for these 1l economies are a population-weighted average for the 2 largest business cltles' The project has benefited from

feedback from governments, academics, practltioners and reviewers. The initial goal remains: to provide an objective basis for understand¡ng and improving the

regulatory envlronment for bus¡ness around the world.

&Trading across Borders

Do¡ng Busness records the time and cost associated with the Iogistical process of exporting ãnd importing goods. Dong Bus,laess measures the time and cost (excluding

tariffs) associated with three sets of procedures-documentary compliance, border compliance and domestic transport-within the overall process of exporting or

importing a shipment of goods. The most recent round of data collectlon for the proiect was completed in May 2019. See the methodology for more ¡nformation.

,.*i¡¡ii;i¡!iq¡. ;¡alã,rri1r.,¡;i,ti',,:i:, 1¡X¡¡

Documentary compliance

. obtaining, preparing and submitting documents dur¡ng

transport, clearance, inspections and port or border handling in

origin economy

' obtaining, preparing and submitting documents Íequired by

destination economy and any transit economies

. covers all documents required by law and in practice, including

electronic subm¡ssions of information

Border compliancè

. Customs clearance and inspections

' lnspections by other agencies (¡f applied to more than 20% of

shipments)

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

or border

Domestlc transport

. Loading or unloading of the shipment at the warehouse or

port/border

. Transport between warehouse and poruborder

' 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 traded

goods and the transactions:

T¡me: T¡me is measured in hours, and 1 day is 24 hours (for example, 22 days are recorded as

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

suppose documents are subm¡tted 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 informal päyments for which 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 questionnaire.

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

exchange rates.

Assumpt¡ons of the casè study:- For all 190 economies covered by Do,ng Eusrness, it 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 importlng economy.

- lt is assumed each economy imports 15 metric tons of containerized auto parts (H5 8708) fÍom

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

quantity) 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 is

the largest purchaser of this product' Shipment value is assumed to be $50,000.

- The mode of transport is the one most widely used for the chosen export of 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 with

the shlpment are considered to be documents obtained, prepared and submitied during 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 ¡nclude customs, port author¡ties, road police, border guards,

standardlzation agêncles, mlnlstries of departments of agriculture or industry, national secur¡ty

agencies and any other government authorities.

the shape of circles, ovals, rectãngles (including squares), equilateral triangles or regula.r convex.polygons (including "flattened

circles,' and ,,modified rectanglesi, of which two opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two bides being straight, of equal

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

rou-nded along theii whole length. The thickness of such products which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangular")

cross section exceeds one-teñth of the width. The expression also covers cast or sintered products, of the same forms and

dimensions, which have been subsequenfly 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.

lb) 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 oi tn jOefinitions 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 aft'er production (otheruise than

by simple trimming or oescalingj, 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 theirwhole length in the shape

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

and ',modified rectanglãs", of *n¡"h iwo'opposite sides are convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length

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

along their wholelångtn. 1'" thicknõss oisuch próducts which have a rectangular (including "modified rectangular") cross

section exceeds one-tenth 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 córners (including "modified rectangles" of which two opposite sides are convex

aùs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel) of a un¡form 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 or

products 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) .nå io rr"fr producis which have been perforated, corrugated, polished or coated, provided that

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

(e) Tubes and oipes

Hollow products, coiled or not, which have a uniform cross section with only one enclosed void along their whole 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 rectañgular (inciuding square), equilateral tr¡angular 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 concéntric and have the same form and orientation.Tubes and pipes ofthe

foregoing cross sections may be polished, coated, bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded, cone-shaped or fitted with

flanges, collars or rings'
