The US Department of Commerce (DOC), on April 9, 2008, made its final dumping determination in the investigation of light-walled rectangular (LWR) pipe and tube from Turkey.
The DOC determined that Turkish producers Guven Boru Profil Sanayii ve Ticaret Ltd. Sirketi and MMZ Onur Boru Profil Uretim San. Ve Ticaret A.S. both made sales to the US market below normal value. The DOC has calculated a final weighted-average dumping margin of 41.71 percent for each company.
A number of non-cooperating Turkish mills were listed with a final weighted-average dumping margin also of 41.71 percent, while all others were calculated at 27.04 percent.
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is planning to make its final injury determination in this investigation by the end of May 2008.
