On November 6, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) published the preliminary results of its third administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada. The review covers the shipments of subject merchandise to the US by Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P. (IRM), and Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P., (Sivaco) (collectively, both IRM and Sivaco are referred to as Ivaco). The period of review is October 1, 2004, through September 30, 2005.
In the preliminary results, the DOC determined that sales of the subject merchandise by Ivaco were made below normal value and set a weighted average duty margin of 2.75 percent for Ivaco.
Based on the comments received from the interested parties, the DOC has decided to make changes to the preliminary results. Accordingly, the final duty margin set for Ivaco is 2.06 percent.
