On August 9, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the final results of its administrative review in the antidumping (AD) duty investigation of certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products from Italy.
The period of the review, which interests one manufacturer/exporter, Evraz Palini Bertoli S.p.A., is February 1, 2008, through January 31, 2009. Accordingly, the DOC determined that a weighted-average dumping margin of 12.18 percent exists for Palini, which compares with 17.75 percent in the preliminary results announced on January 29, 2010.
