On December 15, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the preliminary results of its antidumping (AD) duty order administrative review for circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico. The period of review covers from November 1, 2008, through October 31, 2009.

The administrative review covers mandatory respondents Mueller Comercial de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. (Mueller) and Ternium Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (Ternium). It has been preliminarily determined that Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA), which is subject to a concurrent changed circumstances review of this order, has been succeeded by the company Lamina y Placa Comercial, S.A. de C.V. (Lamina). The DOC also concluded that this company had no shipments to the US during the review period, thus keeping its former AD margin mentioned below.

The following preliminary AD margins have been determined as a result of the review: Ternium (formerly known as Hylsa) - 48.33 percent, and Mueller - 4.81 percent

These compare with the following rates of a 1992 determination: Ternium (formerly known as Hylsa) - 48.33 percent; Mueller - 48.33 percent; TUNA (now Lamina) - 2.92 percent; and all others -36.62 percent.

The petitioners in the investigation are US Steel Corporation, Allied Tube and Conduit Corp. and TMK IPSCO.

The merchandise subject to the order is classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 7306.30.50.85 and 7306.30.50.90.
