On September 14, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced in the Federal Register the preliminary results of its sixteenth antidumping (AD) duty administrative review regarding corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat products from South Korea.

The administrative review covers August 1, 2008, through July 31, 2009.

It also found that HYSCO and POSCO have not made sales below normal value.
