On November 26, 2007, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain carbon and alloy steel wire rod imported from Canada. The review covered the period October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007. Canadian producers Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 (formerly Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P.), Mittal Canada Inc. (formerly Ispat Sidbec Inc.), and Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P. (formerly Ivaco, Inc.) were subject to the review.
Since Mittal Canada Inc. withdrew its request for an administrative review within 90 days of the initiation of the administrative review, the DOC has decided to rescind the administrative review in part with respect to Mittal Canada Inc.
The antidumping duty order with respect to the subject products imported from Canada was imposed on October 29, 2002.
