US DOC rescinds AD review on certain flat products from China

On December 22, 2005, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated an antidumping administrative review on certain hot rolled carbon steel flat products imported from China with respect to Angang Group International Trade Corporation, Angang Group Hong Kong Co., Ltd., New Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (collectively Angang); and Shanghai Baosteel Group Corporation, Baoshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., and Baosteel Group International Trade Corporation (collectively Baosteel) for the period November 1, 2004, through October 31, 2005. In the preliminary results dated May 3, 2006, the DOC determined to rescind this review based on evidence on the record indicating that there were no entries into the US of subject merchandise during the period of review by the named firms. Since the DOC did not receive any comments on the preliminary results, it decided to rescind the review with respect to subject merchandise imported from China.
