DOC publishes final results of AD review on certain pipes from 4 countries
On May 2, 2005, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated sunset reviews of antidumping duty orders on certain carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe from the Czech Republic, Japan, Romania, and South Africa. On the basis of adequate responses from domestic interested parties and inadequate responses from respondent interested parties, the DOC conducted expedited (120-day) sunset reviews. As a result of these reviews, the DOC determined that the revocation of the antidumping duty orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping. The dumping margins for the four countries are as follows:Countries/Producers Weighted-average margin Czech Republic Nove Hut, A.S....................................39.93% All Others.......................................32.26% Japan Nippon Steel Corporation........................106.07% Kawasaki Steel Corporation......................106.07% Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd..................106.07% All Others.......................................70.43% Romania Metal Business International S.R.L...............11.08% S.C Petrotub S.A.................................11.08% S.C Silcotub S.A.................................15.15% Sota Communication Company.......................15.15% All Others.......................................13.06% South Africa Iscor Ltd........................................43.51% All Others.......................................40.17%
