On Friday, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the preliminary results of its administrative review of the antidumping order on circular welded carbon steel pipe and tube (standard pipe) from Taiwan. The review covers one producer / exporter - Shin Yang Steel Co. Ltd. - during the period from May 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012.
The DOC has preliminarily calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 8.90 percent for Shin Yang.
The DOC has also preliminarily determined that Shin Yang is the successor-in-interest to Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. Yieh Phui's dumping duty deposit rate is currently 11.47 percent.
The DOC plans to complete this administrative review by October 2013. Until that time, the current dumping duty deposit rates will remain in effect. Any change in the deposit rate as a result of this review will become effective only when the DOC's final results are published in the Federal Register.
