Final results of AD review on certain pipes from Brazil
Upon the request of petitioner
US Steel Corporation and respondent
Brazil's V&M do Brasil, the US Department of Commerce (DOC), on September 22, 2004, initiated an antidumping administrative review on small diameter seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipes imported from
Brazil. The review covered the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004.
The DOC preliminarily determined that sales of subject merchandise by V&M were made at less than normal value (NV). The dumping margin for V&M was determined as 18.68 percent in the preliminary results.
After analyzing the comments received, the DOC decided to make changes in the margin calculation. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results.
As a result of the review, the weighted-average dumping margin for the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004, is as follows:
Producer/exporter Margin
V&M.........................................14.60%
The previous dumping duty deposit rate for V&M was 7.96 percent.
