Final results of AD review on OCTG imported from Mexico
Upon the request of petitioner US Steel Corporation, the US Department of Commerce (DOC), on September 22, 2004, initiated an antidumping administrative review on oil country tubular goods (OCTG) imported from Mexico. The review covered the period August 1, 2003, through July 31, 2004. Imports from Mexican producers Tamsa and Hylsa were subject to the review. The DOC preliminarily found that Hylsa S.A de C.V (Hylsa) made sales of the subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV). The dumping margin for Hylsa was determined as 1.36 percent in the preliminary results. Moreover, the DOC preliminarily determined to rescind the review with respect to Tubos de Acero de Mexico S.A (Tamsa) since the producer made no shipments in the US during the period of review. After analyzing the comments received, the DOC decided to make changes in the margin calculation. Therefore, the final results differ from the preliminary results. However, the DOC decided to rescind the review with respect to Tamsa since no new information contradicting its decision regarding Tamsa in the preliminary results has been received. 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/Manufacturer Margin Hylsa, S.A de C.V............................1.48%The previous dumping duty deposit rate for Hylsa was 0.79 percent.
