The US Department of Commerce (DOC) published final results of the antidumping administrative review on stainless steel plate in coils imported from Belgium. On June 30, 2004, the DOC initiated an antidumping administrative review for the period covering May 1, 2003, through April 30, 2004. The review was initiated upon the request of the petitioners, namely Allegheny Ludlum, AK Steel, Butler Armco Independent Union, United Steelworkers of America, AFL-CIO/CLC, and Zanesville Armco Independent Organization, and the respondent Ugine & ALZ Belgium (U&A Belgium). The DOC preliminarily determined that during the period of review, U&A Belgium made sales below normal value (NV). The preliminary margin for the producer was 2.61 percent.

Accordingly, the final dumping margin for U&A Belgium has been determined as 2.96 percent.
