Mexico’s economy secretariat, SE, said on Friday it is reviewing existing countervailing duties for imports of seamless tubes from Japan, following a petition from local producer Tenaris Tamsa.
SE said the period of review for the existing duties goes from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, while the period of analysis starts on July 1, 2010 and ends on June 30, 2015.
Currently, seamless tube imports from China pay a 99.9 percent countervailing duty.
As the countervailing duty was about to expire, SE asked local producers to submit their comments about the case. Tamsa showed interest in the process, causing SE to review the levies.
The products subject to review of the existing countervailing duties currently fall under Customs Tariff Statistics Position Numbers 304.11.01, 7304.11.02, 7304.11.03, 7304.11.99, 7304.19.01, 7304.19.02, 7304.19.03, 7304.19.99, 7304.39.05, 7304.39.06, 7304.39.07, 7304.39.99, 7304.59.06, 7304.59.07, 7304.59.08 and 7304.59.99.
