Preliminary results of AD review on certain WR from Mexico
On October 29, 2002, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) imposed an antidumping duty order on carbon and alloy steel
wire rod imported from
Mexico. Upon requests of certain US producers, the DOC, on November 19, 2004, initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and alloy steel
wire rod imported from
Mexico. The review covered the period October 1, 2003, through September 30, 2004.
The DOC preliminarily determined that during the period of review, Hylsa Puebla, S.A. de C.V (Hylsa Puebla), and Siderurgica Lazaro Cardenas Las Truchas S.A de C.V, and its affiliate, CCC Steel GmbH (collectively SICARTSA) sold subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV).
Accordingly, weighted average dumping margins existing for the period October 1, 2003, through September 30, 2004, are as follows:
Producer Margin
Hylsa Puebla..................................4.97 percent
SICARTSA......................................4.28 percent
Interested parties are requested to comment on the preliminary results.
