The US Department of Commerce (US DOC) has announced the extension of the time limit for the final results of the antidumping (AD) duty administrative review on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rods from Canada, for the one-year period between October 1, 2006 and September 30, 2007.
On July 10, 2008, the DOC published the preliminary results of this administrative review of the antidumping duty order on the import of subject products from Canada. The companies involved in this case include Ivaco Rolling Mills and Sivaco Ontario, whereas the petitioners were ISG Georgetown Inc., Gerdau Ameristeel U.S. Inc., Nucor Steel Connecticut Inc., Keystone Consolidated Industries, Inc., and Rocky Mountain Steel Mills.
According to the DOC, the final results are currently due not later than November 7, 2008; however the DOC requires additional time to evaluate the extensive comments provided by the parties. Therefore, it is extending the deadline for the final results of this review by 35 days, until not later than December 12, 2008.
According to the result of its preliminary determination on July 10, the DOC had set the weighted-average margin for the period October 1, 2006, through September 30, 2007 for Ivaco at 2.33 percent.
