US DOC makes no changes in final AD results for stainless sheet and strip in coils from Mexico

On April 5, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced that it has not made any changes in the final results of its antidumping duty (AD) administrative review for stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Mexico responding to a timely-filed allegation from the respondents, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V. (Mexinox SA) and Mexinox USA, Inc. (Mexinox USA) (collectively referred to as Mexinox), that the department made ministerial errors with respect to the calculation of Mexinox's importer-specific assessment rate.
 
As SteelOrbis previously reported, on February 10 the DOC announced the final results of its AD administrative reviews for stainless steel sheet and strip coils from Mexico.
 
The DOC said in its notice in relation to the respondent's application that for the respondent based in Mexico, ThyssenKrupp Mexinox S.A. de C.V., an AD margin of 4.48 percent should stay unchanged. The dumping margin for the company was 13.3 percent in the preliminary ruling.
 
The period of review was July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008 and the preliminary results of the reviews were issued on Tuesday, August 7, 2009.
