US DOC: Preliminary results of AD review on flat products from Netherlands

On August 1, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated a sunset review of the antidumping duty order on certain hot rolled carbon steel flat products imported from The Netherlands. On the basis of the notices of intent to participate and an adequate substantive response filed on behalf of the domestic interested parties and adequate responses from the respondent interested parties, the DOC has conducted a full sunset review of the order. As a result of this sunset review, the DOC has preliminarily found that revocation of the antidumping order would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping at the levels indicated below:

Manufacturer/exporter                  Margin 

Corus Staal BV...........................2.59%
All others...............................2.59%
