On September 29, 2006, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) initiated an antidumping administrative review on oil country tubular goods (OCTG), other than drill pipe, imported from South Korea. The review covered the period August 1, 2005, through July 24, 2006. South Korean producers, SeAH, Husteel Co. Ltd, and Nexteel were subject to the review.
The DOC has preliminarily determined that Husteel made sales at less than normal value, and that Nexteel and SeAH did not sell the subject merchandise at less than normal value in the period of review.
Accordingly, the preliminary weighted-average dumping margins existing for the period August 1, 2005, through July 24, 2006, are as follows:
Producers |
Margin |
SeAH Steel Corporation |
0.30 percent (de minimis) |
Husteel Co. Ltd |
0.64 percent |
Nexteel Co. Ltd |
0.00 percent |
