US DOC releases AD review preliminary results on rebar from Turkey

The US Department of Commerce Tuesday released the preliminary results of an antidumping duty administrative review for rebar from certain Turkish companies during the period of April 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005. The results for the active companies are as follows: Colakoglu -- 0.26 percent; Diler -- 0.02 percent; Ekinciler -- 0.0 percent; Habas -- 0.0 percent. Many of the companies under review which had no shipments did not answer the antidumping questionnaire or inform Commerce that they had no shipments. Those companies received an adverse-facts-available rate of 41.80 percent. The final ruling on the case will be made four months from the date of the preliminary result.
