The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the final results of its administrative review of the antidumping order on welded carbon steel pipe and tube (standard pipe) from Turkey on Friday.
The review covered two producers/exporters--(a) The Borusan Group, including Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari San ve Tic., Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., Boruson Holding A.S., Boruson Gemlik Boru Tesisleri A.S., Borusan Ihracat Ithalat ve Dagitim A.S., and Borusan Ithicat ve Dagitim A.S.; and (b) Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Toscelik Metal Ticaret A.S., and Tosyali Dis Ticaret A.S. (collectively "Toscelik")--during the period from May 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010.
The DOC calculated the following final weighted-average dumping margins: (a) The Borusan Group--4.46 percent; and (b) Toscelik--0.95 percent. These margins compare with the Borusan Group's previous dumping duty deposit rate of 5.57 percent and Toscelik's previous rate of 0.00 percent.
Accordingly, effective Friday, December 9, 2011, the dumping duty deposit rate became 4.46 percent for the Borusan Group and 0.95 percent for Toscelik. In addition, the DOC will send instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries that were made during the period of review.
There is also a countervailing duty order against standard pipe from Turkey, and the DOC is conducting an administrative review of that order.
