The DOC has preliminarily found that Japan exporters were found to have made sales of the given products at less than normal value during the period of review. The DOC has preliminarily determined estimated a weighted-average dumping margin at 13.07 percent for Nippon Steel, Nippon Steel Nisshin Co., Ltd., Nippon Steel Trading Corporation, JFE Steel Corporation, JFE Shoji Trade Corporation, JFE Shoji Corporation, Honda Trading Corporation, Marubeni-Itochu Steel Inc, Tetsusho Kayaba Corporation and Toyo Corporation, while zero percent dumping margin determined for Tokyo Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
The DOC has also rescinded this review, in part, with respect to JFE Shoji Trade America, as local producers timely withdrew their request.
