The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced Friday its final results in the administrative review of the antidumping order on light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Mexico.
The review originally covered three Mexican producers/exporters – Maquilacero S.A. de C.V.; Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos S.A. de C.V.; and Nacional de Acero S.A. de C.V. – during the period from August 1, 2011 through July 31, 2012. However, the DOC rescinded the review of Nacional de Acero because the company withdrew its request for an administrative review
The DOC calculated the following final dumping margins: (a) Maquilacero – 0.00 percent; and (b) Regiomontana – 1.45 percent. The previous dumping duty deposit rates were 0.00 percent for Maquilacero and Regiomontana and 6.13 percent for Nacional de Acero.
Accordingly, effective January 31, 2014, the dumping duty deposit rate remained unchanged at 0.00 percent for Maquilacero and became 1.45 percent for Regiomontana. In addition, the DOC will send instructions to US Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries that were made during the period of review.
