Mexico Galvanized Steel Wire: AD Rates Reduced in Final Determination
The International Trade Administration issued its final affirmative antidumping duty determination on galvanized steel wire from Mexico (A-201-840), which reduces the AD rates for two manufacturer/exporters and "all-others". This final determination, which is effective March 26, is expected to be implemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection soon.
Scope of Investigation Amended
The scope of this investigation has been amended in the final determination to include not only circular cross section material, but also out-of-round material that meets the circular tolerances, and also to include an additional Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) number 7217.90.1000. The final determination also adopts the changes to the scope from the preliminary determination.
Suspension of Liquidation Continues
The ITA is directing CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all imports of subject merchandise which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 4, 2011 (the publication date of the preliminary determination).
