Certain Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings From Thailand; Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

Resumen

On August 6, 1999, the Department of Commerce (the Department) published preliminary results of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings (pipe fittings) from Thailand. This review covers Thai Benkan Corporation (TBC), a manufacturer/exporter of this merchandise to the United States, during the period July 1, 1997, through June 30, 1998. We preliminarily determined that sales of the subject merchandise have been made below normal value. We gave parties an opportunity to comment on our preliminary results. No comments were submitted to the Department. Additionally, we have changed our exchange rate methodology for a portion of the period covered by this review. However, this modification has not affected our results. Consequently, our preliminary results remain unchanged. We will instruct the U.S. Customs Service to assess antidumping duties based on the difference between the export price and the normal value.
