Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Mexico

Resumen

In response to requests by interested parties, the Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and alloy steel wire rod ("wire rod") from Mexico for the period of review ("POR") October 1, 2003, through September 30, 2004. We preliminarily determine that during the POR, Hylsa Puebla, S.A. de C.V. ("Hylsa Puebla") and Siderurgica Lazaro Cardenas Las Truchas S.A. de C.V., and its affiliate, CCC Steel GmbH, collectively ("SICARTSA") sold subject merchandise at less than normal value ("NV"). If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this administrative review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") to assess antidumping duties equal to the difference between the export price ("EP") and NV.
