Oil Country Tubular Goods, Other Than Drill Pipe, from Korea: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

Résumé

In response to requests filed by U.S. Steel Corporation (U.S. Steel) (the "petitioner"), SeAH Steel Corporation ("SeAH"), Husteel Co, Ltd ("Husteel") and Nexteel Co., Ltd ("Nexteel") (collectively, the "respondents"), the U.S. Department of Commerce ("the Department") is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on oil country tubular goods, other than drill pipe ("OCTG"), from Korea. This review covers the following producers/ exporters: SeAH, Husteel, and Nexteel. The period of review ("POR") is August 1, 2005 through July 24, 2006. We preliminarily find that Husteel made sales at less than normal value ("NV"), and Nexteel and SeAH did not sell subject merchandise at less than NV during the POR. 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 on Husteel's entries of merchandise during the POR, and to liquidate Nexteel's and SeAH's entries during the POR without regard to antidumping duties. The preliminary dumping margins are listed below in the section entitled "Preliminary Results of Review."
