The ITA initiated this review to determine whether Lamina y Placa Comercial, S.A. de C.V. is the successor-in-interest to Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA) for purposes of determining AD duty liability.

Lamina y Placa is Successor, Receives TUNA's AD Rate

Based on the information provided by Lamina y Placa, the ITA’s analysis in the preliminary results, and in light of the fact that interested parties did not submit any comments, the ITA has determined that Lamina y Placa is the successor-in-interest to TUNA for AD duty cash deposit purposes.

Therefore, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise produced/exported by Lamina y Placa with a time of entry on or after December 30, 2010.

The ITA will also instruct CBP to collect an AD duty cash deposit of 2.92% (the current estimated AD duty rate for TUNA) on shipments of subject merchandise produced and exported by Lamina y Placa with a time of entry on or after December 30, 2010.
