Mexico Rail Tie Wire: Prelim AD Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect
The Commerce Department made a preliminary affirmative antidumping determination that prestressed concrete steel rail tie wire from Mexico (A-201-843) is being sold in the U.S. at less than fair value. As a result, Commerce is directing CBP to suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties on subject merchandise. Final assessment of AD duties will only occur if Commerce finalizes its affirmative determination, the International Trade Commission finds injury to domestic injury, and Commerce issues an AD duty order. Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements are effective Dec. 12.
