China Steel Wire Rod: Commerce Postpones Preliminary AD Duty Determination

The Commerce Department is postponing until Aug. 29 the due date for its preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from China (A-570-014). The group of U.S. companies that had originally requested the investigation asked for the extension, and Commerce says it has no reason to deny the request. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determination, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated AD duties. The preliminary determination was originally due July 10.
