The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico (A-201-805). The agency preliminarily found that Tuberia Nacional (TUNA), Lamina y Placa Comercial, Mueller Comercial, and Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos (Regiopysta) exported no subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. It also rescinded the review for four other companies for which review requests were withdrawn. If Commerce continues these findings unchanged in the final results, AD rates for these companies will remain at the levels calculated in previous reviews. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rates for these companies.
