The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its preliminary results in the administrative review of the antidumping order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod imports from Mexico. The review covers one Mexican producer/exporter and its affiliated US importer – Deacero S.A. de C.V. and Deacero USA, Inc. (collectively Deacero”) – during the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2013.

The DOC has calculated a preliminary dumping margin of 0.59 percent for Deacero.

The current dumping duty deposit rate for Deacero is 12.08 percent.

The DOC plans to complete this review by March 2015.  The current dumping duty deposit rate will remain in effect until the DOC’s final results are published in the Federal Register next year.
