Country/Product/Case No. |
---|
Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P. (IRM) and Sivaco Ontario, a division of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P. (Sivaco Ontario) (collectively, Ivaco1) |
1The ITA states that in its most recently completed review, the responding entities were Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P. (the producer) and Ivaco Inc., which through its division Sivaco Ontario purchased wire rod from Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P. and sold wire rod to unaffiliated customers after further processing. The ITA states that Ivaco notified the ITA that the assets of Ivaco, Inc. and all of its divisions were purchased on December 1, 2004. Subsequent to the purchase, Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P. was renamed and is now known as Ivaco Rolling Mills 2004 L.P., and Sivaco Ontario and Sivaco Quebec were reorganized into divisions of Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P. (Ivaco, Inc. is now known as Heico 2004 Member Inc.)
Preliminary Results are Not in Effect and May be Amended
These preliminary results are not in effect and may be amended in the final results of these AD duty administrative reviews, which are currently due within 120 days of November 6, 2006.
Initiation of AD Duty Changed Circumstances Review
The ITA states that the information submitted by Ivaco stating the change in ownership and change in the respondent entities' legal names demonstrates changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review.
Therefore, The ITA states that it is self-initiating a changed circumstances review to determine whether IRM and Sivaco Wire Group 2004 L.P., including its divisions, Sivaco Ontario and Sivaco Quebec, are successors to Ivaco Rolling Mills L.P. and Ivaco Inc.
The ITA notes that the current requirement for a cash deposit of estimated AD duties on all subject merchandise, including the merchandise subject to this changed circumstances review, will continue unless and until it is modified pursuant to the final results of this changed circumstances review or other administrative review.
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 01/10/06 news, 06011035, for BP summary of the notice of initiation for the AD duty administrative review.)
