The ITA is initiating this review to determine whether Lamina y Placa Comercial, S.A. de C.V. is the successor-in-interest to Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. (TUNA) for purposes of determining antidumping duty liability.

ITA Preliminarily Determines Lamina y Placa is Successor

The ITA has preliminarily concluded that Lamina y Placa is the successor-in-interest to TUNA and, as a result, should be accorded the same AD duty treatment previously given to TUNA.

Should the ITA's final results remain the same as these preliminary results, effective the date of publication of the final results, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assign entries of merchandise produced or exported by Lamina y Placa the estimated AD duty cash deposit rate applicable to TUNA.

During the course of this AD duty changed circumstances review, the estimated cash deposit requirements for the subject merchandise exported and manufactured by Lamina y Placa will continue to be the all-others rate, which is currently 32.62%.
