Mexico Steel Wire Rod: ITA Says Deacero is Circumventing AD Order
Shipments of wire rod with an actual diameter of 4.75mm to 5mm exported by Deacero S.A. de C.V. are included in the scope of the antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Mexico (A-201-830), said the International Trade Administration in the final results of an anti-circumvention inquiry. According to the ITA, the physical characteristics of the merchandise are indistinguishable from products covered by the order, and the 0.25mm difference between Deacero’s wire rod and wire rod subject to the order doesn’t alter the expectations of users.

The ITA will direct CBP to continue suspending liquidation of Deacero’s steel wire rod entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 8, 2011. The ITA will also instruct CBP to collect an AD cash deposit at the all others rate of 20.11 percent for any such entries.
(See notice for more information, including scope of order, ITA statement that the finding applies solely to Deacero (and not Ternium), etc. See ITT's Online Archives 11122010 for summary of the preliminary results of this anti-circumvention inquiry, unchanged in these final results.)
