Commerce review finds continued dumping of Mexican pipe and tube
Written by Laura Miller
An administrative review of the anti-dumping duty (AD) order on heavy-walled rectangular pipe and tube imports from Mexico has found evidence of continued dumping by Mexican companies.
The review period covers the year ended Aug. 31, 2024.
Preliminary Commerce Department results indicate a 31.23% weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondent, Forza Steel SA de CV. Previously, the company’s rate was below 3%.
For the other mandatory respondent, Productos Laminados de Monterrey, S.A. de C.V. (Prolamsa), Commerce found a preliminary dumping margin of 7.42%. That’s down from its previous rate of 14.03%.
However, five non-individually examined companies were assigned a 16.81% rate, notably higher than previous rates of less than 3% to ~7%. That group includes Buffalo Tube, Fortacero, Maquilacero, Perfiles y Herrajes LM, and Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos.
Note that these results are preliminary and may change when Commerce releases the final review results. When it does, the final weighted-average dumping margins will serve as the cash deposit rate for any future import of the subject product.
