Japan Large Diameter Seamless Pipe: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The International Trade Administration has issued the preliminary results of the antidumping duty administrative review of certain large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe (over 4 1/2 inches) from Japan (A-588-850) for four mandatory respondents. The ITA preliminarily determines that these four did not have reviewable sales. If the final results also determine that there were no shipments, the AD cash deposit rate will not change for the four respondents.

(The review period is 06/01/10 -- 05/31/11. See ITA notice for more information, including the ITA's interpretation of "automatic assessment" in this case, which results in the continuation of the review rather than its partial recession, the proposed assessment instructions, the scope of the order etc. See ITT's Online Archives, 11072859, for summary of the initiation of this review.)
