U.S. corrects antidumping rate for Mexican steel producer Maquilacero

In the review, a programming error was identified in the final dumping margin calculation, where certain U.S. sales were mistakenly excluded. With this correction, the company’s final weighted-average dumping margin decreased from 7.77% to 7.02%.

The correction applies both to the collection of antidumping duties for the period in question and to future cash deposits. For products that Maquilacero did not know would be shipped to the U.S., the “all others” rate of 4.91% will apply.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will implement the duty instructions no sooner than 35 days after the publication date of the correction. Importers are required to submit a certification on whether antidumping duties were reimbursed; otherwise, double duties may be imposed.
