Commerce Department Releases Preliminary Results for Antidumping Review on Spanish Steel Flanges
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has released its preliminary findings for the administrative review of the antidumping duty order on finished carbon steel flanges from Spain. The review covers the period from June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025.
The Department of Commerce found that the Spanish producer and exporter, ULMA Forja, S.Coop, sold these flanges in the United States at prices less than normal value. The preliminary results reveal a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.22 percent for ULMA during the review period.
The Department conducted this review under the Tariff Act of 1930. Commerce calculated export prices and normal value according to this law.
Interest parties may comment on these preliminary results. Commerce will accept comments seven days after the last verification report in the review.
For any questions, people can contact Mason Harkleroad at the International Trade Administration with the phone number (202) 482-0905.
Additionally, petitions showed interest in Commerce verifying ULMA’s questionnaire responses. The Department plans to verify the information in the final results.
If ULMA’s margin stays above zero in the final results, Commerce will calculate specific assessment rates for imports. Duties will be adjusted based on the margin found.
Cash deposit requirements have also been set. After final results are announced, the cash deposit rate for ULMA will reflect the final dumping margin percentage if it is above de minimis. If the rate is de minimis, no deposit will be required. Previously reviewed firms maintain existing rates, and others will continue at the rate of 18.81 percent.
Commerce aims to provide the final review results within 120 days of these preliminary findings. This review is crucial to ensure fair trading practices by monitoring dumping activities.
