INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 731-TA-1527 (Final)]
Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh From Mexico
Determination
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigation, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico,
provided for in subheadings 7314.20.00 and 7314.39.00 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 86 FR 32891, June 23, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission, pursuant to section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)), instituted antidumping and countervailing duty
investigations effective June 30, 2020, following receipt of petitions
filed with the Commission and Commerce by Insteel Industries Inc.,
Mount Airy, North Carolina; Mid-South Wire Company, Nashville,
Tennessee; National Wire LLC, Conroe, Texas; Oklahoma Steel & Wire Co.,
Madill, Oklahoma; and Wire Mesh Corp., Houston, Texas. Effective
December 3, 2020, the Commission established a general schedule for the
conduct of the final phase of its investigations on standard steel
welded wire mesh, following a preliminary determination by Commerce
that imports of the subject standard steel welded wire mesh were
subsidized by the government of Mexico. Notice of the scheduling of the
final phase of the
[[Page 42881]]
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of
December 16, 2020 (85 FR 81487). In light of the restrictions on access
to the Commission building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission
conducted its hearing through written testimony and video conference on
February 12, 2021. All persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to participate.
The investigation schedules became staggered when Commerce did not
align its countervailing duty investigation with its antidumping duty
investigation, and reached an earlier final countervailing duty
determination. In April 2021, the Commission issued a final affirmative
determination in its countervailing duty investigation of standard
steel welded wire mesh from Mexico (86 FR 18555, April 9, 2021).
Following notification of a final determination by Commerce that
imports of standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico were being sold
at LTFV within the meaning of section 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of
the Commission's antidumping duty investigation was given by posting
copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International
Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the
Federal Register of July 1, 2021 (86 FR 35124).
The Commission made this determination pursuant to section 735(b)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its
determination in this investigation on July 30, 2021. The views of the
Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5217 (July 2021),
entitled Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh from Mexico: Investigation No.
731-TA-1527 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: July 30, 2021.
Katherine Hiner,
Supervisory Attorney.
