Spain's finished carbon steel flanges preliminarily below normal value
Published Date: 9/3/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that the producer/exporter subject to this review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Reimbursement Certificate Requirement; Double Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) prior to liquidation of relevant entries from this period of review. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rate Rule After Final Results
If the final results confirm a non-de minimis margin, cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date of the final results will equal the weighted-average dumping margin determined in the final results. If the rate is less than 0.50 percent it will be treated as de minimis and the cash deposit rate will be zero; the order's all-others rate remains 18.81 percent for other producers/exporters.
Preliminary Dumping Margin Found
Commerce preliminarily found that ULMA Forja, S.Coop sold finished carbon steel flanges to the U.S. at a weighted-average dumping margin of 1.22 percent for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. This preliminary rate could lead to antidumping duties if confirmed in the final results.
Assessment, Liquidation Timing, and Rates
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties based on importer-specific ratios or per-unit rates after the final results, but will not issue assessment instructions earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (within 90 days of publication) has passed. Commerce also intends to apply an 'automatic assessment' practice where entries produced by ULMA that were not known to be destined for the U.S. will be liquidated at the LTFV investigation all-others rate if no rate exists for intermediate companies.
