Rescission of Review for One Romanian Company

The ITA states that with regard to two Romanian companies subject to administrative review, producer MS Galati and exporter Metalexportimport S.A. (MEI), it is assigning a preliminary dumping margin to MS Galati only and rescinding the review with respect to MEI because (a) MEI is not the producer of subject merchandise, (b) MEI does not take title to the merchandise which MS Galati exports through MEI, and (c) MS Galati has knowledge of the destination of its subject merchandise exports.

Rescission of Reviews for 18 Vietnamese Companies

The ITA states that due to the withdrawal of review requests, on February 7, 2006, it rescinded its administrative review with respect to 17 Vietnamese companies.
