The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from Mexico (A-201-805). The agency made no changes from its preliminary results, continuing to find all five companies subject to the review had no reviewable transactions. Commerce is therefore rescinding the review with respect to these five companies: PYTCO, S.A. de C.V.; Conduit, S.A. de C.V.; Mueller Comercial de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V.; Lamina y Placa Comercial, S.A. de C.V.; and Tuberia Nacional, S.A. de C.V. All five companies will be subject to AD rates determined in previous reviews, or the all others rate if no previous rate has been determined.

The Commerce Department is beginning a pilot to test the third phase of its release of the IAACCESS database, the agency said in a letter to lawyers currently involved in certain antidumping and countervailing duty proceedings.

During the pilot, lead attorneys on certain proceedings will be sent emails whenever such documents are released by the agency.

Correction: Two International Trade Today reports on antidumping proceedings on wood flooring from China (see 13052914) and new pneumatic off-the-road tires from China (13060338) should have referred to those proceedings as new shipper reviews.

The International Trade Commission banned imports of some older models of Apple iPhones and iPads, issuing limited exclusion and cease and desist orders on the products based on findings that they infringe Samsung patents. The decision reverses an earlier finding of no infringement by an ITC administrative law judge, and ends the Section 337 investigation. The orders now begin a 60-day presidential review period, during which President Obama may veto the import bans for policy reasons. The banned products may still enter during the review. The ITC set bond for presidential review period entries at zero percent.
