In the intricate tapestry of international trade, a significant proclamation resounded on the 4th of August, an announcement poised to shape the trajectory of commerce. The hallowed chambers of the US Department of Commerce resonated with the preliminary findings of an administrative review, an inquiry that centered on the antidumping duty order enveloping the realm of heavy walled rectangular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from South Korea. Within this temporal frame, stretching from the 1st of September, 2021, to the 31st of August, 2022, the gaze turned towards South Korean titan Nexteel, scrutinizing its sales trajectory with meticulousness.A revelation emerged, a verdict that resounded with a rarity in the annals of trade jurisprudence. The scales of evidence tilted not towards the inferno of underpricing, but rather towards the equipoise of normal value. Nexteel stood exonerated from the realm of sales less than par, an outcome that steered the DOC towards an exceptional calculus. A weighted-average dumping margin, an emblem of commerce's intricate arithmetic, stood inscribed not with digits but with a rare zero, a testament to the equanimity in Nexteel's dealings.Yet, the panorama extended beyond the realm of Nexteel alone. The corridors of administrative review echoed with a refrain of withdrawal, an orchestration where POSCO, SeAH and HiSteel assumed the roles of protagonists. The tryst of their participation took an unforeseen turn as timely withdrawal transformed the narrative. The DOC, in response, undertook a resplendent act of rescission, a gesture that reinstated the realm of these entities to a state of pre-review semblance.
