The exporter, Productos Laminados de Monterrey S.A. de C.V. (Prolamsa), is intervening in a case against Commerce's review of Mexican pipe and tube brought by Maquilacero. That exporter argues that it shouldn’t have been collapsed with its manufacturer and that its manufacturer's downstream automotive products shouldn’t have been included within the scope of the review (see 2512310050).
If Commerce reverses on those points, the agency must also revise the non-selected respondents’ rate, Prolamsa said.
The exporter noted Commerce will do so by practice even if the issue hasn’t been raised. When it has, the Court of International Trade “has instructed Commerce” to do so.
