As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine that the
following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the respondents for the

This notice serves as a preliminary
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

If Husteel's weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will calculate an importer-
specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\8\ If Husteel's weighted-average dumping margin is zero
or de minimis in the final results of reviews, we will instruct CBP not
to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\9\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Husteel for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate companies
involved in the transaction. Consistent with our practice, if we
continue to find that Hyundai Steel had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States in the final results of this review,
we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by Hyundai Steel and exported by other parties at
the all-others rate.
For AJU Besteel, NEXTEEL, and SeAH Steel Corporation (the companies
not selected for individual examination), we will instruct CBP to apply
the rate assigned to them in the final results of this review to all
entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by these
companies.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
[[Page 89061]]
publication of the final results of these reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of CWP from Korea entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates
for Husteel, AJU Besteel, NEXTEEL, and SeAH Steel Corporation will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a
prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent, the
``all others'' rate established in the order.\10\ These cash deposit

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and publishing these preliminary results
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: December 6, 2016.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
