published an antidumping duty order
on wire rods from India. See
Antidumping Duty Order: Certain
Stainless Steel Wire Rods from India, 58
FR 63335 (December 1, 1993). On
August 4, 2008, the Department
received a request for a changedcircumstances review of this order from
India Steel to determine if, for purposes
of the antidumping law, India Steel is

Department published the notice of
initiation for this changedcircumstances review and preliminarily
found that India Steel is the successorin-interest to Isibars and should be
treated as such for antidumping duty
cash-deposit purposes. See Notice of
Initiation and Preliminary Results of
Changed Circumstances Antidumping

The merchandise under review is
wire rods, which are hot-rolled or hotrolled annealed and/or pickled rounds,
squares, octagons, hexagons or other
shapes, in coils. Wire rods are made of
alloy steels containing, by weight, 1.2
percent or less of carbon and 10.5
percent or more of chromium, with or
without other elements. These products
are only manufactured by hot-rolling
and are normally sold in coiled form,
and are of solid cross section. The
majority of wire rods sold in the United
States are round in cross-section shape,
annealed, and pickled. The most
common size is 5.5 millimeters in
diameter.
The wire rods subject to this order are
currently classifiable under subheadings
7221.00.0005, 7221.00.0015,
7221.00.0030, 7221.00.0045, and
7221.00.0075 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise subject to the order is
dispositive of whether the merchandise
is covered by the order.
Final Results of ChangedCircumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the
preliminary results and because the
Department did not receive any
comments on the preliminary results of
this review, the Department continues
to find that India Steel is the successorin-interest to Isibars for antidumping
duty cash-deposit purposes.
Instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
suspend liquidation of all shipments of
the subject merchandise produced and
exported by India Steel entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice at 30.10 percent (i.e.,
Isibars’s cash-deposit rate, as published
in Stainless Steel Wire Rod From India:
Amended Final Results of Antidumping
