Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (‘‘Act’’), the Department
published its affirmative final
determination of sales at less than fair
value (‘‘LTFV’’) in the antidumping
investigation of steel grating from the
PRC. See Certain Steel Grating From the
People’s Republic of China: Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value, 75 FR 32366 (June 8, 2010)
(‘‘Final Determination’’). On July 13,
2010, the ITC notified the Department of
its affirmative determination of material
injury to a U.S. industry. See Certain
Steel Grating from China, Investigation
Nos. 701–TA–465 and 731–TA–1161
(Final), USITC Publication 4168 (July
2010). Pursuant to section 736(a) of the
Act, the Department is issuing the
antidumping duty order on steel grating
from the PRC.

Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order
are certain steel grating, consisting of
two or more pieces of steel, including
load–bearing pieces and cross pieces,
joined by any assembly process,
regardless of: (1) size or shape; (2)
method of manufacture; (3) metallurgy
(carbon, alloy, or stainless); (4) the
profile of the bars; and (5) whether or
not they are galvanized, painted, coated,
clad or plated. Steel grating is also
commonly referred to as ‘‘bar grating,’’
although the components may consist of
steel other than bars, such as hot–rolled
sheet, plate, or wire rod.
The scope of this order excludes
expanded metal grating, which is
comprised of a single piece or coil of
sheet or thin plate steel that has been
slit and expanded, and does not involve
welding or joining of multiple pieces of
steel. The scope of this order also
excludes plank type safety grating
which is comprised of a single piece or
coil of sheet or thin plate steel, typically
in thickness of 10 to 18 gauge, that has
been pierced and cold formed, and does
not involve welding or joining of
multiple pieces of steel.
Certain steel grating that is the subject
of this order is currently classifiable in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) under
subheading 7308.90.7000. While the
HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation ordered
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary
determination may not remain in effect
for more than four months except where
exporters representing a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise request the Department to
extend that four-month period to no
more than six months. At the request of
an exporter that accounted for a
significant proportion of exports of steel
grating, we extended the four-month
period to no more than six months. See
Certain Steel Grating from the People’s
Republic of China: Postponement of
Final Determination, 75 FR 5766
(February 4, 2010). In this investigation,
the six-month period beginning on the
date of the publication of the
Preliminary Determination1 (i.e.,
January 6, 2010) ended on July 5, 2010.

Section 737 of the Act states that
definitive duties are to begin on the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination. Therefore, in accordance
with section 733(d) of the Act, we have
instructed U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to terminate
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund
all cash deposits), unliquidated entries
of steel grating from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after July 5, 2010, and
before the date of publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on or after the
date of publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination in the Federal
Register.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to suspend liquidation on all
entries of subject merchandise from the
PRC. We will also instruct CBP to
require cash deposits equal to the
estimated amount by which the normal
value exceeds the U.S. price as
indicated in the chart below. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
On July 13, 2010, in accordance with
section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified the Department of its final
determination, pursuant to section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an
industry in the United States is
materially injured by reason of LTFV
imports of subject merchandise from the
PRC. Therefore, in accordance with
section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the
Department will direct CBP to assess,
upon further instruction by the
Department, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal
value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export
price) of the merchandise for all
relevant entries of steel grating from the
PRC. These antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of steel
grating from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from the warehouse, for
consumption on or after January 6, 2010
, the date on which the Department
published its Preliminary
Determination.
Effective on the date of publication of
the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determination, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (``Act''), the Department published its affirmative
final determination of sales at less than fair value (``LTFV'') in the

See Certain Steel Grating from China, Investigation Nos. 701-TA-465 and

duty order on steel grating from the PRC.
Scope of the Order
The products covered by this order are certain steel grating,
consisting of two or more pieces of steel, including load-bearing

(1) size or shape; (2) method of manufacture; (3) metallurgy (carbon,

representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise request the Department to extend that four-month period to

for a significant proportion of exports of steel grating, we extended
the four-month period to no more than six months. See Certain Steel
Grating from the People's Republic of China: Postponement of Final

Section 737 of the Act states that definitive duties are to begin

Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, we have

before the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination
in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on or
after the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination
in the Federal Register.
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will
instruct CBP to suspend liquidation on all entries of subject
merchandise from the PRC. We will also instruct CBP to require cash
deposits equal to the estimated amount by which the normal value
exceeds the U.S. price as indicated in the chart below. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice.
Antidumping Duty Order
On July 13, 2010, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified the Department of its final determination, pursuant to
section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an industry in the United
States is materially injured by reason of LTFV imports of subject
merchandise from the PRC. Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct CBP to assess, upon
further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties equal to the
amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export
price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise for all relevant
entries of steel grating from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of steel grating from the PRC entered,
or withdrawn from the warehouse, for consumption on or after January 6,
2010 , the date on which the Department published its Preliminary
Determination.
Effective on the date of publication of the ITC's final affirmative

would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the
