Background
On February 1, 2012, the Department
published the notice of initiation of the
third sunset review of the antidumping
duty order on clad steel plate from
Japan pursuant to section 751(c) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (Act).
See Initiation of Five-Year (Sunset)
Review, 77 FR 4995 (Feb. 1, 2012).
As a result of its review, the
Department determined that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on clad
steel plate from Japan would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
dumping and, therefore, notified the ITC
of the magnitude of the margins of
dumping likely to prevail should the
order be revoked. See Clad Steel Plate
from Japan: Final Results of the
Expedited Third Sunset Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 31834
(May 30, 2012).
On February 1, 2013, the ITC
published its determination, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation
of the antidumping duty order on clad
steel plate from Japan would likely lead
to a continuation or recurrence of
material injury to an industry in the
United States within a reasonably
foreseeable future. See Clad Steel Plate

The scope of the order is all clad1
steel plate of a width of 600 millimeters
(mm) or more and a composite thickness
of 4.5 mm or more. Clad steel plate is
a rectangular finished steel mill product
consisting of a layer of cladding material
(usually stainless steel or nickel) which
is metallurgically bonded to a base or
backing of ferrous metal (usually carbon
or low alloy steel) where the latter
predominates by weight.
Stainless clad steel plate is
manufactured to American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM)
specifications A263 (400 series stainless
types) and A264 (300 series stainless
types). Nickel and nickel-base alloy clad
steel plate is manufactured to ASTM
specification A265. These specifications
are illustrative but not necessarily allinclusive.
Clad steel plate within the scope of
the order is classifiable under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) 7210.90.10.00.
Although the HTSUS subheading is
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, our written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.
As a result of the determinations by
the Department and the ITC that
revocation of the antidumping duty
order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
and material injury to an industry in the
United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act, the Department
hereby orders the continuation of the
antidumping duty order on clad steel
plate from Japan. U.S. Customs and
Border Protection will continue to
collect cash deposits for estimated
antidumping duties at the rates in effect

of different colors or natures by molecular

limited diffusion is characteristic of clad products
and differentiates them from products metalized in
other manners (e.g., by normal electroplating). The
various cladding processes include pouring molten
cladding metal onto the basic metal followed by
rolling; simple hot-rolling of the cladding metal to
ensure efficient welding to the basic metal; any
other method of deposition of superimposing of the
cladding metal followed by any mechanical or

electrocladding), in which the cladding metal

metal by electroplating, molecular interpenetration

heat treatment at the appropriate temperature with
subsequent cold rolling. See Harmonized
