as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on May 5, 2014, the

June 17, 2014, the ITC notified the
Department of its affirmative
determinations that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
less-than-fair-value imports of PC tie
wire from Mexico and the PRC.2
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are high carbon steel wire; stress
relieved or low relaxation; indented or
otherwise deformed; meeting at a
minimum the physical, mechanical, and
chemical requirements of the American
Society of Testing Materials (ASTM)
A881/A881M specification; regardless
of shape, size or alloy element levels;
suitable for use as prestressed tendons
in concrete railroad ties (PC tie wire).
High carbon steel is defined as steel that
contains 0.6 percent or more of carbon
by weight.
PC tie wire is classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheading
7217.10.8045, but may also be classified
under subheadings 7217.10.7000,
7217.10.8025, 7217.10.8030,
7217.10.8090, 7217.10.9000,
7229.90.1000, 7229.90.5016,
7229.90.5031, 7229.90.5051,
7229.90.9000, and 7312.10.3012.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of these orders is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Orders
As stated above, on June 17, 2014, in
accordance with section 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found
material injury with respect to PC tie
wire from Mexico and the PRC.3
Because the ITC determined that
imports of PC tie wire from Mexico and
the PRC are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, all unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from Mexico and the
PRC, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by the Department,
antidumping duties equal to the
amounts listed below for all relevant
From the People’s Republic of China, 79 FR 25572
(May 5, 2014).

entries of PC tie wire from Mexico and
the PRC. These antidumping duties will
be assessed on unliquidated entries of
PC tie wire from Mexico and the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after December
12, 2013, the date of publication of the
preliminary determinations,4 but will
not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final injury determination as
further described below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section
735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct
CBP to continue to suspend liquidation
on all entries of PC tie wire from Mexico
and the PRC. We will also instruct CBP
to require cash deposits equal to the
amounts as indicated below. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations, CBP will require,
at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated duties on
this subject merchandise, a cash deposit
equal to the estimated weighted-average
antidumping duty margins listed
below.5
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
instructions issued 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 exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
PC tie wire from Mexico and the PRC,
we extended the four-month period to
no more than six months.6 In the
underlying investigations, the
Department published the preliminary
determinations on December 12, 2013.
Therefore, the six-month period
beginning on the date of publication of
the preliminary determinations ended

737(b) of the Act states that definitive
duties are to begin on the date of

Therefore, in accordance with section

will instruct CBP to terminate the

antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of PC tie wire from Mexico and

warehouse, for consumption after June
