Department of its final determination
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
steel wire rod from the PRC.2 The ITC
also determined that critical

diameter. Specifically excluded are steel
products possessing the above-noted
physical characteristics and meeting the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) definitions for
(a) stainless steel; (b) tool steel; (c) high
nickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e)
concrete reinforcing bars and rods. Also
excluded are free cutting steel (also
known as free machining steel) products
(i.e., products that contain by weight
one or more of the following elements:
0.1 percent or more of lead, 0.05 percent
or more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or
more of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent
of phosphorus, more than 0.05 percent
of selenium, or more than 0.01 percent

entered under subheadings
7213.99.0090 and 7227.90.6090 of the
HTSUS also may be included in this
scope if they meet the physical
description of subject merchandise
above. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this
order is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on January 2, 2015,
in accordance with section 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified the Department of
its final determination in this
investigation, in which it found material
injury with respect to imports of steel
wire rod from the PRC.4 Because the
Department determined that imports of
steel wire rod from the PRC are being
sold at less-than-fair value, and because
the ITC determined that such imports
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
all unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from the PRC, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse, are subject
4 Id.
PO 00000
Frm 00003
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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
entries of steel wire rod from the PRC.
These antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of steel
wire rod from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after September 8,
2014, the date of publication of the
Preliminary Determination.5
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 steel wire rod from 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 determination, 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.6 For the purpose of determining
cash deposit rates, the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins for
imports of subject merchandise from the
PRC will be adjusted, as appropriate, for
export subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion
countervailing duty investigation of this
merchandise imported from the PRC.7

Scope of the Order
The scope of this order covers certain hot-rolled products of
carbon steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately circular cross
section, less than 19.00 mm in actual solid cross-sectional diameter.
Specifically excluded are steel products possessing the above-noted
physical characteristics and meeting the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) definitions for (a) stainless steel; (b) tool
steel; (c) high nickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e) concrete
reinforcing bars and rods. Also excluded are free cutting steel (also
known as free machining steel) products (i.e., products that contain by
weight one or more of the following elements: 0.1 percent or more of
lead, 0.05 percent or more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more of sulfur,
more than 0.04 percent of phosphorus, more than 0.05 percent of
selenium, or more than 0.01 percent of tellurium). All products meeting
the physical description of subject merchandise that are not
specifically excluded are included in this scope.
The products under order are currently classifiable under
subheadings 7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015, 7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093;

7227.90.6010, 7227.90.6020, 7227.90.6030, and 7227.90.6035 of the
HTSUS. Products entered under subheadings 7213.99.0090 and 7227.90.6090
of the HTSUS also may be included in this scope if they meet the
physical description of subject merchandise above. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of this order is dispositive.
Antidumping Duty Order
As stated above, on January 2, 2015, in accordance with section
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified the Department of its final
determination in this investigation, in which it found material injury
with respect to imports of steel wire rod from the PRC.\4\ Because the
Department determined that imports of steel wire rod from the PRC are
being sold at less-than-fair value, and because the ITC determined that
such imports are materially injuring a U.S. industry, all unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from the PRC, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 entries of steel
wire rod from the PRC. These antidumping duties will be assessed on
unliquidated entries of steel wire rod from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 8,
2014, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 steel
wire rod from 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 determination, 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.\6\ For the purpose of
determining cash deposit rates, the estimated weighted-average dumping
margins for imports of subject merchandise from the PRC will be
adjusted, as appropriate, for export subsidies found in the final
determination of the companion countervailing duty investigation of
this merchandise imported from the PRC.\7\

determination on imports of steel wire rod from the PRC, we will
instruct CBP to lift suspension and refund any cash deposits made to

\8\ As explained in the Final Determination, the estimated
weighted average dumping margin for the separate companies and the
PRC-wide Entity will be adjusted for export subsidies. See Final
Determination, 79 FR at 68861. As a result of the adjustment for
export subsidies, the cash deposit rate for the separate rate
companies will be 93.18 percent and 97.24 percent for the PRC-wide
entity. For information regarding these export subsidies, see CVD
