notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act.
Assessment Rates
If a respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of the sales in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1).6 If the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis in the final results
of reviews, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
not to assess duties on any of its entries
in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.7
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Husteel
Co., Ltd. or Hyundai Steel Company for
which they did not know their
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination,

review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of this review for
all shipments of CWP from Korea
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit
rate for companies subject to this review
will be the rates established in the final
results of the review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is diamond sawblades and parts thereof.
The diamond sawblades subject to the
order are currently classifiable under
subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), and may also
enter under 6804.21.00. While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for

written description is dispositive. A full
description of the scope of the order is
contained in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.1
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Ten companies that received a
separate rate in previous segments of the
proceeding and are subject to this
review reported that they did not have
any exports of subject merchandise
during the POR.2 We requested that CBP
report any information contrary to these
claims of no shipments.3 To date, we
have not received any contrary
information from either CBP in response
to our inquiry or any other sources that
nine of these companies had any
shipments of the subject merchandise
sold to the United States during the

Separate Rates
The Department preliminarily
determines that 20 respondents are
eligible to receive separate rates in this
review.6
Separate Rates for Eligible NonSelected Respondents

regarding conditional review of the
PRC-wide entity applies to this
administrative review.11 Under this
policy, the PRC-wide entity will not be

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. An electronically filed document must be received successfully
in its entirety by the Department's electronic records system, ACCESS,
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication
of this notice.\5\ Requests should contain: (1) The party's name,
address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a
list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be
limited to those raised in the respective case briefs. The Department
will issue the final results of this administrative review, including
the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs,

Assessment Rates
If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this review, we will calculate an
importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\ If the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of reviews,
we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess
duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these preliminary results, the Department applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\7\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Husteel Co., Ltd. or Hyundai Steel Company for which they did not know
their merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is
no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, AJU Besteel, NEXTEEL, and SeAH Steel Corporation, we will
instruct CBP to apply the rates listed above to all entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported by these firms.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of this review for all
shipments of CWP from Korea entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for companies subject
to this review will be the rates established in the final results of
the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent,\8\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the
export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
The Department is issuing and publishing these results in
accordance
[[Page 57585]]
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: November 30, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
