Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because Devi and the Liberty Group
reported the entered value for of their
all their U.S. sales, we will calculate
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c), or an importer-specific rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
average 12 of the cash deposit rates
calculated for the companies selected
for mandatory review (i.e., Devi and the
Liberty Group), excluding any which are
de minimis or determined entirely on
adverse facts available. The final results
of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.13
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 for all shipments of the
subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for each specific
company listed above will be that
established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than
0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
12 This
rate will be calculated as discussed in the
‘‘Preliminary Results of the Review’’ section, above.

companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit will continue
to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent segment
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 10.17
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the LTFV investigation.14
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) 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 based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the
total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\6\ If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin or
an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\7\ The final results of this administrative review shall be
the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise under review and for future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these preliminary results, Commerce 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 8103. See also
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the period of review
produced by Dongkuk Steel Mill 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.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective upon publication of the notice of final
results of this review for all shipments of CTL plate 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
equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final
results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not
covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of this
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 recently completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 0.98 percent,\8\ the
[[Page 10672]]
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 period of review. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: March 5, 2018.

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