1930, as amended (the Act).1 On July 12,
2018, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review of the Order
covering 20 companies.2 On July 24,
2018, Commerce selected one producer/

On December 6, 2018, Commerce
exercised its discretion to extend the

assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de
minimis. If Shin Yang’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by this review
where applicable.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Shin Yang for
which it did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
publication date of the final results of
this review.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751 of the
Act. Export price is calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Normal value is calculated in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying the
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as an
Appendix to this notice.
The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement
and Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Preliminary Results of This Review
As a result of this review, we
calculated a preliminary weightedaverage dumping margin of 2.44 percent
for Shin Yang for the POR. Therefore, in
accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act, we assigned this weightedaverage dumping margin of 2.44 percent
calculated for Shin Yang to the fifteen
companies not selected for individual
review in these preliminary results, as
referenced below. We preliminarily
determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period of May 1, 2017 through April 30,
2018:
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
From July 18, 2018 through July 26,
2018, Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd. (Sheng
Yu), Tension Steel Industries Co., Ltd.
(Tension Steel), Yieh Hsing Enterprise.
Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing), and Pat & Jeff
Enterprise Co. Ltd. (P&J) timely filed
statements reporting that they each
made no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. Subsequently, we received
information from the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) confirming the
no-shipment claims from Sheng Yu,
Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing, and P&J.
Based on the foregoing, Commerce
preliminarily determines that Sheng Yu,
Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing, and P&J had
no shipments during the POR. For
additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. Consistent with
our practice, Commerce is not
rescinding this administrative review
with respect to Sheng Yu, Tension Steel,
Yieh Hsing, and P&J at this time, but
intends to complete the review and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of this
review.7

Hsing Enterprise. Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing), and Pat & Jeff Enterprise Co.
Ltd. (P&J) timely filed statements reporting that they each made no
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
Subsequently, we received information from the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) confirming the no-shipment claims from Sheng Yu,
Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing, and P&J. Based on the foregoing, Commerce
preliminarily determines that Sheng Yu, Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing, and
P&J had no shipments during the POR. For additional information
regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Consistent with our practice, Commerce is not rescinding this
administrative review with respect to Sheng Yu, Tension Steel, Yieh
Hsing, and P&J at this time, but intends to complete the review and
issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of
this review.\7\

Preliminary Results of This Review
As a result of this review, we calculated a preliminary weighted-
average dumping margin of 2.44 percent for Shin Yang for the POR.
Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we
assigned this weighted-average dumping margin of 2.44 percent
calculated for Shin Yang to the fifteen companies not selected for
individual review in these preliminary results, as referenced below. We
preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period of May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shin Yang Steel Co., Ltd.................................... 2.44
Chung Hung Steel Corp....................................... 2.44
Far East Machinery Co., Ltd................................. 2.44
Far East Machinery Group.................................... 2.44
Fine Blanking & Tool Co., Ltd............................... 2.44
Hou Lih Co., Ltd............................................ 2.44
Kao Hsing Chang Iron & Steel Corp........................... 2.44
Lang Hwang Corp............................................. 2.44

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.
For any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\ We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review
when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de minimis. If Shin Yang's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
this review where applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation methodology adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Shin Yang
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date 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 the companies
under review will be the rate established in the final results of this
review (except, if the ad valorem rate is de minimis, then the cash
deposit rate will be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or investigated
companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which the company was
reviewed; (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 of this proceeding for the producer of subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 9.70 percent, the all-others rate
established in the investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

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 Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
The preliminary results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
