Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1) and (2) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export
price and constructed export price were 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 our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 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). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov and is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Commerce
building. In addition, the complete Preliminary Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Estimated
weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd......................... 0.60
Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. and Synn Industrial Co., Ltd. 0.51
Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd..................................... 6.76
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.
If the weighted-average dumping margin for YP/Synn, Prosperity, and
SYSCO is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem AD assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importers
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\5\ 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 above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent). Where
either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate 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 the final results of this review where
applicable.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 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 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 each
respondent for which they did not know that their merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
entries not reviewed at the all-others rate of 3.66 percent \6\ if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\7\ We intend to issue 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

all shipments of CORE from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for each company listed
above will be equal to the dumping margins established in the final
results of this review except if the ultimate rates are de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rates will be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this administrative 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 recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which the producer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value investigation but
the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer
of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 3.66 percent, the all-others
rate established in Amended Final Determination.\8\ These deposit

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of review is are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
