Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products From Taiwan: Amended 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is amending the final 
results of the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order 
on certain corrosion-resistant steel products (CORE) from Taiwan to 
correct a ministerial error.

DATES: Applicable April 29, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shanah Lee, AD/CVD Operations, Office 
III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, 
DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-6386.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On March 24, 2020, Commerce published its Final Results of the 
second administrative review of the AD order on CORE from Taiwan.\1\ On 
March 20, 2020, Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Prosperity), one 
of the respondents in this administrative review, timely submitted 
comments alleging a ministerial error in Commerce's Final Results.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 
85 FR 16613 (March 24, 2020) (Final Results).
    \2\ See Prosperity's Letter, ``Corrosion-Resistant Steel 
Products from Taiwan, 7/1/2017-6/30/2018 Administrative Review, Case 
No. A-583-856: Ministerial Error Comments,'' dated March 20, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Legal Framework

    A ministerial error, as defined in section 751(h) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), includes ``errors in addition, 
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting 
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other type 
of unintentional error which the administering authority considers 
ministerial.'' \3\ With respect to final results of administrative 
reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any 
comments received and, if appropriate, correct any ministerial error by 
amending . . . the final results of review. . . .''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ministerial Error

    Commerce committed an inadvertent, unintentional error within the 
meaning of section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with respect 
to our treatment of certain U.S. sales that were invoiced prior to the 
imposition of section 232 duties but entered after the imposition of 
the 232 duties. Specifically, we inadvertently treated the amount that 
Prosperity charged its customers to cover 232 duties as the amount of 
232

[[Page 23759]]

duties paid, and therefore mistakenly reduced, rather than increased, 
U.S. price by that amount. Accordingly, Commerce determines that, in 
accordance with section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e), it 
made a ministerial error in the Final Results. Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.224(e), Commerce is amending the Final Results to reflect the 
correction of this ministerial error in the calculation of the final 
margin assigned to Prosperity, which changes from 3.48 percent to 0.60 
percent.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products 
from Taiwan: Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd.--Amended Final 
Results Calculation in the 2017-2018 Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review,'' dated concurrently with this decision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amended Final Results of the Review

    As a result of correcting the ministerial error described above, 
Commerce determines that, for the period of July 1, 2017 through June 
30, 2018, the following weighted-average dumping margin exists:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                    Exporter/producer                         dumping
                                                              margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd.....................            0.60
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculation performed for these amended 
final results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Antidumping Duty Assessment

    Normally, Commerce would issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after the date of 
publication of these amended final results of review, to liquidate 
shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Prosperity 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the July 
1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 period of review. However, on April 8, 
2020, the Court enjoined liquidation of entries produced and exported 
by Prosperity, and imported by Prosperity Tieh USA, that are subject to 
the Final Results.\5\ Accordingly, Commerce will not instruct CBP to 
assess antidumping duties on those enjoined entries pending resolution 
of the associated liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Court issued a statutory injunction under case number 
16-00138 (April 8, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective 
retroactively for all shipments of subject merchandise that entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the March 24, 
2020, the date of publication of the Final Results of this 
administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for Prosperity will be equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin established in these amended final 
results of review; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated 
companies, including those for which Commerce may have determined they 
had no shipments during the POR, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed 
segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 
in this review or another completed segment of this proceeding, but the 
manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate 
established for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding 
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) if neither the 
exporter nor the manufacturer is a firm covered in this or any 
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit 
rate will be the ``all-others'' rate of 3.66 percent established in the 
amended final of the less-than-fair-value investigation.\6\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from Taiwan: Notice 
of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Determination of 
Antidumping Duty Investigation and Notice of Amended Final 
Determination of Investigation, 84 FR 6129 (February 26, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final 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 Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred and 
the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern 
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 
Timely written notification of return or destruction of APO materials 
or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure 
to comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a 
sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    The amended final results and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.224(e).
