Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments
received from parties, and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum, Commerce
made certain changes to the Preliminary
Results. Specifically, we revised our
treatment of Shin Yang’s purchases of
hot-rolled coil from its affiliate.5 In
addition, we used the updated U.S.
sales database provided by Shin Yang
on March 3, 2020.6 However, these
revisions did not result in a change to
the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Shin Yang in these final
results of review.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for Shin Yang for the POR
from May 1, 2018 through April 30,
2019:
Producer/exporter
Dumping
margin

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed for these final results to
interested parties in this proceeding
within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, AD
duties on all appropriate entries of
subject merchandise in accordance with
the final results of this review.
For Shin Yang, because its weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce has calculated importerspecific (or customer-specific)
antidumping duty assessment rates for
merchandise subject to this review.7 We
calculated importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales of

these amounts by the total sales quantity
associated with those sales.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Shin Yang for
which the company 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 involved in the
transaction. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review in the Federal
Register.
