We made two changes to the
preliminary margin calculation: (1) We
refined conversion costs by diameters
using ratios derived from the reported
production-line-month specific costs;
(2) we corrected the beginning date for
U.S. sales. For a full discussion of these
changes, see Comments 1 and 2 in the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed for the final results of review
within five days of the publication date
of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review.12 In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce calculated an
importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping assessment rate for POSCO
that is not zero or de minimis, and will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR

produced by POSCO for which it did
not know that the 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.13
Consistent with its recent notice,14
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 POSCO is
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for previously
investigated companies not
participating 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; (3) if the exporter was not
covered in this review or the
investigation, but the producer was
covered, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of subject merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 41.10 percent, the all-others rate
established in the original less-than-fairvalue investigation.15 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received from interested
parties on the Preliminary Results, we
made changes to the preliminary margin
calculations for Toyo Kohan.7
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, Commerce
determines that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 4.56 percent exists
for Toyo Kohan for the period May 1,
2018, through April 30, 2019.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Pursuant to
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Toyo Kohan
reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales such that we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the sales for which entered
value was reported. Where the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), 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.
Consistent with its recent notice,8
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is

Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 Toyo Kohan
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin that is 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 investigated
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit will continue
to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding in
which the company participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the cash
deposit rate established for the most
recently completed segment for the
producer of the subject merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 45.42 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.9
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 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.

Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, Commerce determines that a weighted-
average dumping margin of 4.56 percent exists for Toyo Kohan for the
period May 1, 2018, through April 30, 2019.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Toyo Kohan reported the
entered value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where
the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), 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.
Consistent with its recent notice,\8\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).

Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 Toyo Kohan will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin that is 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 investigated companies not participating in this review,
the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in
which the company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 45.42 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\9\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 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.
