South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and
Ukraine are materially injuring a U.S.
industry, unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia,
and Ukraine, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of PC strand from
Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa,
Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. With the
exception of entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures
period and before publication of the
ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described
below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of PC
strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia,
South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and
Ukraine entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after
November 19, 2020, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations.4
Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. These
instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct
CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins indicated in the tables
below. Accordingly, effective on the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC’s final
affirmative injury determinations, CBP
will require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
rates listed below. The relevant allothers rate applies to all producers or
exporters not specifically listed.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of PC strand from Indonesia, we
intend to instruct CBP to lift suspension
and to refund any cash deposits made
to secure the payment of estimated
antidumping duties with respect to
entries of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after August 21,
2020 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of
the publication of the Preliminary
Determinations), but before November
19, 2020 (i.e., the date of publication of
the Preliminary Determinations).
Provisional Measures
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP
to continue to suspend liquidation on
all relevant entries of PC strand from
Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa,
Section 733(d) of the Act states that
suspension of liquidation pursuant to an
affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months, except where exporters
representing a significant proportion of
29999
exports of the subject merchandise
request that Commerce extend the fourmonth period to no more than six
months. At the request of exporters that
account for a significant proportion of
PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia,
and Ukraine, Commerce extended the
four-month period to six months in each
of these investigations. Commerce
published the preliminary
determinations in these investigations
on November 19, 2020.5
The extended provisional measures
period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations, ends on May 17, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section
733(d) of the Act and our practice,6
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of PC strand from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain,
Tunisia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after May 17, 2021, the
final day on which the provisional
measures were in effect, until and
through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC’s final affirmative
injury determinations in the Federal
Register. Suspension of liquidation and
the collection of cash deposits will
resume on the date of publication of the
ITC’s final determinations in the
Federal Register.

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are PC strand from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. For a
complete description of the scope of these orders, see the appendix to
this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 24, 2021, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations in these
investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States
is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of
the Act by reason of imports of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine.\3\ Therefore, in
accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing these
antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports of PC
strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia,
[[Page 29999]]
South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South
Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine. With the exception of entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and
before publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determinations, as further described below, antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy,
Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after November 19,
2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determinations.\4\

at Less Than Fair Value and Preliminary Negative Determination of
Critical Circumstances, Postponement of Final Determination, and
Extension of Provisional Measures, 85 FR 73688 (November 19, 2020)
(collectively, Preliminary Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries
of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain,
Tunisia, and Ukraine. These instructions suspending liquidation will
remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in
the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in
the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determinations, CBP will require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated duties on subject merchandise, a cash
deposit equal to the rates listed below. The relevant all-others rate
applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed.
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances
determination on imports of PC strand from Indonesia, we intend to
instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to
secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to
entries of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after August 21, 2020 (i.e., 90 days
prior to the date of the publication of the Preliminary
Determinations), but before November 19, 2020 (i.e., the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations).
Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion
of PC strand from Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain,
Tunisia, and Ukraine, Commerce extended the four-month period to six
months in each of these investigations. Commerce published the
preliminary determinations in these investigations on November 19,
2020.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of
publication of the Preliminary Determinations, ends on May 17, 2021.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act and our
practice,\6\ Commerce intends to instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of PC strand from Indonesia,
Italy, Malaysia, South Africa, Spain, Tunisia, and Ukraine entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption after May 17, 2021, the final
day on which the provisional measures were in effect, until and through
the day preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final
affirmative injury determinations in the Federal Register. Suspension
of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will resume on the
date of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the Federal
Register.

Appendix--Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are prestressed concrete
steel wire strand (PC strand), produced from wire of non-stainless,
non-galvanized steel, which is suitable for use in prestressed
concrete (both pretensioned and post-tensioned) applications. The
product definition encompasses covered and uncovered strand and all
types, grades, and diameters of PC strand. PC strand is normally
sold in the United States in sizes ranging from 0.25 inches to 0.70
inches in diameter. PC strand made from galvanized wire is only
excluded from the scope if the zinc and/or zinc oxide coating meets
or exceeds the 0.40 oz./ft\2\ standard set forth in ASTM-A-475.
The PC strand subject to these orders are currently classifiable
under subheadings 7312.10.3010 and 7312.10.3012 of the Harmonized

subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive.
