regard to antidumping duties. Because
the final weighted-average dumping
margin for Hyundai Steel Company is
zero percent, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.11
Consistent with Commerce’s
clarification of its assessment practice,
for entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the abovereferenced respondents for which they
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 in the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (as
amended) 12 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.13
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).
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 and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.14

a firm covered in this review or the
original LTFV investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established in the

period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 8.31 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation (as amended) in this
proceeding.15 These cash 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 and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this POR. Failure
to comply with this requirement could
result in Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties, and/or an increase
in the amount of antidumping duties by
the amount of the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction 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 the return or destruction
of APO materials, or conversion to
judicial protective order, is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and terms of an APO is a
violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results of administrative review in
accordance with sections 751(a) and
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
analysis of the comments received from
Prosperity, we made changes to the
preliminary weighted-average dumping
margins calculations for Prosperity and
Yieh Phui. For detailed information, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
preliminarily determined that Synn
made no shipments of subject
merchandise into the United States
during the POR.6 As we have not
received any information to contradict
this determination, nor comment in
opposition to our preliminary finding,
we continue to determine that Synn
made no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. Consistent
with our practice, we will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate any existing entries of subject
merchandise produced by Synn, but
exported by other parties, at the rate for
the intermediate reseller, if available, or
at the all-others rate.7
Rate for Respondent Not Selected for
Individual Examination
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to
individual respondents not selected for
examination when Commerce limits its
examination in an administrative review
pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the
Act. Generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the
all-others rate in an investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for
respondents which we did not examine
in an administrative review. Section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the allothers rate shall be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins of
those exporters and producers
individually examined, excluding any
rates which are zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on facts available (FA).
Accordingly, Commerce’s practice in
administrative reviews has been to
average the weighted-average dumping
margins for the companies selected for
individual examination in the
administrative review, excluding rates

that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on FA.8 For these final results
of review, we calculated weightedaverage dumping margins for both
mandatory respondents which are not
zero, de minimis, or determined entirely
on the basis of FA.9 Accordingly,
Commerce assigns to the company not
examined in this review (i.e., Sheng Yu
Steel Co., Ltd.) a dumping margin of
3.38 percent, which is the weighted
average of the dumping margins
calculated using the public ranged sales
data of Prosperity and Yieh Phui.

We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the respondents for the period
July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2021:

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce will determine, and 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), we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty

and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 16.
9 In the case of two mandatory respondents, our
practice is to calculate: (A) a weighted average of
the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping
margins calculated for the mandatory respondents;
and (C) a weighted average of the dumping margins
calculated for the mandatory respondents using
each company’s publicly ranged values for the
merchandise under consideration. We compare (B)
and (C) to (A) and select the rate closest to (A) as
the most appropriate rate for all other companies.

assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales to the total
entered value of those sales. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage 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.10 For entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by the mandatory respondents
for which they did not know their
merchandise was destined for the
United States, or for entries associated
with Synn, which had no shipments
during the POR, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
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 and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.11
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

statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).

Rate for Respondent Not Selected for Individual Examination
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual respondents not
selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents
which we did not examine in an administrative review. Section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the all-others rate shall be equal
to the weighted-average dumping margins of those exporters and
producers individually examined, excluding any rates which are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available (FA). Accordingly,
Commerce's practice in administrative reviews has been to average the
weighted-average dumping margins for the companies selected for
individual examination in the administrative review, excluding rates
that are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on FA.\8\ For these final
results of review, we calculated weighted-average dumping margins for
both mandatory respondents which are not zero, de minimis, or
determined entirely on the basis of FA.\9\ Accordingly, Commerce
assigns to the company not examined in this review (i.e., Sheng Yu
Steel Co., Ltd.) a dumping margin of 3.38 percent, which is the
weighted average of the dumping margins calculated using the public
ranged sales data of Prosperity and Yieh Phui.

Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews and Rescission of Reviews in
Part, 73 FR 52823, 52824 (September 11, 2008), and accompanying
Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 16.
\9\ In the case of two mandatory respondents, our practice is to
calculate: (A) a weighted average of the dumping margins calculated
for the mandatory respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping
margins calculated for the mandatory respondents; and (C) a weighted
average of the dumping margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents using each company's publicly ranged values for the
merchandise under consideration. We compare (B) and (C) to (A) and
select the rate closest to (A) as the most appropriate rate for all
other companies. See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic
Products from Taiwan: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2014-2016, 82 FR 31555, 31556 (July 7, 2017).
We have applied that practice here.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the respondents for the period July 1, 2020, through June 30,
2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd......................... 3.64
Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd..................................... 3.38
Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd............................... 2.88
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations and
analysis performed for these final results within five days of the date
of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and 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), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty
[[Page 7410]]
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those
sales. Where either 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.\10\ For entries of subject merchandise during the
POR produced by the mandatory respondents for which they did not know
their merchandise was destined for the United States, or for entries
associated with Synn, which had no shipments during the POR, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ In these final 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 Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77
FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the companies listed above will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins established in the
final results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation, but the
producer has been covered in a prior complete segment of this
proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for
the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 3.66 percent,\12\ the all-others rate from the Amended
Final Determination. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/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
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 27, 2023.
