period for issuing the final results of
this review until December 29, 2023.5
For a complete description of the events
that occurred since the Preliminary
Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.6 Commerce conducted
this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
This review covers 61 producers and/
or exporters of the subject merchandise.
Commerce selected two companies,
Lien Kuo Metal Industries Co., Ltd.
(Lien Kuo) and S More Steel Materials
Co., Ltd. (S More) for individual
examination.7 Four companies, Yieh
Mau Corporation (Yieh Mau), Yuen
Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (Yuen
Chang), and Yieh Phui Enterprise Co.,
Ltd. (Yieh Phui), and Yieh United Steel
Corporation (YUSCO) reported having
no shipments during the POR, see
‘‘Determination of No Shipments’’
section below. The remaining producers
and/or exporters not selected for
individual examination are listed in the
‘‘Final Results of the Review’’ section of
this notice.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order
is certain stainless steel sheet and strip
in coils from Taiwan. A complete
description of the scope of the Order is
contained in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
preliminarily determined that Yieh Mau
Corporation (Yieh Mau), Yieh Phui
Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Phui), Yuen
Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (Yuen
Chang), and Yieh United Steel
Corporation (YUSCO) made no
shipments of subject merchandise into
the United States during the POR.8 We
received no comments from interested
parties regarding our preliminary
determination and do not have any
information on the record to contradict
this determination. Therefore, we
continue to find that Yieh Mau, Yieh
Phui, Yuen Chang, and YUSCO made no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR. Accordingly, consistent
with Commerce’s practice, we intend to
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate any
existing entries of subject merchandise
produced by Yieh Mau, Yieh Phui,
Yuen Chang, or YUSCO, but exported
by other parties, at the rate for the
intermediate reseller, if available, or at
the all-others rate.9
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding the Preliminary
Results, we revised the weighted
average margin assigned to the
respondents not selected for individual
examination.10 For detailed
information, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
For the rate assigned to companies not
selected for individual examination in
an administrative review, generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others
rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the
weighted average of the estimated
weighted-average dumping margins
established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any

zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’ Under section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated
dumping margins established for all
exporters and producers individually
investigated are zero or de minimis
margins, or are determined entirely
under section 776, the administering
authority may use any reasonable
method to establish the estimated allothers rate for exporters and producers
not individually investigated, including
averaging the dumping margins
determined for the exporters and
producers individually investigated.
For the final results of this
administrative review, we continue to
base the weighted-average dumping
margins for Lien Kuo and S More the
mandatory respondents in this review,
entirely on facts otherwise available
with adverse inferences (AFA).
However, while we preliminarily found
that it was not appropriate to assign this
rate to the non-selected companies
under review, for these final results of
review, we find that the mandatory
respondents’ AFA rate is reasonably
reflective of non-selected companies’
potential dumping margins during the
POR. Therefore, we are assigning a
margin of 21.10 percent to the
companies not individually examined
(see Appendix II for a full list of these
companies). For further discussion, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we
determine that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the
period July 1, 2021, through June 30,
2022: 11

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. For the
companies that were not selected for
individual examination, we will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties at the
assessment rate assigned to the
companies, based on the methodology
described in the ‘‘Rate for Non-Selected
Companies’’ section, above. 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.12
As indicated above, for Yieh Mau,
Yieh Phui, Yuen Chang, and YUSCO,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate any
existing entries of merchandise
produced by these companies, but
exported by other parties, at the rate for
the intermediate reseller, if available, or
at the all-others rate.
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

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 Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
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), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. 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 terms of an APO is a violation
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) 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 comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we revised the
weighted average margin assigned to the respondents not selected for
individual examination.\10\ For detailed information, see the Issues
and Decision Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Respondents
For the rate assigned to companies not selected for individual
examination in an administrative review, generally, Commerce looks to
section 735(c)(5) of the Act which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation. Under section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an amount
equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping
margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any
[[Page 903]]
zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .'' Under section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Act, if the estimated dumping margins established for all exporters and
producers individually investigated are zero or de minimis margins, or
are determined entirely under section 776, the administering authority
may use any reasonable method to establish the estimated all-others
rate for exporters and producers not individually investigated,
including averaging the dumping margins determined for the exporters
and producers individually investigated.
For the final results of this administrative review, we continue to
base the weighted-average dumping margins for Lien Kuo and S More the
mandatory respondents in this review, entirely on facts otherwise
available with adverse inferences (AFA). However, while we
preliminarily found that it was not appropriate to assign this rate to
the non-selected companies under review, for these final results of
review, we find that the mandatory respondents' AFA rate is reasonably
reflective of non-selected companies' potential dumping margins during
the POR. Therefore, we are assigning a margin of 21.10 percent to the
companies not individually examined (see Appendix II for a full list of
these companies). For further discussion, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period July 1, 2021,
through June 30, 2022: \11\

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the final results within five days of any
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of the notice of the final results in
the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because Commerce applied total AFA to the mandatory respondents in this
administrative review, and the applied AFA rate is based on a rate
calculated for a respondent in a prior segment of this proceeding,
there are no calculations to disclose.
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. For the companies
that were not selected for individual examination, we will instruct CBP
to assess antidumping duties at the assessment rate assigned to the
companies, based on the methodology described in the ``Rate for Non-
Selected Companies'' section, above. 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.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As indicated above, for Yieh Mau, Yieh Phui, Yuen Chang, and YUSCO,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise
produced by these companies, but exported by other parties, at the rate
for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.
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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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 date of publication 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 subject to this review
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this 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 in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 12.61 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation for this
proceeding.\13\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
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 terms of an APO is a violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
