Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were 
submitted by parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum and listed in the appendix to this notice.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made no changes 
to the Preliminary Results.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce found that HiSteel did not 
have shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR. No parties commented on this determination. Accordingly, for the 
final results of review, we continue to find that HiSteel made no 
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. 
Consistent with Commerce's practice,\7\ we intend to instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate any existing entries 
of subject merchandise produced by HiSteel, but exported by other 
parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at 
the all-others rate of 5.24 percent.\8\

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    For the rate for non-selected respondents 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 a 
market economy investigation, for guidance. 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{time} .'' For these final 
results, we calculated a dumping margin of 1.18 percent for SeAH and a 
zero dumping margin for Hyundai Steel Company, the mandatory 
respondents in this review. Consistent with our normal methodology, we 
have assigned to the companies not individually examined (see Appendix 
II for a full list of these companies) a margin of 1.18 percent, which 
is the margin calculated for SeAH.

Disclosure

    Because no changes were made to the Preliminary Results, no 
disclosure of calculations is necessary for these final results.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the 
final results of this review.
    Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, we 
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by 
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each 
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered 
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\10\ Where Commerce 
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total 
amount of dumping for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales 
quantity associated with those transactions, Commerce will direct CBP 
to assess importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates based on 
the resulting per-unit rates.\11\ Where an importer- (or customer-) 
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e., 
0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate 
duties at the time of liquidation.\12\ Where an importer- (or customer-
) specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\13\

    For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we 
will assign an assessment rate based on the methodology described in 
the ``Rates for Non-Examined Companies'' section, above.
    Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Hyundai Steel Company, 
SeAH, or the non-examined companies for which the producer did not know 
that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 
established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 
(i.e., 5.24 percent) \14\ if there is no 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.\16\ 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 for by section 751(a)(2)(C) 
of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the companies listed in 
these final results will be equal to the weighted-average dumping 
margins 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 segment of this proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published 
for the most recently completed segment in which the company was 
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer is, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the 
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 
producers or exporters will continue to be 5.24 percent,\17\ the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation. 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 
countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also 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 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 sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This administrative review and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: April 2, 2024.
Ryan Majerus,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance.
