Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this
review are listed in Appendix I to this

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
For reasons explained in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum, we made a
change to the calculation of Hyundai
Steel’s U.S. credit expense. For a more
detailed discussion of the changes, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that HiSteel Co., Ltd
(HiSteel) had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR. No party
commented on this issue and because
we have not received any information to
contradict our preliminary finding, we
continue to find that HiSteel did not
have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and intend
to issue appropriate instructions to U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on the final results of this review.

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. For any individually examined
respondents whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis,
we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales to the total entered
value of the examined sales to that
importer, and we will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this.
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

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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to 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 the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that HiSteel Co.,
Ltd (HiSteel) had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
No party commented on this issue and because we have not received any
information to contradict our preliminary finding, we continue to find
that HiSteel did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during
the POR and intend to issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) based on the final results of this review.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
individual 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 a market
economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual examination in an
administrative review. 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} .'' In this review, we calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin for the mandatory respondents, Husteel
and Hyundai Steel, that are 0.65 and 0.85 percent, respectively, and we
have assigned to the non-selected companies a rate of 0.75 percent,
which is the weighted-average dumping margin of Husteel and Hyundai
Steel, weighted by their publicly ranged U.S. sales values.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the dumping margins calculated
for the examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the dumping
margins calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-
average of the dumping margins calculated for the examined
respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sale
quantities for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters.

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results to parties in this proceeding within five days of
the date of publication of this notice, 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),
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. For
any individually examined respondents whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the examined sales to that importer, and we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this. 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.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Husteel or Hyundai Steel for which they did not know that the
merchandise was destined to the United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 4.80 percent, if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 in the Federal Register, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for
companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
[[Page 48145]]
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior 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 is, 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
producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent,\9\ the all-
others rate established in the 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 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 duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
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 the
terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 30, 2024.
