AD: Canada Carbon and Certain Alloy Steel Wire Rod

According to the ITA, parties have inquired as to whether all products produced by Stelco Inc. and Stelwire Ltd. (the Stelco Group), or only those both produced and exported by the Stelco Group, are excluded from the AD duty order. (The Stelco Group received a de minimis AD rate in the original AD duty investigation and was excluded from the AD duty order.)

The ITA has preliminarily determined that only merchandise both produced and exported by the Stelco Group is excluded from the AD duty order.

(The ITA notes that if these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this AD duty changed circumstances review, it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to exclude shipments of subject merchandise produced and exported by the Stelco Group from the order. The ITA states that for subject merchandise produced but not exported by the Stelco Group to collect a cash deposit equal to the rate established for the exporter, or if the exporter does not have its own rate, the "all others" rate of 8.11%.

The ITA further notes that for the period prior to the effective date of the final results of this AD duty changed circumstances review, it will instruct CBP to liquidate any entries of subject merchandise produced by the Stelco Group, regardless of exporter, without regard to AD duties.)

(This notice also serves as the initiation notice for this AD duty changed circumstances review. See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the review.)
