South Korea CTL Carbon Steel Plate: Final Results of CV Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the countervailing duty administrative review and a concurrent new shipper review on cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from South Korea (C-580-837) (here). Commerce found both companies under review, Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (DSM) and Hyundai Steel Company Ltd., received de minimis illegal subsidies during the period of review, assigning each a zero percent CV duty rate. Subject merchandise from DSM and Hyundai entered Jan. 1, 2014, through Dec. 31, 2014, will be liquidated without any assessment of CV duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from DSM and Hyundai will not be subject to CV duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Sept. 19.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except DSM and Hyundai), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CV rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate applies.

(The review period is 01/01/14 -- 12/31/14. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1603110032 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
