Japan Hot-Rolled Steel Flat Products: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is amending the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain hot-rolled steel flat products from Japan (A-588-874), covering the period Oct. 1, 2020, through Sept. 30, 2021, based on the March 26 final decision in a court case challenging those final results. Commerce calculated a revised AD rate for Tokyo Steel Manufacturing Co., Ltd. of 5.2%, down from 7.72% in the original final results (see 2305030088). That new rate is applicable April 6.

However, because Tokyo Steel has a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review, Commerce will not issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP, and the current cash deposit rate for it won't change (see 2311060020 for preliminary results of the latest administrative review).
The notice also said that Commerce remains, at this time, "enjoined by [court] order from liquidating entries that were produced by Tokyo Steel and imported by Optima Steel International, LLC and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period October 1, 2020, through September 30, 2021. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process."
(The review period is 10/01/20 - 09/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information.)
