Only the exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters for which a review was not requested or the request was withdrawn (AD/CVDWeb Message # 3290406).
Commerce said it is rescinding this review for 52 companies (see the complete list in Appendix II of the notice) that had no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the review period. The agency also is rescinding the review for another two companies -- Lien Kuo Metal Industries Co., Ltd. and S More Steel Materials Co., Ltd. -- that had the requests for their review withdrawn.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for the seven companies remaining under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Tung Mung Development Co Ltd. | 21.1% |
| Yieh Trading Corporation | 21.1% |
| Non-Individually Examined Companies (applicable to the following 4 companies): Chia Far Industrial Factory Co., Ltd.; Ta Chen Stainless Pipe Company Ltd.; Tang Eng Iron Works Company, Ltd.; Yu Ting Industries Co., Ltd. | 21.1% |
Non-individually examined rate. Commerce is not individually investigating four companies subject to this review and instead preliminarily assigned them the rate assigned to Yieh Trading, one of the mandatory respondents, a rate that Commerce decided is reasonably reflective of the potential dumping margin for the non-selected companies.
No Shipments. Commerce found two companies -- Yieh United Steel Corporation (YUSCO) and Tung Mung -- had no shipments to the U.S. during the period under review. However, Commerce will continue to review the companies and make a determination in the final results. Tung Mung is a mandatory respondent. If Commerce continues this finding in its final results, cash deposit requirements for these two companies will not change as a result of this review. Any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the 12.61% all others rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise from the companies under review that was entered July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, AD on importers of subject merchandise entered during the period under review will be assessed at the rates described above.
(The period of review is 07/01/22 - 06/30/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
