Commerce has ordered liquidation as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry, for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review (i.e., all except the 23 listed in Commerce's notice) (ADCVDWeb Message # 4033424).
Commerce also said it is rescinding this review for three companies that had requests for review withdrawn: SeAH Steel VINA Corp., Hoa Sen Group, and Hoa Phat Steel Pipe Co Ltd.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some of the 23 companies under review, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Hyundai Steel Company | zero |
| Husteel Co., Ltd. | 1.21% |
| Companies Not Individually Examined (21 companies*) | 1.21% |
* Non-individually examined companies are listed in Appendix I of the notice.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate final AD duty assessments on importers of subject merchandise exported by the companies under review that was entered Nov. 1, 2022, through Oct. 31, 2023. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Hyundai will not be assessed AD, and importers of subject merchandise from Husteel will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. Importers from the other 21 companies under review would be assessed AD at the rate listed above.
(The period of review is 11/01/22 - 10/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
