South Korea Circular Welded Pipe: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is amending the final results of an antidumping duty administrative review on circular welded non-alloy steel pipe from South Korea (A-580-809) to revise its results so that they align with the Jan. 15 final decision in a court case that challenged rate calculations in those original final results. In that review, covering subject merchandise entered Nov. 1, 2019, through Oct. 31, 2020, Hyundai Steel Company was given a 1.97% AD rate, Husteel Co., Ltd. received a 4.07% AD rate, and 21 non-individually examined companies were given a review average rate of 3.21%.

The original final results were published May 4, 2022, after which Wheatland Tube appealed those results; the final results were remanded by the Court of International Trade to Commerce for review Aug. 3, 2023.
The revised rates are as follows, and are applicable as of Jan. 24:
| Producer/Exporter | Revised AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Hyundai Steel Company (also known as Hyundai Steel Corporation; Hyundai Steel; and Hyundai Steel (Pipe Division) | 2.42% |
| Husteel Co., Ltd. | 4.95% |
| Aju Besteel | 3.91% |
| Bookook Steel | 3.91% |
| Chang Won Bending | 3.91% |
| Dae Ryung | 3.91% |
| Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering | 3.91% |
| Daiduck Piping | 3.91% |
| Dong Yang Steel Pipe | 3.91% |
| Dongbu Steel (also known as Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd.) | 3.91% |
| Eew Korea Company | 3.91% |
| Hyundai Rb | 3.91% |
| Kiduck Industries | 3.91% |
| Kum Kang Kind | 3.91% |
| Kumsoo Connecting | 3.91% |
| Miju Steel Mfg (also known as Miju Steel Manufacturing) | 3.91% |
| Nexteel Co., Ltd. (also known as Nexteel) | 3.91% |
| Samkang M&T | 3.91% |
| Seah Fs | 3.91% |
| Seah Steel (also known as Seah Steel Corporation) | 3.91% |
| Steel Flower | 3.91% |
| Vesta Co., Ltd. | 3.91% |
| Ycp Co. | 3.91% |
But the amended results won't change the current cash deposit rate for Hyundai, Husteel, and each of the companies not selected for individual examination because the companies each have a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results published in a subsequent administrative review. Commerce won't issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP.
(The review period is 11/01/19 - 10/31/20. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2205030012 for a summary of the original final results and 2112060037 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
