For entries on or after July 28, the date these results were published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting a new CVD cash deposit rate of 3.51% for subject merchandise produced or exported by BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH and its cross-owned affiliates, the only company still covered by the review. Commerce said it made no changes to its preliminary results of this review.
Commerce found BGH to be cross-owned with BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH: Boschgotthardshutte O. Breyer GmbH; BGH Edelstahlwerke GmbH; RPS Rohstoff-, Press- und Schneidbetrieb Siegen GmbH; and SRG Schrott und Recycling GmbH.
For exporters of subject merchandise not under review (i.e., all except BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH, and its affiliates), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company.
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of CVD on importers of subject merchandise for entries Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023. Commerce will assess CVD on importers of entries from BGH Edelstahl companies at the determined CVD rate.
(The review period is 01/01/23 - 12/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2412180042 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
