5Cladding is the association of layers of metals 

of different colors or natures by molecular 

interpenetration of the surfaces in contact. This 

limited diffusion is characteristic of clad products 

and differentiates them from products metalized in 

other manners (e.g., by normal electroplating). The 

various cladding processes include pouring molten 

cladding metal onto the basic metal followed by 

rolling; simple hot-rolling of the cladding metal to 

ensure efficient welding to the basic metal; any 

other method of deposition of superimposing of the 

cladding metal followed by any mechanical or 

thermal process to ensure welding (e.g., 

electrocladding), in which the cladding metal 

(nickel, chromium, etc.) is applied to the basic 

metal by electroplating, molecular interpenetration 

of the surfaces in contact then being obtained by 

heat treatment at the appropriate temperature with 

subsequent cold rolling. See Harmonized

Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on clad steel plate from Japan 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing a notice 

of continuation of the antidumping duty 

order. 

DATES: Applicable December 18, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 2, 1996, Commerce published 

the antidumping duty order on clad 

steel plate from Japan.1 On January 2, 

2018, Commerce initiated and the ITC 

instituted the fourth sunset review of 

the antidumping duty order on clad 

steel plate from Japan, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act).2 As a result of its 

review, Commerce determined that 

revocation of the antidumping duty 

order on clad steel plate from Japan 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and, therefore, 

notified the ITC of the magnitude of the 

margins likely to prevail should the 

order be revoked.3 On December 12, 

2018, the ITC published its 

determination, pursuant to section 

751(c) of the Act, that revocation of the 

antidumping duty order on clad steel 

plate from Japan would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.4

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the order is all clad 5

steel plate of a width of 600 millimeters 

(mm) or more and a composite thickness 

of 4.5 mm or more. Clad steel plate is 

a rectangular finished steel mill product 

consisting of a layer of cladding material 

(usually stainless steel or nickel) which 

is metallurgically bonded to a base or 

backing of ferrous metal (usually carbon 

or low alloy steel) where the latter 

predominates by weight. 

Stainless clad steel plate is 

manufactured to American Society for 

Testing and Materials (ASTM) 

specifications A263 (400 series stainless 

types) and A264 (300 series stainless 

types). Nickel and nickel-base alloy clad 

steel plate is manufactured to ASTM 

specification A265. These specifications 

are illustrative but not necessarily allinclusive. 

Clad steel plate within the scope of 

the order is classifiable under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) 7210.90.10.00. 

Although the HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the antidumping duty order on clad 

steel plate from Japan would likely lead 

to a continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, pursuant 

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the antidumping duty 

order on clad steel plate from Japan. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect antidumping duty 

cash deposits at the rates in effect at the 

time of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. The effective date of the 

continuation of the order will be the 

date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of continuation. 

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act, 

Commerce intends to initiate the next 

five-year review of the order not later 

than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return/destruction or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions. 

This five-year sunset review and this 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).
