SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 29, 2002, Commerce 

published the antidumping duty order 

on wire rod from Mexico in the Federal 

Register.1 On October 1, 2019, we 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the Order.2 On 

December 11, 2019, pursuant to section 

751(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce initiated 

an administrative review of the Order.3

On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

50 days.4 On July 21, 2020, Commerce 

tolled all deadlines in administrative 

reviews by an additional 60 days.5 On 

October 1, 2020, Commerce extended 

the deadline for the preliminary results 

to February 17, 2021.6 For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.7

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is wire rod, in coils, of approximately 

round cross section, 5.00 mm or more, 

but less than 19.00 mm, in solid crosssectional diameter. The subject 

merchandise is classifiable in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) primarily under 

the subheadings: 7213.91.3000, 

7213.91.3010, 7213.91.3011,

A full description of the scope of the 

Order is contained in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

The Initiation Notice listed AMLT as 

one of the producers/exporters under 

review.8 However, Commerce 

previously determined in a changed 

circumstances review that nearly all of 

AMLT’s assets were sold to 

ArcelorMittal Mexico and AMLT is no 

longer in operation.9 Therefore, because 

AMLT is no longer in existence and did 

not have entries during the relevant 

period, Commerce is partially 

rescinding this administrative review 

with respect to AMLT, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). 

The review will continue with respect 

to all other entities listed in the 

Initiation Notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Constructed export price was 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value was 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

content. A list of topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On January 8, 2020, Grupo Villacero 

S.A. de C.V. (Villacero) reported that it 

had no exports or sales of subject 

merchandise into the United States 

during the POR.10 On February 13, 

2020, Commerce submitted a nonshipment inquiry with U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) with regard 

to the Villacero Non-Shipment Claim, to 

which CBP responded that it found no 

shipments of subject merchandise by 

Villacero during the POR.11

Given that Villacero reported that it 

made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, and there is no information 

calling its claim into question, we 

preliminarily determine that Villacero 

made no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR. Consistent 

with Commerce’s practice, we will not 

rescind the review with respect to 

Villacero but, rather, will complete the 

review and issue instructions to CBP 

based on the final results.12

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the POR: 

Manufacturers/producers/ 

exporters 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margins 

(percent) 

Deacero S.A.P.I de C.V ............. 2.49 

Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V ... 2.49 

Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V ...... 2.49 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Deacero S.A.P.I de 

C.V. (i.e., the sole individually 

examined respondent in this review) is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).13 We will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent). Where either 

the respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 

or an importer-specific assessment rate 

is zero or de minimis, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The final results of this review shall be 

the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review where applicable. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review (i.e., 

Talleres y Aceros S.A. de C.V., and 

Ternium Mexico S.A. de C.V.), we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for the sole individually 

examined respondent in this review, 

Deacero. The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.14

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by each respondent 

which did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate of 20.11 percent 15 if there is 

no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 41 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 

For the company for which this 

review is rescinded, AMLT, 

antidumping duties shall be assessed at 

rates equal to the cash deposit rate of 

estimated antidumping duties required 

at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 

warehouse, for consumption. Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 41 days after the 

date of publication of this rescission 

notice in the Federal Register. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of wire rod from Mexico 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: 

(1) The cash deposit rate for the firms 

listed above will be equal to the 

dumping margins established in the 

final results of this review, except if the 

ultimate rates are de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rates will 

be zero; (2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered in 

this administrative review but covered 

in a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the producer or 

exporter participated; (3) if the exporter 

is not a firm covered in this review, a 

prior review, or the original less-thanfair-value investigation but the producer 

is, then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of the proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 20.11 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the antidumping duty 

investigation.16 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed in these preliminary results 

to parties in this proceeding within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice.17
