Final Results of Review 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, within 120 days 

of publication of these preliminary 

results in the Federal Register.13

Verification 

On January 19, 2023, Nucor Tubular 

Products Inc., a domestic interested 

party, requested that Commerce conduct 

verification of the information 

submitted in the Maquilacero/TEFLU’s 

responses.14 Accordingly, as provided 

in section 782(i)(3) of the Act, 

Commerce intends to verify 

Maquilacero/TEFLU’s information that 

will be relied upon in determining the 

final results of review. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this administrative review, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise. 

For individually examined 

respondents whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), we 

will calculate importer-specific 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). 

If the respondent has not reported 

entered values, we will calculate a perunit assessment rate for each importer 

by dividing the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales made to that importer by the total 

quantity associated with those sales. To 

determine whether an importer-specific, 

per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an 

importer-specific ad valorem ratio based 

on estimated entered values. Where 

either a respondent’s weighted average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 

or an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.15

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by each 

individually examined respondent for 

which the producer did not know that 

the merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate (3.76 percent) if there is no rate for 

the intermediate company(ies) involved 

in the transaction.16

For those companies which were not 

individually examined, we will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties at an 

ad valorem rate equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin determined for 

the non-examined companies in the 

final results of this review. 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review 

where applicable. 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for each specific 

company listed above will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review, except if the rate 

is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, 

de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rates will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not participating in this 

review, 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 investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will continue to be the allothers rate of 3.76 percent.17

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed for these final results of 

review to the parties within five days 

after public announcement, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

review. For any individually examined 

respondents whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis, 

we calculated importer-specific ad 

valorem duty assessment rates based on 

the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the examined sales to that 

importer, and we will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this. 

Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), 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. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review in the 

Federal Register, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for companies subject to 

this review will be the rates established 

in these final results of the review; (2) 

for merchandise exported by producers 

or exporters not covered in this 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 recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation but the producer 

is, then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recent 

period for the producer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other producers or exporters will 

continue to be 12.45 percent,9 the allothers rate established in the 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order and countervailing duty 

(CVD) orders on certain cut-to-length 

carbon-quality steel plate (CTL plate) 

from India, Indonesia, and the Republic 

of Korea (Korea) would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of these AD and 

CVD orders.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 10, 2000, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD and CVD orders on certain CTL 

plate from India, Indonesia, and Korea.1

On February 1, 2023, the ITC 

instituted,2 and Commerce initiated,3

the fourth sunset reviews of the Orders, 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As 

a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

or countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies likely to 

prevail should the Orders be revoked.4

On August 28, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by the Orders 

are certain hot-rolled carbon-quality 

steel: (1) universal mill plates (i.e., flatrolled products rolled on four faces or 

in a closed box pass, of a width 

exceeding 150 mm but not exceeding 

1250 mm, and of a nominal or actual 

thickness of not less than 4 mm, which 

are cut-to-length (not in coils) and 

without patterns in relief), of iron or 

non-alloy-quality steel; and (2) flatrolled products, hot-rolled, of a nominal 

or actual thickness of 4.75 mm or more 

and of a width which exceeds 150 mm 

and measures at least twice the 

thickness, and which are cut-to-length 

(not in coils). 

Steel products to be included in the 

scope of the Orders are of rectangular, 

square, circular or other shape and of 

rectangular or non-rectangular crosssection where such non-rectangular 

cross-section is achieved subsequent to 

the rolling process (i.e., products which
