Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period January 4, 2016, through June 

30, 2017: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping

(percent) 

Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd./ 

Union Steel Manufacturing 

Co., Ltd 1 ................................. 4.14

Companies: 2

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage

(percent) 

Dongbu Steel Co., Ltd ................ 5.55 

POSCO ....................................... 5.55 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where the mandatory respondents 

reported the entered value for their U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

ad valorem duty assessment rates based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales to the total entered value of the 

sales for which entered value was 

reported. Where the mandatory 

respondents did not report entered 

value, we calculated the entered value 

in order to calculate the assessment rate. 

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 

rate is zero or de minimis, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

average 3 of the cash deposit rates 

calculated for the two mandatory 

respondents. 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.4

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 that 

established in the final results of this

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

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

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the 

underlying investigation, but the 

manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recent segment for the manufacturer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other manufacturers 

or exporters will continue to be 8.32 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the underlying investigation.5 These 

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) 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 double 

antidumping duties. 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
