Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

the POSCO single entity and record 

information, we made certain changes to 

our preliminary calculation of the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the POSCO single entity. For a 

discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

determine the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

exists for the period May 1, 2021, 

through April 30, 2022:

POSCO International Corporation, POSCO MS, and 

certain distributors and service centers (i.e., 

Taechang Steel Co., Ltd. and Winsteel Co., Ltd.) are 

affiliated pursuant to section 771(33)(E) of the Act, 

and further that these companies should be treated 

as a single entity (collectively, the POSCO single 

entity) pursuant to 19 CFR 351.401(f). See 

Preliminary Results PDM at 1.

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations for these final results of 

review within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with section 

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries in accordance with 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.212(b). 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). 

Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is either zero 

or de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.5

Accordingly, because the final 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

POSCO in this review is zero percent, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. Consistent with 

Commerce’s clarification of its 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by the POSCO single entity 

for which it did not know the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.6

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash 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 the POSCO single 

entity will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review (i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company 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 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 (LTFV) investigation, but the 

producer is, 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 and exporters will continue 

to be 7.10 percent ad valorem, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.7

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 and/or 

countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

and/or countervailing duties occurred 

and the subsequent assessment of 

double antidumping duties, and/or an 

increase in the amount of antidumping 

duties by the amount of the 

countervailing duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: December 7, 2023.
