From the Republic of Korea: Notice of 

Court Decision Not in Harmony With 

the Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; Notice of 

Amended Final Results 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: On December 18, 2023, the 

U.S. Court of International Trade (the 

Court or CIT) issued its final judgment 

in Hyundai Steel Company v. United 

States, Consol. Court No. 22–00138, Slip 

Op. 23–183, sustaining the U.S. 

Department of Commerce’s (Commerce) 

remand results pertaining to the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on certain 

oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from 

the Republic of Korea (Korea) covering 

the period September 1, 2019, through 

August 31, 2020. Commerce is notifying 

the public that the CIT’s final judgment 

is not in harmony with Commerce’s 

Final Results of the administrative 

review, and that Commerce is amending 

the Final Results with respect to the 

dumping margin assigned to AJU 

Besteel Co., Ltd. (AJU Besteel), Husteel 

Co., Ltd. (Husteel), Hyundai Steel 

Company (Hyundai Steel), and 

NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. (NEXTEEL).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 8, 2022, Commerce 

published its Final Results in the 2019– 

2020 AD administrative review of OCTG 

from Korea.1 In this administrative 

review, Commerce selected two 

mandatory respondents for individual 

examination: Hyundai Steel and SeAH 

Steel Corporation (SeAH). Commerce 

calculated weighted-average dumping 

margins of 19.54 percent for Hyundai 

Steel, 3.85 percent for SeAH, and 11.70 

percent for the non-examined 

companies in the Final Results.2

Hyundai Steel, AJU Besteel, Husteel, 

and NEXTEEL challenged the Final 

Results on multiple grounds.3

In its Remand Order, the Court 

sustained Commerce’s determination 

with respect to three issues: the use of 

proprietary third-country sales 

information pertaining to SeAH in 

calculations related to Hyundai Steel; 4

adjustments of reported general and 

administrative expenses of Hyundai 

Steel and its U.S. affiliate, Hyundai 

Steel USA, Inc.; 5 and the application of 

neutral facts available to adjust Hyundai 

Steel’s reported further manufacturing 

costs to account for yield loss.6

However, the Court remanded three of 

Commerce’s determinations for 

Commerce to reconsider the issues and 

reexamine the administrative record: 

1. The calculation of Hyundai Steel’s 

constructed export price (CEP) profit 

(for which Commerce requested a 

voluntary remand).7

2. The calculation of Hyundai Steel’s 

constructed value (CV) profit and selling 

expenses.8

3. The calculation of Hyundai Steel’s 

CV profit cap.9

In its final results of redetermination 

pursuant to the Remand Order issued 

on July 16, 2021, Commerce 

reconsidered the three determinations 

listed above.10 In the Redetermination, 

Commerce: 

1. Revised the methodology of 

calculation of CEP profit to rely on 

Hyundai Steel’s actual sales data.11

2. Continued to use SeAH’s thirdcountry market sales to Kuwait in 

calculating the CV profit and selling 

expenses.12

3. Continued to use SeAH’s thirdcountry market sales to Kuwait in 

calculating the CV profit cap.13

As a result, Commerce recalculated 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

for Hyundai Steel, which changed from 

19.54 percent to 9.63 percent.14

Consequently, the dumping margin 

applicable to the non-examined 

companies AJU Besteel, Husteel, and 

NEXTEEL changed from 11.70 percent 

to 6.74 percent.15

On December 18, 2023, the CIT issued 

its final judgment in Hyundai Steel 

Company v. United States, Consol. 

Court No. 22–00138, Slip Op. 23–183, 

fully sustaining Commerce’s 

Redetermination.16

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,17 as 

clarified by Diamond Sawblades,18 the 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 247 / Wednesday, December 27, 2023 / Notices 89371 

19See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal 

Circuit held that, pursuant to section 

516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), Commerce must 

publish a notice of a court decision not 

‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The 

Court’s December 18, 2023, judgment 

sustaining the Redetermination 

constitutes a final decision of the Court 

that is not in harmony with Commerce’s 

Final Results. This notice is published 

in fulfillment of the publication 

requirement of Timken. 

Amended Final Results 

Because there is now a final court 

decision, Commerce is amending the 

Final Results with respect to AJU 

Besteel, Husteel, Hyundai Steel, and 

NEXTEEL for the period September 1, 

2019, through August 31, 2020. The 

revised dumping margins are as follows: 

Exporter or producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Hyundai Steel Company ............. 9.63 

AJU Besteel Co., Ltd .................. 6.74 

Husteel Co., Ltd .......................... 6.74 

NEXTEEL Co., Ltd ..................... 6.74 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Because AJU Besteel, Husteel, 

Hyundai Steel, and NEXTEEL have each 

had a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., 

there have been final results published 

in a subsequent administrative review, 

we will not issue revised cash deposit 

instructions to U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). This notice will not 

affect the current cash deposit rates. 

Liquidation of Suspended Entries 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT order from liquidating 

entries that were produced and exported 

by AJU Besteel, Husteel, Hyundai Steel, 

or NEXTEEL, and were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption during the period 

September 1, 2019, through August 31, 

2020. Liquidation of these entries will 

remain enjoined pursuant to the terms 

of the injunction during the pendency of 

any appeals process. 

In the event the CIT’s ruling is not 

appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a 

final and conclusive court decision, 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

assess ADs on unliquidated entries of 

subject merchandise produced and 

exported by AJU Besteel, Husteel, 

Hyundai Steel, or NEXTEEL, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We 

will instruct CBP to assess ADs on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review when the importer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is not zero or 

de minimis. Where an importer-specific 

ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis,19 we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to ADs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516(A)(c) and 

(e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
