SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 26, 2023, Commerce 

published its Preliminary 

Determination 1 in the Federal Register. 

Commerce invited parties to comment 

on the Preliminary Determination.2

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the Preliminary 

Determination, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.3 The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is made available to the 

public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tin mill products from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

During the course of this 

investigation, Commerce received scope 

comments from parties. Commerce 

issued a Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.4

We received comments from parties on 

the Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum, which we address in the 

Final Scope Decision Memorandum.5

We did not make any changes to the 

scope of the investigation from the 

scope published in the Preliminary 

Determination, as noted in Appendix I. 

Analysis of Subsidy Programs and 

Comments Received 

The subsidy programs under 

investigation, and the issues raised in 

the case and rebuttal briefs that were 

submitted by parties in this 

investigation, are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. For a list of 

the issues raised by interested parties 

and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, see Appendix 

II. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

701 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found to be 

countervailable, Commerce determines 

that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial 

contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.6 For a 

full description of the methodology 

underlying our final determination, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

In making this final determination, 

Commerce relied, in part, on facts 

otherwise available, pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. For 

a full discussion of our application of 

adverse facts available (AFA), see the 

section ‘‘Use of Facts Available and 

Adverse Inferences’’ in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied on in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, in August 2023, we took 

additional steps in lieu of on-site 

verifications to verify the information 

relied upon in making this final 

determination, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Act, by conducting 

virtual verification of one of the 

mandatory respondents, Shougang 

Jingtang United Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. 

(Jingtang Iron). 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with sections 703(e)(1), 

and 776(a) and (b) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.206, as well as our analysis of 

comments received regarding our 

affirmative preliminary determination of 

critical circumstances,7 Commerce 

continues to find that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of tin mill products from China 

for one of the mandatory respondents, 

Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. (Baoshan 

Iron). In addition, we continue to find 

that critical circumstances do not exist 

with respect to imports of tin mill 

products from Jingtang Iron and 

companies not individually examined. 

For a full description of the 

methodology and results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the information at verification and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we made changes to the subsidy 

rate calculations for Jingtang Iron. For a 

discussion of the comments received, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.

9See Countervailing Duty Investigation of Tin 

Mill Products from the People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Determination of Critical 

Circumstances, in Part, 88 FR 46738 (July 20, 2023). 

All-Others Rate 

Pursuant to section 705(c)(5)(A)(i) of 

the Act, Commerce will determine an 

all-others rate equal to the weightedaverage countervailable subsidy rates 

established for exporters and/or 

producers individually investigated, 

excluding any zero and de minimis 

countervailable subsidy rates, and any 

rates determined entirely under section 

776 of the Act. In this investigation, 

Commerce calculated a total subsidy 

rate for Baoshan Iron determined 

entirely under section 776 of the Act. 

Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available is the rate calculated 

for Jingtang Iron. Consequently, the rate 

calculated for Jingtang Iron is also 

assigned as the rate for all other 

producers and exporters. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated countervailable 

subsidy rates exist: 8

Company 

Subsidy rate 

(percent ad 

valorem) 

Baoshan Iron & Steel Co., 

Ltd ..................................... 649.98

Iron & Steel Co., Ltd ......... 331.88 

All Others .............................. 331.88 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in this final determination 

within five days of any public 

announcement or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of the publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

As a result of our Preliminary 

Determination and pursuant to sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, we 

instructed U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation 

of entries of subject merchandise from 

China that were entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption, on or 

after June 26, 2023, the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination in the Federal Register. 

Because we preliminarily determined 

that critical circumstances existed with 

respect to Baoshan Iron, we instructed 

CBP to suspend such entries on or after 

March 28, 2023, which is 90 days prior 

to the date of the publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register.9 In accordance with 

section 703(d) of the Act, we instructed 

CBP to discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation of all entries of subject 

merchandise entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse, on or after October 24, 2023. 

If the U.S. International Trade 

Commission (ITC) issues a final 

affirmative injury determination, we 

will issue a countervailing duty (CVD) 

order, reinstate the suspension of 

liquidation under section 706(a) of the 

Act, and require a cash deposit of 

estimated CVDs for entries of subject 

merchandise in the amounts indicated 

above. If the ITC determines that 

material injury, or threat of material 

injury, does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated, and all estimated 

duties deposited or securities posted as 

a result of the suspension of liquidation 

will be refunded or canceled. 

ITC Notification 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the ITC of our 

final affirmative determination that 

countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

pressure washers from China. Because 

the final determination in this 

proceeding is affirmative, in accordance 

with section 705(b) of the Act, the ITC 

will make its final determination as to 

whether the domestic industry in the 

United States is materially injured, or 

threatened with material injury, by 

reason of imports of pressure washers 

from China no later than 45 days after 

our final determination. In addition, we 

are making available to the ITC all nonprivileged and nonproprietary 

information related to this investigation. 

We will allow the ITC access to all 

privileged and business proprietary 

information in our files, provided the 

ITC confirms that it will not disclose 

such information, either publicly or 

under an administrative protective order 

(APO), without the written consent of 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. If the ITC determines 

that material injury or threat of material 

injury does not exist, this proceeding 

will be terminated and all cash deposits 

will be refunded. If the ITC determines 

that such injury does exist, Commerce 

will issue a CVD order directing CBP to 

assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, CVDs on all imports of the 

subject merchandise that are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Administrative Protective Order 

In the event that the ITC issues a final 

negative injury determination, this 

notice will serve as the only reminder 

to parties subject to an APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 705(d) 

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

351.210(c). 

Dated: January 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 22, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary determination in the LTFV 

investigation of tin mill products from 

the UK, in which it also postponed the 

final determination until January 4, 

2024.1 Commerce invited interested 

parties to submit case and rebuttal briefs 

on the Preliminary Determination.2 No 

interested party submitted comments. 

Accordingly, the final determination of 

the LTFV investigation remains 

unchanged from the Preliminary 

Determination and no Issues and 

Decision Memorandum accompanies 

this notice. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tin mill products from 

the UK. For a complete description of 

the scope of this investigation, see the 

appendix to this notice. 

Scope Comments 

During the course of this 

investigation, Commerce received scope 

comments from parties. Commerce 

issued a Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope specific case and rebuttal briefs.3

We received comments from parties on 

the Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum, which we address in the 

Final Scope Decision Memorandum.4

We did not make any changes to the 

scope of the investigation from the 

scope published in the Preliminary 

Determination, as noted in the appendix 

to this notice. 

Verification 

Commerce conducted verification of 

the information relied upon in making 

its final determination in this 

investigation, in accordance with 

section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act). Specifically, 

Commerce conducted on-site 

verifications of the home market sales, 

U.S. sales, and cost of production 

responses submitted by Tata Steel UK 

Ltd. (TSUK).5

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

During the on-site verification, TSUK 

presented minor corrections to its home 

market and U.S. sales databases.6 We 

accepted these minor corrections and 

included these changes in the margin 

calculations for the final 

determination.7 These minor corrections 

did not result in a change to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin calculated for TSUK from the 

Preliminary Determination. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the final 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin exists: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Tata Steel UK Ltd ......................... 0.00 

Consistent with sections 735(c)(1)(B) 

and (c)(5) of the Act, Commerce has not 

calculated an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters because it has 

not made an affirmative final 

determination of sales at LTFV. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this final 

determination within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In the Preliminary Determination, the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for TSUK was zero percent and, 

therefore, we did not suspend 

liquidation of entries of tin mill 

products from the UK.8 Because 

Commerce has made a final negative 

determination of sales at LTFV with
