Stainless Steel Wire Rod From Japan, 

the Republic of Korea, and Taiwan: 

Continuation of the Antidumping Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on stainless steel wire rod 

(SSWR) from Japan, the Republic of 

Korea (Korea), and Taiwan would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of these AD orders. 

DATES: Applicable February 24, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 15, 1998, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on SSWR from Japan, Korea, 

and Taiwan.1 On July 1, 2021, 

Commerce initiated,2 and the ITC 

instituted,3 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, pursuant to sections 

751(c)(1) and 752(c) of the Act, that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

dumping. Commerce, therefore, notified 

the ITC of the magnitude of the margins 

of dumping rates likely to prevail 

should these Orders be revoked.4

On February 16, 2022, the ITC 

published its determination that 

revocation of the Orders would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time, pursuant to sections 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders is SSWR, which comprises 

products that are hot-rolled or hot-rolled 

annealed and/or pickled and/or 

descaled rounds, squares, octagons, 

hexagons or other shapes, in coils, that 

may also be coated with a lubricant 

containing copper, lime or oxalate. 

SSWR is made of alloy steels 

containing, by weight, 1.2 percent or 

less of carbon and 10.5 percent or more 

of chromium, with or without other 

elements. These products are 

manufactured only by hot-rolling or hot 

rolling annealing, and/or pickling and/ 

or descaling, are normally sold in coiled 

form, and are of solid cross-section. The 

majority of SSWR sold in the United 

States is round in cross-sectional shape, 

annealed and pickled, and later cold 

finished into stainless steel wire or 

small-diameter bar. The most common 

size for such products is 5.5 millimeters 

or 0.217 inches in diameter, which 

represents the smallest size that 

normally is produced on a rolling mill 

and is the size that most wire-drawing 

machines are set up to draw. The range 

of SSWR sizes normally sold in the 

United States is between 0.20 inches 

and 1.312 inches in diameter. 

Two stainless steel grades are 

excluded from the scope of the Orders. 

SF20T and K–M35FL are excluded. The 

chemical makeup for the excluded 

grades is as follows: 

SF20T 

Carbon 0.05 max 

Manganese 2.00 max 

Phosphorous 0.05 max 

Sulfur 0.15 max 

Silicon 1.00 max 

Chromium 19.00/21.00 

Molybdenum 1.50/2.50 

Lead-added (0.10/0.30) 

Tellurium-added (0.03 min) 

K–M35FL 

Carbon 0.015 max 

Silicon 0.70/1.00 

Manganese 0.40 max 

Nickel 0.30 max 

Chromium 12.50/14.00 

Lead 0.10/0.30 

Phosphorous 0.04 max 

Sulfur 0.03 max 

Aluminum 0.20/0.35 

The products subject to the Orders are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

7221.00.0005, 7221.00.0015, 

7221.00.0030, 7221.00.0045, and 

7221.00.0075 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the Orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to 

initiate the next five-year (sunset) 

reviews of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to the fifth anniversary of the 

effective date of continuation. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return, destruction, or conversion to 

judicial protective order of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

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

Failure to comply is a violation of the 

APO which may be subject to sanctions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2021, based on a timely 

request for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review on washers from 

Mexico.1 This review covers one 

producer/exporter of the subject 

merchandise, Electrolux Home Products 

Corp. N.V. and Electrolux Home 

Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. 

(collectively, Electrolux). For a complete 

description of the events that followed 

the initiation of this review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

all large residential washers and certain 

subassemblies thereof from Mexico. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

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

Constructed export price is calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

NV is calculated in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically 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

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. A list 

of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as an appendix to this notice. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the respondent for the 

period February 1, 2020, through

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.4

to Commerce no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of this notice.5

Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 

in the case briefs, may be filed no later

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement

a request for a hearing is made, parties 

will be notified of the time and date for 

the hearing.11

An electronically filed document 

must be received successfully in its 

entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the established

final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any written 

briefs, not later than 120 days after the 

date of publication of this notice, unless 

otherwise extended.12

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.13 If the weighted average 

dumping margin for Electrolux is not 

zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for each importer’s examined sales to 

the total entered value of those same 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR
