Antidumping Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (the 

ITC), Commerce is issuing antidumping 

duty (AD) orders on carbon and alloy 

steel wire rod (wire rod) from Belarus, 

the Russian Federation (Russia), and the 

United Arab Emirates (the UAE). 

DATES: Applicable January 24, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on November 28, 2017, 

Commerce published affirmative final 

determinations in the less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigations of wire rod 

from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE.1 On 

January 11, 2018, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(d) of the Act, that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of 

the LTFV imports of wire rod from 

Belarus, Russia, and the UAE, and its 

determination that critical 

circumstances do not exist with respect 

to imports of wire rod from Russia 

subject to Commerce’s affirmative 

critical circumstances determination.2

Scope of the Orders 

The product covered by these orders 

is wire rod. For a complete description 

of the scope of these orders, see the 

Appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

In accordance with sections 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, the 

ITC notified Commerce of its final 

determination in these investigations, in 

which it found that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured by 

reasons of imports of wire rod from 

Belarus, Russia, and the UAE.3 The ITC 

also notified Commerce of its 

determination that critical 

circumstances do not exist with respect 

to imports of wire rod from Russia 

subject to Commerce’s critical 

circumstances finding.4 Therefore, in 

accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the 

Act, Commerce is issuing these AD 

orders. Because the ITC determined that 

imports of wire rod from Belarus, 

Russia, and the UAE are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from 

Belarus, Russia, and the UAE are subject 

to the assessment of antidumping 

duties. 

As a result of the ITC’s final 

determination, in accordance with 

section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce 

will direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price, or constructed 

export price, of the merchandise, for all 

relevant entries of wire rod from 

Belarus, Russia, and the UAE. 

Antidumping duties will be assessed on 

unliquidated entries of wire rod from 

Belarus, Russia, and the UAE entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after September 12, 

2017, the date of publication of the 

preliminary determinations,5 but will 

not include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures

7See Preliminary Determinations. 

8The Belarus-wide entity includes Byelorussian 

Steel Works, who was the sole mandatory 

respondent in the investigation of wire rod from 

Belarus and did not demonstrate that it was entitled 

to a separate rate. Accordingly, we consider the 

company to be part of the Belarus-wide entity. See 

Belarus Preliminary Determination, 82 FR at 42797, 

n.10. 

period and before publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register, as further described 

below. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all relevant entries of wire 

rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE. 

These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Commerce will also instruct CBP to 

require cash deposits equal to the 

amounts as indicated below. 

Accordingly, effective the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, CBP will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

the subject merchandise, a cash deposit 

equal to the cash deposit rates listed 

below.6 The relevant all-others rates 

apply to producers or exporters not 

specifically listed, as appropriate. 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

the suspension of liquidation pursuant 

to an affirmative preliminary 

determination may not remain in effect 

for more than four months, except 

where exporters representing a 

significant proportion of exports of the 

subject merchandise request that 

Commerce extend the four-month 

period to no more than six months. In 

reference to these proceedings, no such 

request was received from exporters of 

wire rod from Belarus, Russia, or the 

UAE. Commerce’s preliminary 

determinations were published on 

September 12, 2017.7 As such, the fourmonth period ended on January 9, 2018. 

Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, 

the collection of cash deposits at the 

rates listed below will begin on the date 

of publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, 

and the UAE entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption after 

January 9, 2018, the date on which 

provisional measures expired, through 

the day preceding the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Suspension of liquidation will resume 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final determination in the Federal 

Register. 

Critical Circumstances 

With regard to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination 

regarding imports of wire rod from 

Russia, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

lift suspension and refund any cash 

deposits made to secure payment of 

estimated antidumping duties on 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after June 14, 2017, 

(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of 

publication of the preliminary 

determinations), but before September 

12, 2017, (i.e., the date of publication of 

the preliminary determinations).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), on November 29, 2017, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determination that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of tool chests 

from China.1

On January 16, 2018, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative 

determination that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of 

subsidized imports of subject 

merchandise from China.2

Scope of the Order 

The scope of this order covers tool 

chests from China. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

Appendix to this notice. 

Countervailing Duty Order 

On January 16, 2018, in accordance 

with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determination in this 

investigation, in which it found that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of tool chests from China.3 Therefore, in 

accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the 

Act, Commerce is issuing this 

countervailing duty order. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of tool 

chests from China are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from China, 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of countervailing duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, countervailing duties for 

all relevant entries of tool chests from 

China. Countervailing duties will be 

assessed on unliquidated entries of tool 

chests from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after September 15, 

2017, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination 4 but will not 

include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination as 

further described below. 

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of tool chests from China. We will also 

instruct CBP to require, pursuant to 

section 706(a)(1) of the Act, 

countervailing duties for each entry of 

the subject merchandise in an amount 

based on the net countervailable 

subsidy rates for the subject 

merchandise. These instructions 

suspending liquidation will remain in 

effect until further notice. The all-others 

rate applies to all producers and 

exporters of subject merchandise not 

listed in the following table.
