SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 12, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain 

corrosion-resistant steel products 

(CORE) from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea) and invited interested parties to 

comment.1 This administrative review 

covers 11 exporters and/or producers of 

the subject merchandise,2 of which we 

selected Dongkuk and Hyundai as 

mandatory respondents. On December 

9, 2024, Commerce tolled the deadline 

to issue the final results in this 

administrative review by 90 days.3

Accordingly, the deadline for these final 

results is now March 10, 2025. For a 

summary of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.4

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). 

Scope of the Order 5

The merchandise covered by this 

Order is CORE from Korea. For a full 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised by parties in the case 

and rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is provided 

in the appendix to this notice. The 

Issues and 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).

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on comments received from 

interested parties regarding our 

Preliminary Results, we made certain 

changes to the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margin calculation for 

Dongkuk,6 as well as the preliminary 

weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to the companies not selected 

for individual examination. 

Rates for Companies Not Selected for 

Individual Examination 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

individual companies not selected for 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in an investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which we did not 

individually examine in an 

administrative review. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act establishes a 

preference to avoid using rates which 

are zero, de minimis, or based entirely

8Commerce initiated this review on Dongkuk 

Steel Mill Co., Ltd. See Initiation of Antidumping 

and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 

88 FR 62322 (September 11, 2023). However, on 

November 16, 2023, Commerce concluded a

Mill Co., Ltd. finding that Dongkuk Coated Metal 

Co., Ltd. is its successor-in-interest. See Certain 

Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from the

on facts available (FA) in calculating an 

all-others rate. Accordingly, 

Commerce’s practice in administrative 

reviews has been to average the 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the companies selected for individual 

examination in the administrative 

review, excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on FA.7 For 

these final results of review, we 

calculated a zero weighted-average 

dumping margin for Hyundai and a 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Dongkuk that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on FA. Therefore, 

consistent with our practice, we have 

assigned the companies not selected for 

individual examination the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for 

Dongkuk. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the period July 1, 2022, through 

June 30, 2023:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with these 

final results within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of final results in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 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). Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), because Dongkuk 

reported the entered value of its U.S. 

sales, we calculated importer-specific 

ad valorem duty assessment rates based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales to the total entered value of the 

sales for which entered value was 

reported. Where an importer-specific 

assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent), the entries by that 

importer will be liquidated without 

regard to antidumping duties. Because 

the final weighted-average dumping 

margin for Hyundai is zero, we intend 

to instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.9

Consistent with Commerce’s 

clarification of its assessment practice, 

for entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by the abovereferenced respondents for which they 

did not know that the merchandise was 

destined for the United States, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at 

the all-others rate in the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (as 

amended) 10 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.11

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). 

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.12

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of CORE from Korea entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results as 

provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: 

(1) the cash deposit rate for each 

specific company listed above will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

the review; (2) for merchandise exported 

by producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

completed segment of the proceeding, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the company-specific rate established in 

the completed segment for the most 

recent period; (3) if the exporter is not 

a firm covered in this review or the 

original LTFV investigation, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period for the producer of the 

merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate 

for all other producers or exporters will

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this POR. Failure 

to comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping 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 (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an 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 terms of an APO is a 

violation subject to sanction.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

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

amended (the Act), on October 17, 2024, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register its affirmative final 

determination of sales at less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) in the investigation of 

truck and bus tires from Thailand.1 As 

part of its determination, Commerce 

made an affirmative crticial 

cirumstances finding for Bridgestone 

Corporation in the LTFV investigation. 

Pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, on 

December 2, 2024, the ITC notified 

Commerce of its affirmative final 

determination 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 

imports of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand that are sold in the United 

States at LTFV.2 On December 6, 2024, 

in accordance with section 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC published in the Federal 

Register its affirmative final injury 

determination in this investigation in 

which it found that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured by 

reason of imports of truck and bus tires 

from Thailand.3 In addition, the ITC 

found that critical circumstances do not 

exist with regard to imports of truck and 

bus tires from Thailand.4

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are truck and bus tires from Thailand. 

For a complete description of the scope 

of this order, see the appendix to this 

notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

Based on the above-referenced 

affirmative final determinations, in 

accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 

736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing this 

antidumping duty order. Moreover, 

because the ITC determined that U.S. 

imports of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Thailand, entered or 

withdrawn from warehouse for 

consumption, as described below, are 

subject to the assessment of 

antidumping duties. 

Therefore, 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 truck and bus tires 

from Thailand. With the exception of 

entries occurring after expiration of the 

provisional measures period, but before 

publication of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, as further 

described below, antidumping duties 

will be assessed on unliquidated U.S. 

entries of truck and bus tires from 

Thailand entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date on which the suspension of 

liquidation was first ordered. As 

discussed in the Final Determination, 

with respect to Prinx Chengshan Tire 

(Thailand) Co., Ltd. (Prinx) this date is 

October 17, 2024, the date of 

publication of the Final Determination 

in the Federal Register.5 With respect to 

Bridgestone Corporation and all other 

companies, this date is May 20, 2024, 

the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register.6
