## Background

                    On August 7, 2024, Commerce published in the                     **Federal Register**                     its                     *Preliminary Determinations*                     that imports of AWC completed in Korea using certain AWC inputs manufactured in China are not covered by the scope of the AD and CVD                     *Orders*                     on AWC from China and that imports of AWC completed in Korea using certain AWC inputs are circumventing                     *Orders*                    .[1]                                          Pursuant to section 781(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on August 13, 2024, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of its preliminary affirmative determination of circumvention with respect to Korea.[2]                                          The ITC did not request consultations with Commerce. Between September 16 and 19, 2024, Commerce conducted verification of the questionnaire responses submitted by Pusan Cables & Engineering Co., Ltd. (Pusan).[3] 

                    On November 19, 2024, Gaon Cable Co., Ltd (Gaon Cable); Daewon Cable Co., Ltd. (Daewon Cable); Dong Il Electric Wire Co., Ltd. (Dong Il); and the domestic party Southwire Company LLC (Southwire) submitted case briefs.[4]                                          On November 26, 2024, Southwire and Pusan submitted rebuttal briefs.[5]                                          On December 12, 2024, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results of this circumvention and scope inquiry until January 8, 2025.[6]                                          On January 6, 2025, Commerce further extended the deadline for the final results of this circumvention and scope inquiry until January 17, 2025.[7]

##                     Scope of the Orders [9] 

                    The product covered by the scope of the                     *Orders*                     is AWC from China. For a full description of the scope of the                     *Orders, see*                     Appendix I of this notice.                

## Merchandise Subject to the Scope and Circumvention Inquiries

                    These inquiries cover AWC assembled or completed in Korea using Chinese-origin AWC inputs (                    *e.g.,*                     stranded wire and cables or unfinished AWC) that is subsequently exported from Korea to the United States (inquiry merchandise). These inquiries cover exports of AWC from Korea that are assembled or completed using inputs of Chinese origin which undergo further processing in Korea. For a full description of the merchandise subject to these scope and circumvention inquiries,                     *see*                     Appendix II of this notice.                

## Analysis of Comments Received

                    All issues raised in this inquiry are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as Appendix III. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made no changes to the                     *Preliminary Determinations*.                

## Methodology and Final Scope Ruling

                    Commerce conducted this scope inquiry in accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1), and it made no changes to its methodology for this final scope ruling. Specifically, as discussed in the                     *Preliminary Determinations,*                     Commerce finds that AWC produced in Korea using Chinese- origin inputs that does not satisfy the physical description of the scope of the                     *Orders*                     is not subject to the                     *Orders*                    .[10] 

## Methodology and Final Circumvention Determination

                    Commerce conducted this circumvention inquiry in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226. Commerce made no changes to its methodology for this final circumvention determination. Specifically, as discussed in the                     *Preliminary Determinations,*                     Commerce determines that U.S. imports of inquiry merchandise from Korea are circumventing the                     *Orders*                    .[11]                                          As a result, in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act, Commerce determines that the inquiry merchandise exported from Korea should be included within the scope of the                     *Orders*. Commerce is making this affirmative determination of circumvention of the                     *Orders*                     on a country-wide basis.                

                    We determine that Korean-origin AWC produced by Pusan with Chinese-origin aluminum production inputs are circumventing the                     *Orders*. We have also determined, consistent with 19 CFR 351.226(m), that it is appropriate to apply this affirmative circumvention finding on a country-wide basis. As a result, in accordance with section 781(a) of the Act, we determine that this merchandise is covered by the                     *Orders*. We have continued to apply the methodology relied upon for the                     *Preliminary Determinations,*                     including our use of facts available with adverse inferences (AFA) with respect to Daewon Cable, LS Cable & System, Taehwa Co., Ltd., TMC Co., and Gaon Cable pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, for our final determination. As AFA, we continue to determine that AWC exported to the United States by these five companies under AFA are circumventing the                     *Orders*. Furthermore, as AFA, we have determined that these companies are ineligible to certify that the AWC exported by these companies from Korea was produced using non-Chinese sourced inputs. For a detailed explanation of our determination,                     *see*                     the                     *Preliminary Determinations*                     and the Issues and Decision Memorandum.                

*See*                     the “Certified Entries,” “Certification,” and “Certification Requirements” sections, below, for details regarding the use of certifications.                     *See*                     the “Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements” section, below, for details regarding suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements.                

## Certified Entries

Entries for which importers have met the certification requirements described below and in Appendix IV of this notice will not be subject to suspension of liquidation, or the cash deposit requirements described below. Failure to comply with the applicable requisite certification requirements may result in the merchandise being subject to AD and CVD duties.

## Certification

                    Daewon Cable, Gaon Cable, LS Cable & System, Taehwa Co., Ltd., and TMC Co., Ltd. will not be permitted to certify that their merchandise was not produced from Chinese-origin inputs. For all entries of AWC from Korea produced or exported by these companies, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit at the rate applicable to the AD and CVD                     *Orders*                     on AWC from China,                     *i.e.,*                     the AD cash deposit rate established for China-wide entity (52.79 percent) and the CVD cash deposit rate established for all-others (33.44 percent). These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.                

To administer the final country-wide affirmative circumvention determination for Korea, Commerce has established importer and exporter certifications as provided for in Appendix IV to this notice. These certifications will permit eligible importers and exporters to establish that specific entries of AWC from Korea are not subject to suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits pursuant to these final country-wide affirmative determinations of circumvention because the merchandise was processed in Korea and does not incorporate Chinese-sourced aluminum wire rod, aluminum wire strand, or aluminum wire. Importers and exporters that claim that an entry of AWC is not subject to suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits because the merchandise was processed in Korea and does not incorporate Chinese-sourced aluminum wire rod, aluminum wire strand, or aluminum wire must certify that these products satisfy the requirements of these certification requirements as described in Appendix IV of this notice.

## Certification Requirements

                    Importers are required to complete and maintain the applicable importer certification, and maintain a copy of the applicable exporter certification, and retain all supporting documentation for both certifications. Unless otherwise specified, the importer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry. The importer, or the importer's agent, must submit both the importer's certification and the exporter's certification to CBP as part of                           ( print page 8185)                        the entry process by uploading them into the document imaging system (DIS) in ACE. Where the importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry process, the importer should obtain the entry summary number from the broker. Agents of the importer, such as brokers, however, are not permitted to certify on behalf of the importer.                

                    Exporters are required to complete and maintain the applicable exporter certification and provide the importer with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation (                    *e.g.,*                     invoice, purchase order, production records,                     *etc.*). The exporter certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time of shipment of the relevant entries. The exporter certification should be completed by the party selling the AWC that was manufactured in Korea to the United States.                

Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and any supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce, CBP, or both Commerce and CBP. Importers and exporters are required to maintain the certifications and supporting documentation until the later of: (1) the date that is five years after the latest entry date of the entries covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three years after the conclusion of any litigation in United States courts regarding such entries.

                    For all entries of AWC from Korea that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period October 19, 2023 (the date of initiation of these circumvention inquiries) through the date of publication of the                     *Preliminary Determinations*                     in the                     **Federal Register**                    , where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which liquidation has not become final), the relevant certification should be completed and signed.                

                    For unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not become final) of AWC that were declared as non-AD/CVD type entries (                    *e.g.,*                     type 01) and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in the United States during the period October 19, 2023 (the date of initiation of these circumvention inquiries) through the date of publication of the final determination in the                     **Federal Register**                    , for which none of the above certifications may be made, importers must file a Post Summary Correction with CBP, in accordance with CBP's regulations, regarding conversion of such entries from non-AD/CVD type entries to AD/CVD type entries (                    *e.g.,*                     type 01 to type 03). Importers should report those AD/CVD type entries using the third country CBP case numbers identified in the “Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements” section, below. The importer should post cash deposits on those entries consistent with the regulations governing post summary corrections that require payment of additional duties, including AD/CVD duties.                

                    If it is determined that an importer and/or exporter has not met the certification and/or related documentation requirements for certain entries, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend, pursuant to these final country-wide affirmative determinations of circumvention and the                     *Orders,*[12]                                          all unliquidated entries for which these requirements were not met and require the importer to post applicable AD and CVD cash deposits equal to the rates noted above.                

## Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements

                    Based on the affirmative country-wide determinations of circumvention, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(3), we will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties on unliquidated entries of AWC completed or assembled in Korea using Chinese-origin aluminum rod, aluminum wire, or aluminum wire strand, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 19, 2023, the date of publication of the                     *Initiation Notice*. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(3), we will direct CBP to continue the suspension of liquidation of previously suspended entries and to suspend liquidation of all entries of AWC completed and assembled in Korea from Chinese-origin aluminum rod, aluminum wire, or aluminum wire strand that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 19, 2023 (                    *i.e.,*                     the date of publication of the                     *Initiation Notice*                    ).[13] 

                    For all suspended U.S. entries of inquiry merchandise, the AD cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate for the China-wide entity (                    *i.e.,*                     52.79 percent).[14]                                          For all suspended U.S. entries of inquiry merchandise, the CVD cash deposit rate will be the all-others rate (                    *i.e.,*                     33.44 percent).[15]                                          Commerce has established the following third-country case numbers in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for such entries: Korea A-580-095-000/C-580-096-000.                

                    Cash deposits for exports of AWC from Korea already subject to the                     *Orders*                     should continue to be collected in accordance with existing CBP instructions and Chinese ACE numbers for such entries: A-570-095/C-570-096.                

These suspension of liquidation instructions and cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.

## Opportunity To Request an Administrative Review

                    Each year during the anniversary month of the publication of an AD or CVD order, finding, or suspended investigation, an interested party, as defined in section 771(9) of the Act, may request, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213, that Commerce conduct an administrative review of that AD or CVD order, finding, or suspended investigation.

## Appendix II

## Merchandise Subject to the Scope and Circumvention Inquiries

                        The scope and circumvention inquiries cover AWC completed in Korea using AWC inputs (                        *e.g.,*                         stranded wire and cables or unfinished AWC) of Chinese-origin that is subsequently exported to the United States.                    

Available evidence shows that AWC inputs from China are processed in Korea and subsequently exported to the United States. These inquiries cover exports of AWC made using inputs of Chinese-origin that undergo further processing in Korea.

                        These final determinations apply to all shipments of inquiry merchandise on or after the date of the initiation of these circumvention and scope inquiries (                        *i.e.,*                         October 19, 2023). Importers and exporters of AWC from Korea, even where determined to be out of scope, must still certify that merchandise is not subject to our country-wide finding of circumvention.[16]                                                  Otherwise, their merchandise may be subject to antidumping and countervailing duties.
