Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination, 86 FR 15887 (March 25, 2021) 

(Preliminary Determination). 

Countervailing Duty Order 

As noted above, on July 26, 2021, in 

accordance with section 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 subsidized imports of wind 

towers from Malaysia.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 wind 

towers from Malaysia are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from 

Malaysia, entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, are subject 

to the assessment of countervailing 

duties. 

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 wind towers from 

Malaysia. With the exception of entries 

occurring after the expiration of the 

provisional measures period and before 

the publication of the ITC’s final 

affirmative injury determination, as 

further described below, countervailing 

duties will be assessed on unliquidated 

entries of wind towers from Malaysia 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after March 25, 

2021, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination.4

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits 

In accordance with section 706 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of wind towers from Malaysia, as 

described in the appendix to this notice, 

effective on the date of publication of 

the ITC’s final affirmative injury 

determination in the Federal Register, 

and to assess, upon further instruction 

by Commerce, 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 below. 

On or after the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register, CBP must require, at 

the same time as importers would 

deposit estimated normal customs 

duties on this merchandise, a cash 

deposit equal to the rates listed in the 

table below. The all-others rate applies 

to all producers or exporters not 

specifically listed, as appropriate. 

Company Subsidy rate 

(percent) 

CS Wind Malaysia Sdn Bhd 6.42 

All Others .............................. 6.42 

Provisional Measures 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months. In the underlying 

investigation, Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination on March 25, 

2021. Therefore, the four-month period 

beginning on the date of the publication 

of the Preliminary Determination ended 

on July 22, 2021. 

In accordance with section 703(d) of 

the Act, we will instruct CBP to 

terminate the suspension of liquidation 

and to liquidate, without regard to 

countervailing duties, unliquidated 

entries of wind towers from Malaysia 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption after July 22, 2021, the 

final day on which the provisional 

measures were in effect, until and 

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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice constitutes the 

countervailing duty order with respect 

to wind towers from Malaysia pursuant 

to section 706(a) of the Act. Interested 

parties can find a list of countervailing 

duty orders currently in effect at http:// 

enforcement.trade.gov/stats/ 

iastats1.html. 

This order is issued and published in 

accordance with section 706(a) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.211(b). 

Dated: July 28, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance. 

Appendix 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this order 

consists of certain wind towers, whether or 

not tapered, and sections thereof. Certain 

wind towers support the nacelle and rotor 

blades in a wind turbine with a minimum 

rated electrical power generation capacity in 

excess of 100 kilowatts and with a minimum 

height of 50 meters measured from the base 

of the tower to the bottom of the nacelle (i.e., 

where the top of the tower and nacelle are 

joined) when fully assembled. 

A wind tower section consists of, at a 

minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into 

cylindrical or conical shapes and welded 

together (or otherwise attached) to form a 

steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish, 

painting, treatment, or method of 

manufacture, and with or without flanges, 

doors, or internal or external components 

(e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts, 

electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling, 

conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator, 

interior lighting, tool and storage lockers) 

attached to the wind tower section. Several 

wind tower sections are normally required to 

form a completed wind tower. 

Wind towers and sections thereof are 

included within the scope whether or not 

they are joined with nonsubject merchandise, 

such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether 

or not they have internal or external 

components attached to the subject 

merchandise. 

Specifically excluded from the scope are 

nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of 

whether they are attached to the wind tower. 

Also excluded are any internal or external 

components which are not attached to the 

wind towers or sections thereof, unless those 

components are shipped with the tower 

sections. 

Merchandise covered by this order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under 

subheading 7308.20.0020 or 8502.31.0000. 

Wind towers of iron or steel are classified 

under HTSUS 7308.20.0020 when imported 

separately as a tower or tower section(s). 

Wind towers may be classified under HTSUS 

8502.31.0000 when imported as combination 

goods with a wind turbine (i.e., 

accompanying nacelles and/or rotor blades). 

While the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this order 

is dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 21, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

Order.1 On April 8, 2019, Commerce 

revoked, in part, the Order with respect 

to grade 1078 and higher tire cord 

quality wire rod used in the production 

of tire cord wire.2 On June 13, 2019, 

Commerce revoked, in part, the Order 

with respect to valve spring quality 

(VSQ) wire rod.3

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).4 On July 10, 

2020, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated this review 

covering POSCO, the sole producer and 

exporter for which a review was 

requested.5

On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

preliminary and final results in 

administrative reviews by 60 days.6 On 

March 11, 2021 and June 17, 2021, we 

extended the deadline for issuing the 

preliminary results until July 30, 2021.7

For a detailed description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.8

Scope of the Order 

The scope of the Order includes 

certain hot-rolled products of carbon 

steel and alloy steel, in coils, of 

approximately round cross section, less 

than 19.00 mm in actual solid crosssectional diameter. Excluded from the 

scope are grade 1078 and higher tire 

cord quality wire rod to be used in the 

production of tire cord wire. Also, 

excluded from the scope are valve 

spring quality (VSQ) steel products 

which is defined as wire rod. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.9

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Act. Constructed export prices are 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. Normal value 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. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. 

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 http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Preliminary Results 

We preliminarily determine the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin for the period May 1, 2019, 

through April 30, 2020: 

Exporter and producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

POSCO ....................................... 7.51 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.10 The final results of this review 

shall be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by this review and 

for future deposits of estimated duties, 

where applicable.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). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where an examined respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent), we will calculate an importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rate based on the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

U.S. sales for a given importer to the 

total entered value of those sales. Where 

either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by POSCO for 

which it did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such unreviewed entries 

pursuant to the reseller policy,12 i.e., the 

assessment rate for such entries will be 

equal to the all-others rate established in 

the investigation (i.e., 41.10 percent), if 

there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for POSCO will be 

equal to POSCO’s weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review, except if the rate 

is less than 0.50 percent, and therefore 

de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated companies not 

participating in this review, the cash 

deposit will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, or the 

underlying investigation, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the 

completed segment for the most recent 

POR for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 41.10 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the 

underlying investigation.13 These 

deposit requirements, when imposed, 

shall remain in effect until further 

notice.

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Interested parties may submit case 

briefs no later than 30 days after the

parties.17 Note that Commerce has 

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.18

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 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS. An electronically-filed request

and telephone number; (2) the number 

of participants; and (3) a list of issues to 

be discussed. Issues raised in the 

hearing will be limited to issues raised 

in the briefs. If a request for a hearing 

is made, Commerce intends to hold the 

hearing at a date and time to be 

determined.20

Final Results of Review 

Commerce intends to issue the 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 publication 

of these preliminary results in the

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1), unless otherwise 

extended.21

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during this review 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
