Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.14

For entries that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by 

HengTong, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the rate for 

the China-wide entity.15

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.16 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). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

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

For HengTong, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is de minimis, then cash deposit rate 

will be zero); (2) for previously 

examined China and non-China 

exporters not listed above that at the 

time of entry are eligible for a separate 

rate based on a prior completed segment 

of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the existing 

exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3) 

for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate at the 

time of entry, the cash deposit rate will 

be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 

235.93 percent); and (4) for all nonChina exporters of subject merchandise 

which at the time of entry are not 

eligible for a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate applicable 

to the China exporter that supplied that 

non-China exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary reminder to importers of 

their responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during the POR. 

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 

This administrative review and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 

351.221(b)(4).

Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh 

From Mexico: Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on the affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing an antidumping 

duty (AD) order on standard steel 

welded wire mesh (wire mesh) from 

Mexico. 

DATES: Applicable August 9, 2021.

and Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue

respectively. 

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 June 23, 2021, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determination in the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation of wire mesh from 

Mexico.1 On July 30, 2021, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative 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 the LTFV imports of wire 

mesh from Mexico.2

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is wire mesh from Mexico. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

order, see the appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On July 30, 2021, in accordance with 

sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its 

final determination that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

by reason of imports of wire mesh from 

Mexico.3 Therefore, Commerce is 

issuing this AD order in accordance 

with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the 

Act. Because the ITC determined that 

imports of wire mesh from Mexico are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Mexico, which are 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

As a result of the ITC’s final 

affirmative 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 mesh from Mexico. For entries of 

wire mesh from Mexico, the cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties have been adjusted for export 

subsidies found in the final 

determination of the companion 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1

Mexico: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination, 86 FR 10034 (February 18, 2021) 

(CVD Final Determination). 5See Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh from 

Mexico: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of 

Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Postponement of 

Final Determination, and, Extension of Provisional 

Measures, 86 FR 7710 (February 1, 2021) 

(Preliminary Determination). 6See section 736(a)(3) of the Act. 

7 In the companion CVD investigation, Commerce 

calculated a 1.03 percent export subsidy rate for 

Aceromex, S.A. de C.V. (Aceromex) and for all 

other producers and exporters under the program 

‘‘Eighth Rule Permit Program.’’ See CVD Final 

Determination, and accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum at 10. Because we 

determined the LTFV all-others rate based on 

Aceromex’s estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin, the export subsidy offset for all other 

producers and exporters is the lesser of the export 

subsidy rate for Aceromex and the export subsidy 

rate for all other producers and exporters in the 

CVD preliminary determination (i.e., 1.03 percent). 

The cash deposit rate for Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. 

is equal to the petition rate (110.42 percent) 

adjusted for the lowest rate of export subsidies 

found for any company in the most recentlycompleted segment in the companion CVD 

proceeding (i.e., 1.03 percent related to the Eighth 

Rule Permit Program).

investigation.4 Antidumping duties will 

be assessed on unliquidated entries of 

wire mesh from Mexico entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after February 1, 

2021, the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination,5 but will 

not include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before publication in the 

Federal Register of the ITC’s injury 

determination, as further described 

below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

continue to suspend liquidation on all 

relevant entries of wire mesh from 

Mexico as described in the appendix to 

this notice which are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the ITC’s notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

These instructions suspending 

liquidation will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

We will also instruct CBP to require 

cash deposits equal to the amount as 

indicated below. Accordingly, effective 

on the date of publication in the Federal 

Register of the ITC’s final affirmative 

injury determination, CBP will require, 

at the same time as importers would 

normally deposit estimated duties on 

this subject merchandise, a cash deposit 

equal to the cash deposit for estimated 

antidumping duties based on the ad 

valorem cash deposit rates listed 

below.6 The relevant all-others rate 

applies to all producers or exporters not 

specifically listed, as appropriate. 

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping 

Margins 

The estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for the AD order are 

as follows: 

Exporter/producer

weighted-average 

dumping margin

All Others ..................................................................................................................................................... 23.04 22.01 

Provisional Measures 

Section 733(d) of the Act states that 

suspension of liquidation pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months, except that Commerce may 

extend the four-month period to no 

more than six months at the request of 

exporters representing a significant 

proportion of exports of the subject 

merchandise. At the request of exporters 

that account for a significant proportion 

of exports of wire mesh from Mexico, 

we extended the four-month period to 

six months in the Preliminary 

Determination published on February 1, 

2021. 

The extended provisional measures 

period, beginning on the date of 

publication of the Preliminary 

Determination, ended on July 30, 2021. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

733(d) of the Act and our practice, we 

will instruct CBP to terminate the 

suspension of liquidation and to 

liquidate, without regard to 

antidumping duties, unliquidated 

entries of wire mesh from Mexico 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption after July 30, 2021, the 

final day 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

and Compliance. 

Appendix—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is uncoated standard welded 

steel reinforcement wire mesh (wire mesh) 

produced from smooth or deformed wire. 

Subject wire mesh is produced in square and 

rectangular grids of uniformly spaced steel 

wires that are welded at all intersections. 

Sizes are specified by combining the spacing 

of the wires in inches or millimeters and the 

wire cross-sectional area in hundredths of 

square inch or millimeters squared. Subject 

wire mesh may be packaged and sold in rolls 

or in sheets. 

Subject wire mesh is currently produced to 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M, which 

covers carbon-steel wire and welded wire 

reinforcement, smooth and deformed, for 

concrete in the following seven styles: 

1. 6X6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 

2. 6X6 W2.1/W2.1 or D2.1/D2.1 

3. 6X6 W2.9/W2.9 or D2.9/D2.9 

4. 6X6 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

5. 6X12 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

6. 4X4 W2.9/W2.9 or D2.9/D2.9 

7. 4X4 W4/W4 or D4/D4 

The first number in the style denotes the 

nominal spacing between the longitudinal 

wires and the second number denotes the 

nominal spacing between the transverse 

wires. In the first style listed above, for 

example, ‘‘6X6’’ denotes a grid size of six 

inches by six inches. ‘‘W’’ denotes the use of 

smooth wire, and ‘‘D’’ denotes the use of 

deformed wire in making the mesh. The 

number following the W or D denotes the 

nominal cross-sectional area of the transverse 

and longitudinal wires in hundredths of a 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 150 / Monday, August 9, 2021 / Notices 43527 

square inch (i.e., W1.4 or D1.4 is .014 square 

inches). 

Smooth wire is wire that has a uniform 

cross-sectional diameter throughout the 

length of the wire. 

Deformed wire is wire with indentations or 

raised transverse ribs, which results in wire 

that does not have a uniform cross-sectional 

diameter throughout the length of the wire. 

Rolls of subject wire mesh are produced in 

the following styles and nominal width and 

length combinations: 

Style: 6X6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 (i.e., 10 

gauge) 

Roll Sizes: 

5′ X 50′ 

5′ X 150′ 

6′ X 150′ 

5′ X 200′ 

7′ X 200′

Style: 6X6 W2.1/W2.1 or D2.1/D2.1 (i.e., 8 

gauge) 

Roll Sizes: 

5′ X 150′ 

Style: 6X6 W2.9/W2.9 or D2.9/D2.9 (i.e., 6 

gauge) 

Roll Sizes: 

5′ X 150′ 

7′ X 200′ 

All rolled wire mesh is included in scope 

regardless of length.

Any product imported, sold, or invoiced in 

one of these size combinations is within the 

scope. 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M 

provides for permissible variations in wire 

gauges, the spacing between transverse and 

longitudinal wires, and the length and width 

combinations. To the extent a roll or sheet of 

welded wire mesh falls within these 

permissible variations, it is within this scope. 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M also 

defines permissible oversteeling, which is the 

use of a heavier gauge wire with a larger 

cross-sectional area than nominally specified. 

It also permits a wire diameter tolerance of 

± 0.003 inches for products up to W5/D5 and 

± 0.004 for sizes over W5/D5. A producer 

may oversteel by increasing smooth or 

deformed wire diameter up to two whole 

number size increments on Table 1 of A1064. 

Subject wire mesh has the following actual 

wire diameter ranges, which account for both 

oversteeling and diameter tolerance: 

W/D No. 

Maximum 

oversteeling 

No. 

Diameter range 

(inch) 

1.4 (i.e., 10 gauge) ..................................................................... 3.4 0.093 to 0.211. 

2.1 (i.e., 8 gauge) ....................................................................... 4.1 0.161 to 0.231. 

2.9 (i.e., 6 gauge) ....................................................................... 4.9 0.189 to 0.253. 

4.0 (i.e., 4 gauge) ....................................................................... 6.0 0.223 to 0.280. 

To the extent a roll or sheet of welded wire 

mesh falls within the permissible variations 

provided above, it is within this scope. 

In addition to the tolerances permitted in 

ASTM specification A1064/A1064M, wire 

mesh within this scope includes 

combinations where: 

1. A width and/or length combination 

varies by ± one grid size in any direction, i.e., 

± 6 inches in length or width where the wire 

mesh’s grid size is ‘‘6X6’’; and/or 

2. The center-to-center spacing between 

individual wires may vary by up to one 

quarter of an inch from the nominal grid size 

specified. 

Length is measured from the ends of any 

wire and width is measured between the 

center-line of end longitudinal wires. 

Additionally, although the subject wire 

mesh typically meets ASTM A1064/A1064M, 

the failure to include certifications, test 

reports or other documentation establishing 

that the product meets this specification does 

not remove the product from the scope. Wire 

mesh made to comparable foreign 

specifications (e.g., DIN, JIS, etc.) or 

proprietary specifications is included in the 

scope. 

Excluded from the scope is wire mesh that 

is galvanized (i.e., coated with zinc) or coated 

with an epoxy coating. In order to be 

excluded as galvanized, the excluded welded 

wire mesh must have a zinc coating thickness 

meeting the requirements of ASTM 

specification A641/A641M. Epoxy coating is 

a mix of epoxy resin and hardener that can 

be applied to the surface of steel wire. 

Merchandise subject to this investigation 

are classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

categories 7314.20.0000 and 7314.39.0000. 

While HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

investigation is dispositive.
