China Corrosion-Resistant Steel: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department on March 25 released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on corrosion-resistant steel products from China (A-570-026). Commerce found the only three companies under review -- Nippon Steel and Sumikin Sales Vietnam Co., Ltd. (NSSVC), Hoa Sen Group (HSG) and Ton Dong A Corporation (TDA) -- had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, the AD cash deposit rates for NSSVC, HSG and TDA will remain at the rates set for these company in the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the original final determination or a prior administrative review).

Because Commerce found that NSSVC, HSG and TDA had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period under review, any suspended entries that entered under their antidumping duty case numbers during the period July 1, 2018, through June 30, 2019, will be assessed AD duties at the 199.43% China-wide rate, it said.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except NSSVC, HSG and TDA), cash deposit rates will also remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies.
(The review period is 07/01/18 - 06/30/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2011240018 for a summary of the preliminary results of this AD administrative review.
