Italy Steel CTL Plate: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department is amending the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy (A-475-834) to correct a ministerial error in a calculation, which results in a lower AD cash deposit rate for some of the companies covered in the review.

The rate for NLMK Verona SpA was lowered from 1.47% to 0.9%, and that meant that the review average AD rate for eight non-individually reviewed companies also fell, from 4.43% to 3.95%. The rate for Officine Tecnosider s.r.l. remained the same.

In the review, Commerce is also setting final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered May 1, 2020, through April 30, 2021.

New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Jan. 26

For entries on or after Jan. 26, the date the amended final results are scheduled to be published in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by six companies, as follows:

ExporterAD Rate
NLMK Verona SpA0.9%
Officine Tecnosider s.r.l.20.44%
Arvedi Tubi Acciaio3.95%
C.M.T. Construzioni Meccaniche di Taglione Emilio & C. S.a.s.3.95%
O.ME.P SpA3.95%
Ofar SpA3.95%
Officine Meccaniche M.A.M. s.r.l3.95%
Sesa SpA3.95%
SZ Acroni D.o.o3.95%
Tim-Cop Doo Temerin3.95%

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate, but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate of 6.08% applies.

(The review period is 05/01/20 - 04/30/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2206080044 for a summary of the original final results of this administrative review.)
