The Commerce Department published the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on prestressed concrete steel wire strand from Malaysia (A-557-819). The agency modified its preliminary calculation method, based on comments received, but the final results didn't change the zero percent AD rate determined in the preliminary results for all four companies under review: Kiswire Sdn. Bhd.; Wei Dat Steel Wire Sdn. Bhd.; Southern Steel Sdn. Bhd.; and Southern PC Steel Sdn. Bhd. Commerce will liquidate entries from the four companies during the period Nov. 19, 2020, through May 31, 2022, without regard to AD, and future entries from the four won't be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice. The new rates take effect Jan. 3.
