The Commerce Department has released the final results of its countervailing duty administrative review on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from Vietnam (C-552-829). The agency calculated a new CVD cash deposit rate of zero percent for the one company under review, Bridgestone Tire Manufacturing Vietnam, LLC, the same as in the preliminary results. These final results will be used to set final assessments of CVD on importers for entries Nov. 10, 2020, through Dec. 31, 2021.
The Commerce Department has released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on forged steel fittings from Taiwan (A-583-863). The agency preliminarily calculated a zero percent AD rate for only company under review, Both-Well Steel Fittings, Co., Ltd. If Commerce's finding for Both-Well is continued in the final results, subject merchandise from Both-Well entered, Sept. 1, 2021, through Aug. 31, 2022, will be liquidated without AD duties. A new zero percent cash deposit rate for Both-Well would take effect upon publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce will make its final decision when it issues the final results of this review, currently due in January.
The Commerce Department is recognizing a name change for a South Korean company for the purposes of antidumping duties on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products (A-580-836) from South Korea, upholding its preliminary finding (see 2308290009) in the final results of a changed circumstances review. The agency found that the post-corporate reorganization Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. (Dongkuk Steel) is the successor-in-interest to the pre-reorganization Dongkuk Steel. The agency found that Dongkuk Steel continues to operate as the same business entity, including that there was no name change. Commerce said the new, post-reorganization Dongkuk Steel will inherit the AD cash deposit rate assigned to pre-reorganization Dongkuk Steel, currently 6.09%, for subject merchandise.
The Commerce Department looks set to recognize the name change of a South Korean company for the purposes of antidumping duties on certain corrosion-resistant steel products (CORE) (A-580-878) from South Korea. The agency preliminarily found that post-corporate reorganization Dongkuk Coated Metal Co., Ltd. (Dongkuk CM) is the successor-in-interest to the pre-reorganization Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. entity (Old Dongkuk Steel), in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency preliminarily found Dongkuk CM continues to operate as the same business entity. The company explained that the spin-off of two business units in the reorganization and other moves did not affect the management or internal organization structure, production, supplier relationships or customer base of the CORE products business. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, Dongkuk CM may inherit the AD rates assigned to Old Dongkuk Steel in the AD review.
