The Commerce Department is correcting the final results of two antidumping duty administrative reviews on hot-rolled steel flat products from South Korea (A-580-883), to say that the all-others cash deposit rate is 6.05%, rather than the 5.55% that appeared in Federal Register notices of the final results. "We incorrectly identified the cash deposit rate for all others (i.e., “for all other producers or exporters”) as 5.55 percent. The correct all-others cash deposit rate applicable during the 2016 – 2017 and 2017 – 2018 periods of review did not change from the rate that was established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation and the antidumping duty order," Commerce said.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on emulsion styrene butadiene rubber from Mexico (A-201-848), making no changes to its preliminary results. Commerce set an AD rate of 2.65% for Industrias Negromex S.A. de C.V., the only company under review. Commerce will calculate importer-specific rates for subject merchandise from Negromex entered from Sept. 1, 2019, through Aug. 31, 2020, it said. The new AD duty cash deposit rate for Negromex takes effect Feb. 10, when the final results are published in the Federal Register.

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on magnesium metal from China (A-570-896). Commerce continued to find that both companies under review -- Tianjin Magnesium International, Co., Ltd. (TMI) and Tianjin Magnesium Metal Co., Ltd. (TMM) -- had no shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, AD cash deposit rates for these two companies will remain at the rates set for each company in the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the original final determination or a prior administrative review).
