SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 4, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in
the Federal Register.\1\ On September 23, 2024, we received a case

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties
raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum
is attached as the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the preliminary margin calculation for mandatory respondent,
Prosperity.\8\ Though we did not receive comment on the Preliminary
Results with respect to the preliminary margin calculated for the other
mandatory respondent subject to individual review, Sheng Yu Steel Co.,
Ltd. (SYSCO), we updated the margin calculation for SYSCO to
incorporate an updated sales database requested of SYSCO in the post-
preliminary stage of this review.\9\ However, the incorporation of
revised sales data from SYSCO into the preliminary margin calculation
resulted in no change to the preliminary margin calculated for it.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full description of these changes, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum; see also Memorandum, ``Final Results Margin
Calculation for Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd.,'' dated
concurrently with this notice.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The Act and Commerce's regulations do not directly address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to individual companies not
selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a market
economy investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for individual review in an
administrative review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-
others rate is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of
the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for
exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero
or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available{time} .''
For the final results of this administrative review, we calculated
a dumping margin of zero percent for SYSCO and 0.99 percent for
Prosperity. Thus, we assign to the non-selected company, Great Grandeul
Steel Company Limited (Samoa), a weighted-average dumping margin of
0.99 percent, based on the rate calculated for Prosperity, the only
rate that is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise
available.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30,
2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd..................................... 0.00
Prosperity Tieh Enterprise Co., Ltd......................... 0.99
Great Grandeul Steel Company Limited (Samoa)................ 0.99
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results to interested parties within five
days of the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review. The final results of this review shall be the basis for
the assessment of antidumping
[[Page 19281]]
duties on entries of merchandise covered by this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total
entered value reported for those sales. Where the respondent did not
report entered value, we calculated a per-unit assessment rate for each
importer by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for the
examined sales made to that importer by the total quantity associated
with those sales. To determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit
assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we also calculated an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on
estimated entered values. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by the
respondents for which they did not know that the merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
entries not reviewed at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\12\ For the
company which was not selected for individual examination, we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at an ad valorem assessment
rate equal to the dumping margin identified for Prosperity Tieh (i.e.,
the only rate calculated in this review which is not zero, de minimis,
or based entirely on facts available), in the ``Final Results of
Review'' section, above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of administrative review for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on, or after, the publication date of the final results
of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rates for the companies identified above in the ``Final
Results of Review'' section will be equal to the company-specific
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original investigation, but the producer has been
covered in a prior complete segment of this proceeding, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 11.04 percent,\13\
the all-others rate from the Third Amended Final Determination. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

of Third Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value Pursuant to Court Decision and Partial Exclusion From
Antidumping Duty Order, 88 FR 58245 (August 25, 2023) (Third Amended
Final Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the final reminder to parties subject to
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 1, 2025.
