Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum and listed in 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
registered users at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed at
<a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record, including comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results and for the
reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made a
change to the calculation of Siderca's weighted-average dumping margin
for the final results of review.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period May 11, 2022, through October 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Siderca S.A.I.C............................................ 6.76
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to interested parties in
this review within five days after public announcement of the final
results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, 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.
Because Siderca's weighted-average final dumping margin is not zero
or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of
this review, we calculated an importer-specific assessment rate based
on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each
importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Siderca for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was
destined to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, 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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, the
following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the respondent will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company
not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the
investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 78.30 percent, the all-
others rate established in the investigation.\8\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order, 87 FR at 70786.

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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or 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 violation
subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: June 5, 2025.
