Background

    On April 10, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register its 
preliminary affirmative determination in the LTFV investigation of CORE 
from Brazil,\1\ in which we also postponed the final determination 
until August 25, 2025, and invited interested parties to comment on the 
Preliminary Determination.\2\ On July 17, 2025, Commerce issued a post-
preliminary analysis memorandum in which we made certain changes to our 
differential pricing analysis.\3\ We invited interested parties to 
comment on the changes to the differential pricing analysis.\4\

Verification

    Commerce conducted verification of the information relied upon in 
making its final determination in this investigation, in accordance 
with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 
Specifically, we conducted on-site verifications of the sales and cost 
information submitted by CSN \9\ and Usiminas \10\ for use in our final 
determination.\11\ We used standard verification procedures, including 
an examination of relevant sales and accounting records, and original 
source documents provided by CSN and Usiminas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ We preliminarily found that Companhia Siderurgica Nacional 
and Companhia Metalurgica Prada (Prada) (collectively, CSN) should 
be treated as a single entity. See Preliminary Determination PDM at 
4-5; see also Memorandum, ``Preliminary Affiliation and Collapsing 
Memorandum for Companhia Siderurgica Nacional,'' dated April 3, 
2025. No interested party commented on this finding, and we continue 
to find these companies should be treated as a single entity for our 
final determination.
    \10\ We preliminarily found that Usinas Siderurgicas de Minas 
Gerais S.A.; Unigal Ltda. (Unigal); and Solu[ccedil]oes em Aco 
Usiminas (Solucoes) (collectively, Usiminas) should be treated as a 
single entity. See Preliminary Determination PDM at 5; see also 
Memorandum, ``Preliminary Affiliation and Collapsing Memorandum for 
Usiminas Siderurgicas de Minas Gerais S.A.,'' dated April 3, 2025. 
No interested party commented on this finding, and we continue to 
find these companies should be treated as a single entity for our 
final determination.
    \11\ See Memoranda, ``Verification of the Sales Questionnaire 
Responses of Companhia Siderurgica Nacional,'' dated June 2, 2025;

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by 
interested parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice at Appendix II.

Final Determination of the Single Entity

    In the Preliminary Determination, we found that CSN is affiliated 
with Prada, and Usiminas is affiliated with Unigal and Solucoes, and 
that each should be treated as single entities, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.401(f).\12\ No interested party commented on these preliminary 
findings. As the record contains no other information or evidence that 
calls into question our preliminary findings, we adopt the reasoning 
and findings of fact outlined in the Preliminary Determination with 
respect to this issue. Therefore, we continue to find that CSN and 
Prada should be treated as a single entity, and that Usiminas, Unigal, 
and Solucoes should be treated as a single entity, for the purpose of 
this proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Preliminary Determination PDM at 5-6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    We have made certain changes to the margin calculations for CSN and 
Usiminas since the Preliminary Determination. For a discussion of these 
changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

All-Others Rate

    Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that Commerce shall 
determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers 
not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the 
weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 
established for exporters and producers individually investigated, 
excluding any

[[Page 42221]]

zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under 
section 776 of the Act.
    In this investigation, Commerce calculated estimated weighted-
average dumping margins for CSN and Usiminas that are not zero, de 
minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available. Therefore, 
Commerce calculated the all-others rate using a weighted average of the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the examined 
respondents using each company's publicly-ranged values for the 
merchandise under consideration.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ With two respondents under examination, Commerce normally 
calculates: (A) a weighted-average of the estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins calculated for the examined respondents; (B) a 
simple average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins 
calculated for the examined respondents; and (C) a weighted-average 
of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the 
examined respondents using each company's publicly-ranged U.S. sales 
values for the merchandise under consideration. Commerce then 
compares (B) and (C) to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as 
the most appropriate rate for all other producers and exporters. 
See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany, 
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances 
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53662 
(September 1, 2010), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum 
at Comment 1. As complete publicly ranged sales data were available, 
Commerce based the all-others rate on the publicly ranged sales data 
of the mandatory respondents. For a complete analysis of the data, 
see Memorandum, ``Final Affirmative Determination in the Less-Than-
Fair-Value Investigation of Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel 
Products from Brazil: All-Others Rate Calculation Memorandum,'' 
dated concurrently with this Federal Register notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margins exist:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ CSN received a final net subsidy rate in the companion 
countervailing duty (CVD) investigation; however, none of the 
countervailable subsidies were export-contingent. Therefore, no CVD 
offset/adjustment is being made to CSN's cash deposit rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis 
performed in connection with this final determination to interested 
parties within five days of any public announcement 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).

Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of all entries of CORE, as described in Appendix I 
of this notice, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after April 10, 2025, the date of publication of the 
Preliminary Determination in the Federal Register.
    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(d), upon publication of this notice, Commerce will instruct CBP 
to require a cash deposit for estimated antidumping duties as follows: 
(1) the cash deposit rate for the companies listed in the table above 
that exported the subject merchandise will be equal to the company-
specific estimated weighted-average dumping margins determined in this 
final determination; (2) if the exporter is not a company identified in 
the table above, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will 
be equal to the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin established for that producer; and (3) the cash deposit rate for 
all other producers and exporters will be equal to the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters 
listed in the table above. These suspension of liquidation instructions 
will remain in effect until further notice.
    To determine the cash deposit rate, Commerce normally adjusts the 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin by the amount of export 
subsidies countervailed in a companion CVD investigation, when CVD 
provisional measures are in effect. Accordingly, because Commerce made 
an affirmative final determination for countervailable export 
subsidies, Commerce has offset the estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin by the appropriate export subsidy rate. Any such adjusted cash 
deposit rate may be found in the ``Final Determination'' section above. 
However, the suspension of liquidation of provisional measures in the 
companion CVD case has been discontinued.\15\ Therefore, we are not 
instructing CBP to collect cash deposits based on the adjusted 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin for export subsidies at this 
time. If the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) makes a final 
affirmative determination of injury due to both dumping and subsidies, 
then the cash deposit rate will be revised effective on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final affirmative determination in the Federal 
Register to be the company-specific estimated weighted-average dumping 
margin adjusted for export subsidies.

Determination, 90 FR 9228 (February 10, 2025); see also section 
703(d) of the Act, which states that the provisional measures may 
not be in effect for more than four months, which in the companion 
CVD case is 120 days after the publication of the preliminary 
determination, or June 9, 2025 (i.e., the last day provisional 
measures are in effect); and CBP Message 5162402, ``Discontinuation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ITC Notification

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the ITC of its final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. 
Because the final determination is affirmative, in accordance with 
section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination 
as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially 
injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of imports or 
sales (or the likelihood of sales) for importation of CORE from the 
Brazil no later than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC 
determines that such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be 
terminated, all cash deposits posted will be refunded, and suspension 
of liquidation will be lifted. If the ITC determines that such injury 
does exist, Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order directing CBP 
to assess, upon further instruction by

[[Page 42222]]

Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of CORE from Brazil 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
effective date of the suspension of liquidation, as discussed in the 
``Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation'' section above.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an 
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 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 sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This final determination and notice are issued and published 
pursuant to sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.210(c).

Appendix I

Scope of the Investigation

    The products covered by this investigation are certain flat-
rolled steel products, either clad, plated, or coated with 
corrosion-resistant metals such as zinc, aluminum, or zinc-, 
aluminum-, nickel- or iron-based alloys, whether or not corrugated 
or painted, varnished, laminated, or coated with plastics or other 
non-metallic substances in addition to the metallic coating. The 
products covered include coils that have a width of 12.7 mm or 
greater, regardless of form of coil (e.g., in successively 
superimposed layers, spirally oscillating, etc.). The products 
covered also include products not in coils (e.g., in straight 
lengths) of a thickness less than 4.75 mm and a width that is 12.7 
mm or greater and that measures at least 10 times the thickness. The 
products covered also include products not in coils (e.g., in 
straight lengths) of a thickness of 4.75 mm or more and a width 
exceeding 150 mm and measuring at least twice the thickness. The 
products described above may be rectangular, square, circular, or 
other shape and include products of either rectangular or non-
rectangular cross-section where such cross-section is achieved 
subsequent to the rolling process, i.e., products which have been 
``worked after rolling'' (e.g., products which have been beveled or 
rounded at the edges).
    For purposes of the width and thickness requirements referenced 
above:
    (1) Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is 
within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual 
measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions 
set forth above, and
    (2) where the width and thickness vary for a specific product 
(e.g., the thickness of certain products with non-rectangular cross-
section, the width of certain products with non-rectangular shape, 
etc.), the measurement at its greatest width or thickness applies.
    Steel products included in the scope of this investigation are 
products in which:
    (1) iron predominates, by weight, over each of the other 
contained elements; and (2) the carbon content is 2 percent or less, 
by weight.
    Subject merchandise also includes corrosion-resistant steel that 
has been further processed in a third country, including but not 
limited to annealing, tempering, painting, varnishing, trimming, 
cutting, punching and/or slitting or any other processing that would 
not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the 
investigation if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-
scope corrosion resistant steel.
    All products that meet the written physical description are 
within the scope of this investigation unless specifically excluded. 
The following products are outside of and/or specifically excluded 
from the scope of this investigation:
    <bullet> Flat-rolled steel products either plated or coated with 
tin, lead, chromium, chromium oxides, both tin and lead (``terne 
plate'') or both chromium and chromium oxides (``tin free steel''), 
whether or not painted, varnished or coated with plastics or other 
non-metallic substances in addition to the metallic coating;
    <bullet> Clad products in straight lengths of 4.7625 mm or more 
in composite thickness and of a width which exceeds 150 mm and 
measures at least twice the thickness;
    <bullet> Certain clad stainless flat-rolled products, which are 
three-layered corrosion-resistant carbon steel flat-rolled products 
less than 4.75 mm in composite thickness that consist of a carbon 
steel flat-rolled product clad on both sides with stainless steel in 
a 20%-60%-20% ratio;
    Also excluded from the scope of the antidumping duty 
investigations on corrosion resistant steel from Taiwan are any 
products covered by the existing antidumping duty order on corrosion 
resistant steel from Taiwan. See Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel 
Products from India, Italy, the People's Republic of China, the 
Republic of Korea and Taiwan: Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping 
Determination for India and Taiwan, and Antidumping Duty Orders, 81

Taiwan: 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).
    Also excluded from the scope of the antidumping duty 
investigation on corrosion-resistant steel from the United Arab 
Emirates and the antidumping duty and countervailing duty 
investigations on corrosion-resistant steel from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam are any products covered by the existing 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders on corrosion-resistant 
steel from the People's Republic of China and the Republic of Korea 
and the antidumping duty order on corrosion-resistant steel from 
Taiwan. See Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from India,

India, Italy, Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China: 
Countervailing Duty Order, 81 FR 48387 (July 25, 2016). This 
exclusion does not apply to imports of corrosion-resistant steel 
that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in 
the United States for which the relevant importer and exporter 
certifications have been completed and maintained and all other 
applicable certification requirements have been met such that the 
entry is entered into the United States as not subject to the 
antidumping and countervailing duty orders on corrosion-resistant 
steel from the People's Republic of China, the antidumping and 
countervailing duty orders on corrosion-resistant steel from the 
Republic of Korea, or the antidumping duty order on corrosion-
resistant steel from Taiwan.
