SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 10, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register its 
preliminary affirmative determination in the LTFV investigation of CORE 
from Vietnam, in which we also postponed the final determination until 
August 25, 2025, and invited interested parties to comment on the 
Preliminary Determination.\1\ On May 29, 2025, Commerce published its 
Amended 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 changes to the differential pricing analysis.\4\

Changes Since the Preliminary Determination

    We made certain changes to the margin calculations for HSG and TDA 
since the Preliminary Determination, Amended Preliminary Determination, 
and Post-Preliminary Analysis. For a discussion of these changes, see 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Use of Adverse Facts Available (AFA)

    As discussed in the Preliminary Determination, Commerce assigned an 
estimated weighted-average dumping margin on the basis of AFA, pursuant 
to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, to the Vietnam-wide entity 
(including, but not limited to, 12 companies which did not rebut the 
presumption of government control).\9\ No party commented on our 
findings with respect to the Vietnam-wide entity and use of the highest 
corroborated dumping margin alleged in the petition as the appropriate 
rate assigned to the Vietnam-wide entity. Therefore, Commerce continues 
to find, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, that the use 
of facts otherwise available, with adverse inferences, is warranted in 
determining the dumping rate for the Vietnam-wide entity, and we 
continue to assign the highest transaction-specific dumping margin 
calculated for the mandatory respondents (i.e., 162.96 percent).\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Preliminary Determination, 90 FR at 15344.
    \10\ See Memorandum, ``Final Analysis Memorandum for Ton Dong A 
Corporation,'' at Attachment 2 and Attachment 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    On July 7 and 9, 2025, interested parties commented on Commerce's 
preliminary separate rate determinations.\11\ We have reconsidered our 
methodology for calculating the separate rate in this investigation, 
which we have addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. We have 
not made any changes regarding our determination of companies eligible 
to receive a separate rate. Accordingly, we continue to find that HSG 
and TDA, and certain non-individually examined companies that are 
listed in the ``Final Determination'' rate table below, are eligible 
for a separate rate.

JSC, TVP Steel Trading JSC, Sam Hwan Vina CO., Ltd.'s Letter, ``Case 
Brief,'' dated July 9, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Combination Rates

    Consistent with the Preliminary Determination and Policy Bulletin 
05.1,\12\ Commerce calculated combination rates for the companies 
eligible for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Enforcement and Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, 
regarding, ``Separate-Rates Practice and Application of Combination 
Rates in Antidumping Investigations involving Non-Market Economy 
Countries,'' dated April 5, 2005 (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available 
on Commerce's website at <a href="http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf">http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf</a>.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination

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

    \13\ Commerce calculated a de minimis rate for HSG in the 
companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation. Therefore, no CVD 
offset/adjustment is being made to HSG's cash deposit rate.
    \14\ TDA received a final net subsidy rate in the companion CVD 
investigation; however, none of the countervailable subsidies were 
export-contingent. Therefore, no CVD offset/adjustment is being made 
to TDA's cash deposit rate.
    \15\ Because neither HSG nor TDA's estimated dumping margin is 
being offset by export-contingent CVD subsidies, no CVD offset 
adjustment has been made to the cash deposit rate of the separate 
rate companies or the Vietnam-Wide Entity.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in 
connection with this final determination to interested parties within 
five days after 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, we will 
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to 
suspend liquidation of subject merchandise entries, as described in 
Appendix I of this notice, which are 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.

[[Page 42225]]

    Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(d), Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal 
to the amount by which the normal value exceeds the U.S. price as 
follows: (1) the cash deposit rate for the exporter/producer 
combination listed in the table above will be the rate identified in 
the table; (2) for all combination of Vietnamese exporters/producers of 
subject merchandise that have not received their own separate rate 
above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established 
for the Vietnam-wide entity; and (3) for all non-Vietnamese exporters 
of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate 
above, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate applicable 
to the Vietnamese exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-
Vietnamese exporter. 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 countervailing duty (CVD) 
investigation, when CVD provisional measures are in effect. 
Accordingly, where Commerce made an affirmative determination for 
countervailable export subsidies, Commerce would offset the estimated 
weighted-average dumping margins by the appropriate export subsidy 
rate.\16\ Any such adjusted cash deposit rates may be found in the 
``Final Determination'' section above. However, the suspension of 
liquidation of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation 
has been discontinued.\17\ Therefore, we are not instructing CBP to 
collect cash deposits based upon the adjusted estimated weighted-
average dumping margins 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.

Countervailing Duty Determination, and Alignment of Final 
Determination With Antidumping Duty Determination, 90 FR 9235 
(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., last day provisional measures are in effect).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify 
the ITC of its final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV. 
Because Commerce's 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 of CORE no later than 45 days after this final determination. 
If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury 
does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all cash deposits 
will be refunded or canceled, 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 instructions by Commerce, antidumping duties on all imports of 
the subject merchandise that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the effective date of the suspension of 
liquidation, as discussed above in the ``Continuation of Suspension of 
Liquidation'' section above.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as the only 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 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 determination is issued and published in accordance with 
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 these investigations 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 
investigations 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 these investigations 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

[[Page 42226]]

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; and
    Also excluded from the scope of the antidumping duty 
investigation 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, 81FR 48390 (July 25, 2016); Corrosion-Resistant Steel 
Products from 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, 
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 FR 48390 (July 25, 
2016); see also Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from 
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.
    The products subject to the investigation are currently 
classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
