Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that imports of certain low carbon steel (LCS) wire that are produced in Mexico and assembled or completed into standard steel welded wire mesh (welded wire mesh) in the United States are circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on welded wire mesh from Mexico. As a result, all imports of certain LCS wire from Mexico imported by Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. (Deacero) will be subject to suspension of liquidation on or after April 2, 2024, and all other imports of certain LCS wire from Mexico will be subject to suspension of liquidation on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Commerce is also imposing a certification requirement. We invite interested parties to comment on this preliminary determination.

Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh From Mexico: Preliminary 
Affirmative Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty and 
Countervailing Duty Orders

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 
determines that imports of certain low carbon steel (LCS) wire that are 
produced in Mexico and assembled or completed into standard steel 
welded wire mesh (welded wire mesh) in the United States are 
circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 
orders on welded wire mesh from Mexico. As a result, all imports of 
certain LCS wire from Mexico imported by Deacero S.A.P.I. de C.V. 
(Deacero) will be subject to suspension of liquidation on or after 
April 2, 2024, and all other imports of certain LCS wire from Mexico 
will be subject to suspension of liquidation on or after the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Commerce is also 
imposing a certification requirement. We invite interested parties to 
comment on this preliminary determination.

DATES: Applicable September 16, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 9, 2021, and April 12, 2021, respectively, Commerce 
published in the Federal Register the AD and CVD orders on U.S. imports 
of welded wire mesh from Mexico.\1\ On January 14, 2025, pursuant to 
section 781(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.226(d)(1), Commerce initiated a country-wide circumvention 
inquiry to determine whether imports of LCS wire from Mexico that are 
assembled or completed into welded wire mesh in the United States are 
circumventing the Orders and, accordingly, should be covered by the 
scope of the Orders.\2\ On February 21, 2025, Commerce selected 
Impulsora del Alambre S.A. de C.V. (Impulsora) and Deacero S.A.P.I. de 
CV (Deacero), Mexican producers of LCS wire, as the mandatory 
respondents in this circumvention inquiry.\3\

Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Orders

    The merchandise covered by these Orders is welded wire mesh. For a 
full description of the scope of the Orders, see the Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum.

Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiry

    This circumvention inquiry covers certain LCS wire produced in 
Mexico and further processed and completed in the United States into 
welded wire mesh from Mexico.

Methodology

    Commerce made this preliminary circumvention determination in 
accordance with section 781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226. For a 
full description of the methodology underlying the preliminary 
determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Circumvention Determination

    We preliminarily determine that welded wire mesh, assembled or 
completed in the United States using Mexican-origin LCS wire produced 
by Deacero, is circumventing the Orders. We also preliminarily 
determine that Mexican-origin LCS wire produced by Impulsora is not 
assembled or completed into welded wire mesh in the United States, and 
therefore, is not circumventing the Orders.
    As detailed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we also 
preliminarily determine that U.S. imports of inquiry merchandise 
exported from Mexico are circumventing the Orders on a country-wide 
basis. As a result, we preliminarily

[[Page 44636]]

determine that this merchandise is covered by the Orders.
    See the ``Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits'' section 
below for details regarding suspension of liquidation and cash deposit 
requirements. See the ``Certification'' and ``Certification 
Requirements'' sections below for details regarding the use of 
certifications.

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits

    Based on the preliminary affirmative country-wide determination of 
circumvention, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2), we will direct 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation and 
require a cash deposit of estimated duties on unliquidated entries of 
LCS wire that are produced in Mexico and assembled or completed into 
welded wire mesh in the United States, that were entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption by Deacero or its affiliates on or 
after April 22, 2024, the date of publication of the preliminary 
affirmative circumvention determination in the circumvention inquiry of 
pre-stressed concrete steel wire strand from Mexico,\5\ pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.226(l)(3)(iii)(A). For all other companies, we will direct CBP 
to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties 
on unliquidated entries of LCS wire that are produced in Mexico and 
assembled or completed into welded wire mesh in the United States, that 
were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from Mexico: 
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Circumvention of the 
Antidumping Duty Order, 89 FR 22668 (April 2, 2024), unchanged in 
Prestressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from Mexico: Final 
Affirmative Determination of Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty 
Order, 89 FR 79252 (September 27, 2024).
    \6\ See Initiation Notice, 90 FR at 3173.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Entries for which the importer has met the certification and 
documentation requirements described below and in Appendix II of this 
notice will not be subject to suspension of liquidation, or the cash 
deposit requirements described above. In accordance with 19 CFR 
351.228(b), where the certification and documentation requirements are 
not met for an entry, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend the 
entry and collect cash deposits at the rates applicable to the AD and 
CVD orders on welded wire mesh from Mexico, and may instruct CBP to 
assess antidumping or countervailing duties at the applicable rate.
    For producers and/or exporters of the LCS wire that have a company-
specific cash deposit rate under the Orders, the cash deposit rate will 
be the company-specific rate. Otherwise, Commerce will instruct CBP to 
require cash deposits equal to the AD all-others rate (i.e., 22.01 
percent) \7\ and the CVD all-others rate (i.e., 1.03 percent).\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See AD Order, 86 FR at 43526.
    \8\ See CVD Order, 86 FR at 18940.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These suspension of liquidation requirements will remain in effect 
until further notice.

Certifications

    In order to administer the preliminary affirmative country-wide and 
company-specific determinations of circumvention, Commerce has 
established importer certifications. These certifications will permit 
importers to establish that specific entries of LCS wire from Mexico 
are not subject to suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash 
deposits pursuant to this preliminary country-wide affirmative 
determination of circumvention because the merchandise will not be 
further processed into welded wire mesh covered by the Orders (see 
Appendix II to this notice).
    Importers that claim that an entry of LCS wire is not subject to 
suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits based on 
the end-use of such merchandise must complete the applicable 
certification and meet the certification requirements described below, 
as well as the requirements identified in the certification.

Certification Requirements

    Importers are required to complete and maintain the applicable 
importer certification and retain all supporting documentation for the 
certification. With the exception of the entries described below, the 
importer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time 
the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry. Shipments entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption by Deacero on or after 
April 2, 2024 (i.e., the date of publication of the preliminary 
affirmative determination of circumvention by Deacero for pre-stressed 
concrete steel wire strand from Mexico) must comply with the importer 
certification requirements described below. For all other shipments, 
the importer certification requirements are effective for all shipments 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. While 
Commerce will normally begin suspension of liquidation on or after the 
date of the publication of the notice of initiation of the 
circumvention inquiry pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2)(ii), in this 
instance, given that Commerce's affirmative determination rests on the 
behavior of one party (Deacero) and that the action of the other party 
subject to individual examination under this inquiry (Impulsora) 
demonstrates no attempt at circumvention, Commerce is beginning the 
suspension of liquidation and the certification requirement for all 
other parties at a later date (i.e., the publication of this notice in 
the Federal Register). In this regard, Commerce notes that Deacero and 
Impulsora together account for nearly all shipments of low-carbon steel 
wire to the United States from Mexico (more than 95 percent).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.226(m), Commerce has the discretion 
to consider the ``appropriate remedy'' for an affirmative 
determination in circumvention inquiry, including for a country-wide 
determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With the exception of entries described below, the importer, or the 
importer's agent, must submit the importer's certification, the steel 
mill certificate for the imported product, and the commercial invoice 
for the imported product to CBP at the time of entry summary by 
uploading these documents into the document imaging system (DIS) in the 
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Consistent with CBP's 
procedures, importers shall identify certified entries by using 
importers' additional declaration (record 54) AD/CVD Certification 
Designation (type code 06) when filing an entry summary.\10\ Where the 
importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry process, it should 
obtain the entry summary number from the broker. Agents of the 
importer, such as brokers, however, are not permitted to certify on 
behalf of the importer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See CBP Cargo Systems Messaging Service Bulletin 59384253, 
``CATAIR Entry Summary Create/Update and Error Dictionary Have Been 
Updated--AD/CVD CERT,'' dated February 12, 2024; see also Announcing 
an Importer's Additional Declaration in the Automated Commercial 
Environment Specific to Antidumping/Countervailing Duty 
Certifications, 89 FR 7372 (February 2, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and any 
supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce and/or 
CBP. Importers are required to maintain the certifications and 
supporting documentation until the later of: (1) the date that is five 
years after the latest entry date of the entries covered by the

[[Page 44637]]

certification; or (2) the date that is three years after the conclusion 
of any litigation in United States courts regarding such entries.
    For all shipments of LCS wire from Mexico that were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption by Deacero during the period 
April 2, 2024 (i.e., the date of publication of the preliminary 
affirmative determination of circumvention by Deacero for pre-stressed 
concrete steel wire strand from Mexico), through September 26, 2025, 
where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which 
liquidation has not become final), and for consumption by all other 
companies during the period beginning on the date of publication of 
this notice in the Federal Register, through September 26, 2025, where 
the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which liquidation 
has not become final), the relevant certification should be completed 
and signed as soon as practicable, but not later than October 27, 2025. 
For such entries, importers have the option to complete a blanket 
certification covering multiple entries, individual certifications for 
each entry, or a combination thereof. The importer certification, 
commercial invoice, and steel mill certificate should be uploaded to 
the DIS in ACE as soon as practicable, but not later than October 27, 
2025. For such entries, importers have the option to complete a blanket 
certification covering multiple entries, individual certifications for 
each entry, or a combination thereof.
    For unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not 
become final) of LCS wire that were declared as non-AD/CVD type entries 
(e.g., type 01) and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption in the United States during the period beginning on the 
date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, through 
September 26, 2025, for which none of the above certifications may be 
made, importers must file a Post Summary Correction with CBP, in 
accordance with CBP's regulations, regarding conversion of such entries 
from non-AD/CVD type entries to AD/CVD type entries (e.g., type 01 to 
type 03) as soon as practicable, but not later than September 26, 2025. 
The importer should pay cash deposits on those entries consistent with 
the regulations governing post summary corrections that require payment 
of additional duties.
    If it is determined that an importer has not met the certification 
and/or related documentation requirements for certain entries, Commerce 
intends to instruct CBP to suspend, pursuant to this preliminary 
country-wide affirmative determination of circumvention and the 
Orders,\11\ all unliquidated entries for which these requirements were 
not met and to require the importer to post applicable AD/CVD cash 
deposits equal to the rates noted above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Orders.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interested parties may comment in their case briefs on these 
certification requirements, and on the certification language contained 
in Appendix II to this notice.

Verification

    As provided in 19 CFR 351.307, Commerce may verify relevant factual 
information prior to making a final determination. At this time, 
Commerce does not intend to conduct a verification with respect to this 
circumvention inquiry.

Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments should be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than 14 
days after the date of publication of this notice.\12\ Rebuttal briefs, 
limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than 
five days after the deadline for case briefs.\13\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal 
briefs in these circumvention inquiries must submit: (1) a statement of 
the issue; and (2) a table of authorities. Case and rebuttal briefs 
should be filed using ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.226(f)(4).
    \13\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective 
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069 (September 29, 2023) 
(APO and Service Final Rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As provided in 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this circumvention inquiry, we instead 
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their 
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their 
briefs.\14\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their 
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not 
including citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the 
basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision 
memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this 
circumvention inquiry. We request that interested parties include 
footnotes for relevant citations in the executive summary of each 
issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements 
pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that 
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.
    \15\ See APO and Service Final Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. 
Requests should contain: (1) the requesting party's name, address, and 
telephone number; (2) the number of individuals from the requesting 
party that will attend the hearing and whether any of those individuals 
is a foreign national; and (3) a list of the issues that the party 
intends to discuss at the hearing. If a request for a hearing is made, 
Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be 
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and 
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date of the 
hearing.

U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Notification

    Commerce, consistent with section 781(e) of the Act, will notify 
the ITC of this preliminary circumvention determination to include the 
merchandise subject to this circumvention inquiry within the Orders. 
Pursuant to section 781(e) of the Act, the ITC may request 
consultations concerning Commerce's proposed inclusion of the inquiry 
merchandise. If, after consultations, the ITC believes that a 
significant injury issue is presented by the proposed inclusion, it 
will have 60 days from the date of notification by Commerce to provide 
written advice.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
section 781(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(g)(1).

WHICH MERCHANDISE WAS SHIPPED{time} .
    E. Select the appropriate statement below:
    a. I have personal knowledge of the facts regarding the end-use 
of the imported products covered by this certification because my 
company is the end-user of the imported product covered by this 
certification and I certify that the imported subject-LCS wire will 
not be used to produce standard steel welded wire mesh . ``Personal 
knowledge'' includes facts obtained from another party, (e.g., 
correspondence received by the importer from the end-user of the 
imported products regarding the end-use of the imported subject-LCS 
wire.
    b. I have personal knowledge of the facts regarding the end-use 
of the imported product because while my company is not the end-user 
of the imported product covered by this certification, I certify 
that I have contacted the customer or end-user of the imported 
product and confirmed that it will not use this product to produce 
standard steel welded wire mesh. The customer or end-user of the 
imported product is {COMPANY NAME{time}  located at {ADDRESS{time} . 
``Personal knowledge'' includes facts obtained from another party 
(e.g., correspondence received by the importer from the end-user of 
the product).
    F. The imported subject-LCS wire covered by this certification 
will not be further processed into standard steel welded wire mesh 
(welded wire mesh) in the United States. (NOTE: For certifications 
related to entries produced and/or exported by Deacero S.A.P.I. de 
CV that were made between April 2, 2024, through September 26, 2025, 
the importer should replace ``will not be further processed'' with 
``were not further processed'' in the certification, as necessary). 
For certifications related to entries produced and/or exported by 
any company other than Deacero S.A.P.I. de CV between the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, through 
September 26, 2025, the importer should replace ``will not be 
further processed'' with ``were not further processed'' in the 
certification, as necessary).
    G. This certification applies to the following entries (repeat 
this block as many times as necessary):

Entry Summary #:
Entry Summary Line Item #:
Foreign Seller: Foreign Seller's Address:
Foreign Seller's Invoice #:
Foreign Seller's Invoice Line Item #:
Producer:
Producer's Address:

    H. I understand that {NAME OF IMPORTING COMPANY{time}  is 
required to maintain a copy of this certification and sufficient 
documentation supporting this certification (i.e., documents 
maintained in the normal course of business, or documents obtained 
by the certifying party, for example, mill certificates, product 
specification sheets, invoices, etc.) until the later of: (1) the 
date that is five years after the latest entry date of the entries 
covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three years 
after the conclusion of any litigation in United States courts 
regarding such entries.
    I. I understand that {IMPORTING COMPANY{time} is required to 
submit a copy of the importer certifications, the commercial 
invoice, and the steel mill certificate at the time of entry summary 
by uploading these documents into the Document Imaging System in the 
Automated Commercial Environment, and to provide U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) and/or the U.S. Department of Commerce 
(Commerce) with the importer certification, the commercial invoice, 
the steel mill certificate, and any supporting documentation 
provided to the importer by the exporter or the importer's customer, 
upon request of either agency. Consistent with CBP's procedures, 
importers shall identify certified entries by using importers' 
additional declaration (record 54) AD/CVD Certification Designation 
(type code 06) when filing entry summary.
    J. I understand that the claims made herein, and the 
substantiating documentation, are subject to verification by CBP 
and/or Commerce.
    K. I understand that failure to maintain the required 
certifications and supporting documentation, or failure to 
substantiate the claims made herein, or not allowing CBP and/or 
Commerce to verify the claims made herein, may result in a de facto 
determination that all entries to which this certification applies 
are entries of merchandise that is covered by the scope of the 
antidumping duty order and countervailing duty order on standard 
steel welded wire mesh from Mexico. I understand that such a finding 
will result in:
    (i) suspension of liquidation of all unliquidated entries (and 
entries for which liquidation has not become final) for which these 
requirements were not met;
    (ii) the importer being required to post the antidumping duty 
cash deposits determined by Commerce; and
    (iii) the importer no longer being allowed to participate in the 
certification process.
    L. I understand that agents of the importer, such as brokers, 
are not permitted to make this certification. Where a broker or 
other party was used to facilitate the entry process, {NAME OF 
IMPORTING COMPANY{time}  obtained the entry summary number and date 
of entry summary from that party.
    M. This certification was completed and signed on, or prior to, 
the date of the entry summary if the entry date is after September 
26, 2025. If the entry date is on or before September 26, 2025, this 
certification was completed and signed by no later than October 27, 
2025.
    N. I am aware that U.S. law (including, but not limited to, 18 
U.S.C. 1001) imposes criminal sanctions on individuals who knowingly 
and willfully make materially false statements to the U.S. 
government.
