Orders
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: As a result of the determinations by the U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) orders and countervailing
duty (CVD) orders on certain hot-rolled carbon steel flat products from
India, Indonesia, the People's Republic of China (China), Taiwan,
Thailand, and Ukraine would likely lead to the continuation or
recurrence of dumping and countervailable subsidies, and material
injury to an industry in the United States, Commerce is publishing a
notice of continuation of these AD and CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable September 23, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On November 29 and December 3, 2001, Commerce published in the
Federal Register the AD and CVD orders on certain hot-rolled carbon
steel flat products from India, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and
Ukraine.\1\ On July 1, 2024, the ITC instituted,\2\ and Commerce
initiated,\3\ the fourth sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant to
section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). As a
result of its reviews, Commerce determined that revocation of the
Orders would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping
and countervailable subsidies, and therefore, notified the ITC of the
magnitude of the margins of dumping and subsidy rates likely to prevail
should the Orders be revoked.\4\

On September 23, 2025, the ITC published its determination,

the Orders would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material
injury to an industry in the United States within a reasonably
foreseeable time.\5\

Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these Orders are certain hot-rolled carbon
steel flat products from India, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, and
Ukraine. For a complete description of the scope of the Orders, see the
Appendix to this notice.
Continuation of the Orders
As a result of the determinations by Commerce and the ITC that
revocation of the Orders would likely lead to continuation or

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise subject to the Orders is certain hot-rolled
flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products of a rectangular shape, of
a width of 0.5 inch or greater, neither clad, plated, nor coated
with metal and whether or not painted, varnished, or coated with
plastics or other non-metallic substances, in coils (whether or not
in successively superimposed layers), regardless of thickness, and
in straight lengths, of a thickness of less than 4.75 mm and of a
width measuring at least 10 times the thickness. Universal mill
plate (i.e., flat-rolled products rolled on four faces or in a
closed box pass, of a width exceeding 150 mm, but not exceeding 1250
mm, and of a thickness of not less than 4 mm, not in coils and
without patterns in relief) of a thickness not less than 4.0 mm is
not included within the scope of the Orders.
Specifically included within the scope of the Orders are vacuum
degassed, fully stabilized (commonly referred to as interstitial-
free (IF)) steels, high strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, and the
substrate for motor lamination steels. IF steels are recognized as
low carbon steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such as
titanium or niobium (also commonly referred to as columbium), or
both, added to stabilize carbon and nitrogen elements. HSLA steels
are recognized as steels with micro-alloying levels of elements such
as chromium, copper, niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum. The
substrate for motor lamination steels contains micro-alloying levels
of elements such as silicon and aluminum.
Steel products included in the scope of the Orders, regardless
of definitions in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTSUS), are products in which: (i) Iron predominates, by
weight, over each of the other contained elements; (ii) the carbon
content is 2 percent or less, by weight; and (iii) none of the
elements listed below exceeds the quantity, by weight, respectively
indicated:
1.80 percent of manganese, or
2.25 percent of silicon, or
1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or
1.25 percent of chromium, or
0.30 percent of cobalt, or
0.40 percent of lead, or
1.25 percent of nickel, or
0.30 percent of tungsten, or
0.10 percent of molybdenum, or
0.10 percent of niobium, or
0.15 percent of vanadium, or
0.15 percent of zirconium.
All products that meet the physical and chemical description
provided above are within the scope of the Orders unless otherwise
excluded. The following products, by way of example, are outside or
specifically excluded from the scope of the Orders:
--Alloy hot-rolled steel products in which at least one of the
chemical elements exceeds those listed above (including, e.g., ASTM
specifications A543, A387, A514, A517, A506).
--SAE/AISI grades of series 2300 and higher.
--Ball bearings steels, as defined in the HTSUS.
--Tool steels, as defined in the HTSUS.
--Silico-manganese (as defined in the HTSUS) or silicon electrical
steel with a silicon level exceeding 2.25 percent.
--ASTM specifications A710 and A736.
--USS Abrasion-resistant steels (USS AR 400, USS AR 500).
--All products (proprietary or otherwise) based on an alloy ASTM
specification (sample specifications: ASTM A506, A507).
--Non-rectangular shapes, not in coils, which are the result of
having been processed by cutting or stamping and which have assumed
the character of articles or products classified outside chapter 72
of the HTSUS.
