Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in the
appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made no
changes to the margin calculations for Dongkuk. For further discussion,
see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin
exists for the period August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dongkuk S&C Co., Ltd....................................... 4.99
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to interested parties the
calculations of the final results of an administrative review within
five days of a public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because we made no changes to the Preliminary
Results calculations, there are no new calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
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.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Dongkuk reported the
entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Dongkuk for which the
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 5.41 percent),\4\ if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Order, 85 FR at 52547; see also Utility Scale Wind
Towers from Canada, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, and the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Notice of Correction to the
Antidumping Duty Orders, 85 FR 56213 (September 11, 2020)
(correcting the date that the provisional measures period expired).
\5\ For a full discussion of the ``automatic assessment''
practice, see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue liquidation 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
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 publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Dongkuk will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific cash deposit rate published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding in which the company participated;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 5.41 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order, 85 FR at 52547.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
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), which continues to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 26, 2026.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
