Final Results of Administrative Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023:
Producer/Exporter
NLMK Verona S.p.A.
Officine Tecnosider S.R.L.

Weighted-Average
Dumping Margin (percent)

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final
results of review to interested parties within five days after public announcement of the final
results 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).
Assessment Rate
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), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s
examined sales and the total entered value of those sales. Because OTS’ weighted-average
dumping margin or importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of
review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.8 For
NVR, where an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by NVR or OTS for which
it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to

8 See

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102-03 (February 14, 2012); see also 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2).

liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation (i.e., 6.08 percent) if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.9
Commerce intends to issue assessment 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 upon publication in the Federal
Register, of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the
companies subject to this review will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original LTFV investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 6.08 percent ad

See Order; see also Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68
FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
valorem,, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.10 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to 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), 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 terms of an APO is a violation subject to
sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 31, 2024.
