Federation, and the United Arab Emirates: Antidumping Duty Orders

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

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final determinations by the Department of 
Commerce (Commerce) and the International Trade Commission (the ITC), 
Commerce is issuing antidumping duty (AD) orders on carbon and alloy 
steel wire rod (wire rod) from Belarus, the Russian Federation 
(Russia), and the United Arab Emirates (the UAE).

DATES: Applicable January 24, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca Janz at (202) 482-2972 
(Belarus), Kaitlin Wojnar at (202) 482-3857 (Russia), or Carrie Bethea

Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on November 28, 
2017, Commerce published affirmative final determinations in the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigations of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, 
and the UAE.\1\ On January 11, 2018, the ITC notified Commerce of its 
affirmative determination, pursuant to section 735(d) of the Act, that 
an industry in the United States is materially injured within the 
meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of the LTFV 
imports of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE, and its 
determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to 
imports of wire rod from Russia subject to Commerce's affirmative 
critical circumstances determination.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Belarus, 
the Russian Federation, and the United Arab Emirates: Affirmative 
Final Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Partial 
Affirmative Finding of Critical Circumstances, 82 FR 56214 (November 
28, 2017).
    \2\ See Letter from the ITC to the Hon. Gary Taverman, dated 
January 11, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Orders

    The product covered by these orders is wire rod. For a complete 
description of the scope of these orders, see the Appendix to this 
notice.

Antidumping Duty Orders

    In accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the Act, 
the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in these 
investigations, in which it found that an industry in the United States 
is materially injured by reasons of imports of wire rod from Belarus, 
Russia, and the UAE.\3\ The ITC also notified Commerce of its 
determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to 
imports of wire rod from Russia subject to Commerce's critical 
circumstances finding.\4\ Therefore, in accordance with section 
735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing these AD orders. Because the 
ITC determined that imports of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the 
UAE are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of 
such merchandise from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE are subject to the 
assessment of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of the ITC's final determination, in accordance with 
section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by 
Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal 
value of the merchandise exceeds the export price, or constructed 
export price, of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of wire rod 
from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE. Antidumping duties will be assessed 
on unliquidated entries of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
September 12, 2017, the date of publication of the preliminary 
determinations,\5\ but will not include entries occurring after the 
expiration of the provisional measures

period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination 
in the Federal Register, as further described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from Belarus: 
Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 
Value, 82 FR 42796 (September 12, 2017) (Belarus Preliminary 
Determination); Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from the 
Russian Federation and the United Arab Emirates: Affirmative 
Preliminary Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and 
Affirmative Preliminary Determination of Critical Circumstances for 
Imports of Certain Carbon and Alloy Steel Wire Rod from the Russian 
Federation, 82 FR 42794 (September 12, 2017) (collectively, 
Preliminary Determinations).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will 
instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation of all relevant entries 
of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE. These instructions 
suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice.
    Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to 
the amounts as indicated below. Accordingly, effective the date of 
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP 
will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit 
estimated duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to 
the cash deposit rates listed below.\6\ The relevant all-others rates 
apply to producers or exporters not specifically listed, as 
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See section 736(a)(3) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Provisional Measures

    Section 733(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation 
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in 
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a 
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request 
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months. 
In reference to these proceedings, no such request was received from 
exporters of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, or the UAE. Commerce's 
preliminary determinations were published on September 12, 2017.\7\ As 
such, the four-month period ended on January 9, 2018. Pursuant to 
section 737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates 
listed below will begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final 
injury determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to 
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries 
of wire rod from Belarus, Russia, and the UAE entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption after January 9, 2018, the date on 
which provisional measures expired, through the day preceding the date 
of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal 
Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of 
publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.

Critical Circumstances

    With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances 
determination regarding imports of wire rod from Russia, Commerce will 
instruct CBP to lift suspension and refund any cash deposits made to 
secure payment of estimated antidumping duties on subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 
14, 2017, (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the 
preliminary determinations), but before September 12, 2017, (i.e., the 
date of publication of the preliminary determinations).

Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins

    The estimated weighted-average AD margins and cash deposit rates
