Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that Metinvest Trametal S.p.A. (MTS) and NLMK Verona S.p.A. (NVR) made sales of certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate (CTL plate) from Italy at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. Additionally, Commerce is rescinding this review, in part, with respect to three companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Importer Certificate Requirement Reminder
Commerce reminds importers they must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) prior to liquidation of relevant entries from the period May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and may assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Announced
Commerce preliminarily found that Metinvest Trametal S.p.A. (MTS) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 10.77 percent and NLMK Verona S.p.A. (NVR) had a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.94 percent for entries of certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy during the period May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. These are the preliminary margins Commerce will consider when calculating final antidumping duties for the review period.
Cash Deposit Rates After Final Results
When Commerce publishes the final results of this review, the cash deposit rates for MTS and NVR will equal the weighted-average dumping margins established in the final results, except that any rate less than 0.50 percent will be treated as zero. The all-others cash deposit rate will remain 6.08 percent for producers and exporters not covered by the review.
Partial Rescission for Three Firms
Commerce is rescinding the administrative review, in part, for Officine Technosider s.r.l., F.A.R. Fonderie Acciaierie S.p.A., and Pro Form S.R.L. because there were no suspended entries during the period May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025. For these three companies Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption.
Unreviewed Entries Assessed at 6.08%
For entries produced by NVR or MTS where the companies did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States and those entries are unreviewed, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate those unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 6.08 percent. This is the rate established in the original less-than-fair-value investigation.
