According to the findings and details of the preliminary determination, the administrative review covers the period from December 1, 2023 to November 30, 2024. As a result, Nippon Steel Corporation (NSC), a global steel producer from Japan, received an estimated weighted average dumping margin of 0.00% (zero). Based on the preliminary results, it was determined that the company did not sell the subject steel products below normal value during the review period, meaning no dumping occurred.
Products under review and customs classification
The subject merchandise, non-oriented electrical steel (NOES), is defined as cold rolled, flat rolled alloy steel products. These materials, regardless of whether they are in coil form or not and independent of width, have a thickness of 0.20 mm or more and are characterized by essentially uniform core loss in any direction of magnetization in the plane of the material.
The products are classified under the US Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS) codes:
7225.19.0000, 7226.19.1000, 7226.19.9000, 7225.50.8085, 7225.99.0090, 7226.92.5000, 7226.92.7050, 7226.92.8050, 7226.99.0180.
Customs assessment timeline and potential appeal process
The USDOC stated that it plans to issue instructions for final assessment and liquidation to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results in the Federal Register.
However, in the event that an appeal is filed at the US Court of International Trade (CIT) following the final decision, CBP will suspend final liquidation and customs processing of the relevant entries until the deadline for requesting interim relief expires, which is 90 days from the date of publication.
