Stainless Steel Bar

product covered by these orders is stainless steel bar (SSB). SSB means articles of stainless steel in straight lengths that have been either hot-rolled, forged, turned, cold-drawn, cold-rolled or otherwise cold-finished, or ground, having a uniform solid cross section along their whole length in the shape of circles, segments of circles, ovals, rectangles (including squares), triangles, hexagons, octagons or other convex polygons. SSB includes cold-finished SSBs that are turned or ground in straight lengths, whether produced from hot- rolled bar or from straightened and cut rod or wire, and reinforcing bars that have indentations, ribs, grooves, or other deformations produced during the rolling process. Except as specified above, the term does not include stainless steel semi-finished products, cut length flat-rolled products (i.e., cut length rolled products which if less than 4.75 mm in thickness have a width measuring at least 10 times the thickness, or if 4.75 mm or more in thickness having a width which exceeds 150 mm and measures at least twice the thickness), wire (i.e., cold-formed products in coils, of any uniform solid cross section along their whole length, which do not conform to the definition of flat-rolled products), and angles, shapes and sections. The SSB subject to these orders is currently classifiable under subheadings 7222.10.0005, 7222.10.0050, 7222.20.0005, 7222.20.0045, 7222.20.0075, and 7222.30.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope of these orders is dispositive. Antidumping Duty Orders In accordance with section 735(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''), on December 19, 1994, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') made its final determinations that SSB from Brazil, India and Japan was being sold at less than fair value (59 FR 66914, 66915, 66930 (Brazil, India and Japan, respectively) December 28, 1994). On February 10, 1995, the International Trade Commission notified the Department of its final determinations, pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of the subject merchandise. Therefore, all unliquidated entries of SSB from Brazil, India and Japan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 4, 1994, which is the date on which the Department published its notices of preliminary determination in the Federal Register, are liable for the assessment of antidumping duties. In accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the Department will direct Customs officers to assess, upon further advice by the administering authority, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the foreign market value of the merchandise exceeds the United States price for all relevant entries of SSB from Brazil, India and Japan. Customs officers must require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margins as noted below. The ``All Others'' rate applies to all exporters of subject merchandise not specifically listed below. The ad valorem weighted-average dumping margins are as follows: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Margin Manufacturer/Producer/Exporter percentage (percent) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brazil: Acos Villares, S.A........................................ 19.43 All Others................................................ 19.43 India: Grand Foundry, Ltd........................................ 3.87 Mukand, Ltd............................................... 21.02 All Others................................................ 12.45 Japan: Aichi Steel Works, Ltd.................................... 61.47 Daido Steel Co., Ltd...................................... 61.47 Sanyo Special Steel Co., Ltd.............................. 61.47 All Others................................................ 61.47 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This notice constitutes the antidumping duty orders with respect to SSB from Brazil, India and Japan, pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act. Interested parties may contact the [[Page 9662]] Central Records Unit, Room B-099 of the Main Commerce Building, for copies of an updated list of antidumping orders currently in effect. These orders are published in accordance with section 736(a) of the Act and 19 CFR 353.21. Dated: February 13, 1995. Susan G. Esserman, Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
