South Korea Diamond Sawblades: Commerce Changes Ehwa's AD Rate to Zero
The Commerce Department amended its final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from South Korea (A-580-855). The agency said it made errors in its calculation of Ehwa's AD rate (see 13061712). After correcting them, Ehwa's AD rate is now zero.

Assessment of AD duties is still on hold, pending litigation at the Court of International Trade (see 11110708). Ehwa's new zero AD rate means it will join Shinhan in having its entries liquidated without regard to AD duties, once the court allows assessment to proceed. The order was revoked for all entries made after Oct. 24, 2011, so no cash deposits are required for such entries (see 11102822).
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Ehwa Diamond Industrial Co. | zero |
| Hyosung Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd, Western Diamond Tools Inc., and Hyosung D&P Co. | 120.9% |
| Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co. and SH Trading | zero |
(The review period is 11/01/10 -- 10/23/11. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, potential assessment instructions, etc. See 13021910 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
