Spain Stainless Steel Bar: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stainless steel bar from Spain (A-469-805). Commerce determined the only company under review, Gerdau Aceros Especiales Europa, S.L., did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning the company a zero percent AD duty rate. Subject merchandise from Gerdau entered between March 1, 2012 and Feb. 28, 2013 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of stainless steel bar exported from Spain by Gerdau will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. These final results take effect Oct. 22.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all Spanish companies except Gerdau), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate of 25.77% applies.

(The review period is 03/01/12 -- 02/28/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 14042216 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
