South Korea Large Power Transformers: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department is amending the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on large power transformers from South Korea (A-580-867) it issued March 8, to correct an error it said it made in calculating the rate for Hyosung Heavy Industries Corporation, Inc. Commerce said it received an allegation from petitioners Hitachi Energy USA, Inc., and Prolec-GE Waukesha, Inc., that it had made a ministerial error in the final results of this review with regard to the calculated rate for Hyosung. "Based on our analysis of the allegation, we determine that we made a ministerial error and we made changes to the calculation of the weighted-average dumping margin for Hyosung," Commerce said.

The weighted-average dumping margin assigned to Hyosung changes from 7.92% to 9.09%. Also, Commerce revised the dumping margin applicable to the three companies not selected for individual examination in this administrative review, which is based on the margin calculated for Hyosung, so their AD rates also change to the same 9.09% rate.

These amended final results will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered Aug. 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020. The new rates are applicable as of March 30. The revised rates are as follows:

Producer/ExporterAD Rate

Iljin Electric Co., Ltd.9.09%
