The Department of Commerce has adjusted the countervailing duty (CVD) rates on imports of corrosion-resistant (galvanized/Galvalume) steel from South Korea after an administrative review.
In the final results of an administrative review of the 2021 calendar year, Commerce assigned the following subsidy rates: 6.48% for KG Dongbu Steel, 0.82% for Hyundai Steel, and 1.60% for Posco, Posco Coated and Color Steel Co., and SeAH Coated Metal.
The rates are slightly different than those determined in Commerce’s preliminary findings and the previous year’s review.
These cash deposit rates will remain in effect until Commerce updates them in future administrative reviews.
