The US Commerce Department has provided the final results for the countervailing administrative review of certain corrosion-resistant steel products (CORE) from South Korea.
The period under review was Jan. 1, 2022, through Dec. 31, 2022. The results are applicable as of Friday.
The results include a partial rescission.
