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.
In a report in the Federal Register, Commerces said that, “Because there is no evidence on the record that SeAH Steel Corporation had entries, exports, or sales of subject merchandise during the Period of Review, and no party filed comments with respect to our preliminary determination regarding this company, we are rescinding this review with respect to SeAH Steel Corporation.”

The preliminary results were announced by Commerce on Aug. 12 of last year. To see the entire document in the Federal Register, click here.
