The U.S. Department of Commerce issued final results of the antidumping duty administrative review for certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate products from the Republic of Korea, covering the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025 (case A-580-836). Commerce determined that subject producers and exporters made sales at prices below normal value during the review period. These results establish updated AD duty deposit rates applicable to entries of the subject merchandise.
The February 2024 through January 2025 review period closed, triggering Commerce's statutory obligation under 19 U.S.C. 1675 to publish final results within prescribed deadlines. Annual administrative reviews are procedurally routine within the AD/CVD framework and do not require a political trigger.
Domestic CTL steel plate producers, historically organized through the American Institute for International Steel's opponents and petitioner coalitions, have maintained this order across multiple administrations. Korean exporters face the review as a recurring compliance obligation with limited ability to influence the outcome outside of verification and briefing submissions to Commerce.
Korea is a significant supplier of CTL steel plate to the U.S. market under HS chapter 73. The A-580-836 order has been in place for years, and annual review results incrementally adjust competitive positioning without triggering bilateral diplomatic friction, since the mechanism is WTO-consistent under the Anti-Dumping Agreement.
