US DOC's preliminary decision CVD review on CTL plate from S. Korea

On February 10, 2000, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) imposed countervailing duty order on certain cut-to-length (CTL) carbon-quality steel plate from South Korea. On March 23, 2005, the DOC initiated an administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain CTL carbon-quality steel plate imported from South Korea. The review covered the period January 1, 2004, through December 31, 2004. As a preliminary result of this review, the DOC calculated a subsidy rate for Dongkuk Steel Mill (DSM) for 2004. The DOC preliminarily determined the total estimated net countervailable subsidy rate for DSM is 0.05 percent ad valorem for 2004, which is de minimis.
