On July 26, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the preliminary results of the second five-year sunset review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel products from Brazil.
 
As a result, the DOC has preliminarily found that revocation of the CVD order would likely lead to continuance or recurrence of a countervailable subsidy.
 
Domestic interested parties in the investigation are United States Steel Corporation, Nucor Corporation, Gallatin Steel, SSAB NAD, Steel Dynamics, Inc. and ArcelorMittal USA Inc.
 
In the investigation, the DOC, in addition to the Brazilian government, received substantive responses in a timely manner from the following respondent interested parties: the GOB, Usinas Siderugicas de Minas Gerais, and Companhia Siderugica Paulista and Companhia Siderugica Nacional.
 
The products are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers, 7208.10.15.00, 7208.10.30.00, 7208.10.60.00, 7208.25.30.00, 7208.25.60.00, 7208.26.00.30, 7208.26.00.60, 7208.27.00.30, 7208.27.00.60, 7208.36.00.30, 7208.36.00.60, 7208.37.00.30, 7208.37.00.60, 7208.38.00.15, 7208.38.00.30, 7208.38.00.90, 7208.39.00.15, 7208.39.00.30, 7208.39.00.90, 7208.40.60.30, 7208.40.60.60, 7208.53.00.00, 7208.54.00.00, 7208.90.00.00, 7210.70.30.00, 7210.90.90.00, 7211.14.00.30, 7211.14.00.90, 7211.19.15.00, 7211.19.20.00, 7211.19.30.00, 7211.19.45.00, 7211.19.60.00, 7211.19.75.30, 7211.19.75.60, 7211.19.75.90, 7212.40.10.00, 7212.40.50.00, and 7212.50.00.00.
 
Certain hot-rolled flat-rolled carbon-quality steel covered by the order can also be found under: 7225.11.00.00, 7225.19.00.00, 7225.30.30.50, 7225.30.70.00, 7225.40.70.00, 7225.99.00.90, 7226.11.10.00, 7226.11.90.30, 7226.11.90.60, 7226.19.10.00, 7226.19.90.00, 7226.91.50.00, 7226.91.70.00, 7226.91.80.00, and 7226.99.00.00.

The deadline for the completion of the final results is now November 29, 2010.
