Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements for Korean and Vietnamese aluminum wire and cable continue to apply retroactively to entries on or after Oct. 19, 2023, which is the date that Commerce initiated the anti-circumvention inquiry (see 2310180043).
However, in a change from its preliminary determination (see 2408060034), Tanghenam Electric Wire and Cable Co., Ltd. will no longer be eligible for a duty exemption under a certification scheme that allows importers and exporters of aluminum wire and cable from South Korea and Vietnam to certify that their goods aren’t made from Chinese inputs, and as a result aren't subject to AD/CVD.
The agency’s circumvention findings apply country-wide to all imports of aluminum wire and cable, regardless of the exporter, “assembled or completed” in either South Korea or Vietnam using Chinese-origin inputs, including “stranded wire and cables or unfinished” aluminum wire and cable.
