Antidumping Duty Order: Grain-Oriented Electrical Steel From 
Japan

Agency: Import Administration, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 10, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Ready or Paul Kullman, Office of 
Antidumping Duty Investigations, Import Administration, U.S. Department 
of Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 
20230; telephone (202) 482-2613 or (202) 482-1279, respectively.

Scope of Order

    The product covered by this order is grain-oriented electrical 
steel, which is a flat-rolled alloy steel product containing by weight 
at least 0.6 percent of silicon, not more than 0.08 percent of carbon, 
not more than 1.0 percent of aluminum, and no other element in an 
amount that would give the steel the characteristics of another alloy 
steel, of a thickness of no more than 0.56 millimeters, in coils of any 
width, or in straight lengths which are of a width measuring at least 
10 times the thickness, as currently classifiable in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTS'') under item subheadings 
7225.10.0030, 7226.10.1030, 7226.10.5015 and 7226.10.5065. Although the 
HTS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, our 
written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

    In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, on April 25, 1994, 
the Department of Commerce (Department) published in the Federal 
Register its final determination that grain-oriented electrical steel 
from Japan is being sold at less than fair value (59 FR 19693). On June 
2, 1994, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the U.S. 
International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department that 
imports of grain-oriented electrical steel from Japan materially injure 
a U.S. industry.

Suspension of Liquidation

    In accordance with section 736 of the Act, the Department will 
direct U.S. Customs officers to assess, upon further advice by the 
administering authority pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of the Act, 
antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the foreign market 
value of the merchandise exceeds the United States price for all 
entries of grain-oriented electrical steel from Japan. These 
antidumping duties will be assessed on all unliquidated entries of 
grain-oriented electrical steel from Japan entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after February 9, 1994, the date on 
which the Department published its preliminary determination notice in 
the Federal Register (59 FR 5990).
    On or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 
Register, U.S. Customs officers must require, at the same time as 
importers would normally deposit estimated duties, the following cash 
deposits for the subject merchandise:
