Silicon Metal From Bosnia and
Herzegovina and Iceland: Antidumping
Duty Orders
AGENCY
: Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY
: Based on affirmative final
determinations by the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) and the
International Trade Commission (ITC),
Commerce is issuing antidumping duty
orders on silicon metal from Bosnia and
Herzegovina (Bosnia) and Iceland.
DATES
: Applicable April 19, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), on February 26, 2021,
Commerce published its affirmative
final determinations in the less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigations of
silicon metal from Bosnia and Iceland.
1
On April 12, 2021, the ITC notified
Commerce of its final affirmative
determinations that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
LTFV imports of silicon metal from
Bosnia and Iceland.
2
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders
are silicon metal. For a complete
description of the scope of the orders,
see the appendix to this notice.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On April 12, 2021, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determinations that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of imports of silicon metal
from Bosnia and Iceland. Therefore, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and
736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing
these antidumping duty orders. Because
the ITC determined that imports of
silicon metal from Bosnia and Iceland
are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such
merchandise from Bosnia and Iceland,
which are entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject
to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(b)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duties equal to the amount by which the
normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed
export price) of the merchandise, for all
relevant entries of silicon metal from
Bosnia and Iceland. Antidumping duties
will be assessed on unliquidated entries
of silicon metal from Bosnia and Iceland
which are entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
December 11, 2020, the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determinations.
3
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of silicon metal from
Bosnia and Iceland as described in the
appendix to this notice which are
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the ITC’s notice of final
determinations in the Federal Register.
These instructions suspending
liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
We will also instruct CBP to require
cash deposits for estimated antidumping
duties equal to the rates listed below.
Accordingly, effective on the date of
publication in the Federal Register of
the ITC’s final affirmative injury
determinations, CBP will require, at the
same time as importers would normally
deposit estimated duties on this subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
cash deposit rates listed below.
4
The
relevant all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically
listed, as appropriate.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping
Margins
The dumping margins for each
antidumping duty order are as follows:
Exporter or producer Dumping
margin
(percent)
Bosnia and Herzegovina
R-S Silicon D.O.O ...................... 21.41
All Others .................................... 21.41
Iceland
PCC Bakki Silicon hf .................. 47.54
All Others .................................... 37.83
Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of silicon metal from Iceland,
we will instruct CBP to lift suspension
and to refund any cash deposits made
