PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background. -- This proceeding was instituted in response to a petitions filed on March 28, 2017, by
Charter Steel, Saukville, Wisconsin; Gerdau Ameristeel US Inc., Tampa, Florida; Keystone Consolidated
Industries, Inc., Peoria, Illinois; and Nucor Corporation, Charlotte, North Carolina. Countervailing and/or
antidumping duties may be assessed on the subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the
Commission makes an affirmative determination of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S.
Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes an affirmative determination of subsidization and/or
dumping. Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are available at
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/title_7/2017/carbon_and_certain_alloy_steel_wire_rod_belarus/
preliminary.htm.
Wire rod.-- The merchandise covered by these investigations are certain hot‐rolled products of carbon
steel and alloy steel, in coils, of approximately round cross section, less than 19.00 mm in actual solid
cross‐sectional diameter. Specifically excluded are steel products possessing the above‐noted physical
characteristics and meeting the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) definitions for
(a) stainless steel; (b) tool steel; (c) high‐nickel steel; (d) ball bearing steel; or (e) concrete reinforcing
bars and rods. Also excluded are free cutting steel (also known as free machining steel) products (i.e.,
products that contain by weight one or more of the following elements: 0.1 percent or more of lead,
0.05 percent or more of bismuth, 0.08 percent or more of sulfur, more than 0.04 percent of
phosphorous, more than 0.05 percent of selenium, or more than 0.01 percent of tellurium). All products
meeting the physical description of subject merchandise that are not specifically excluded are included
in this scope.
Wire rod is currently imported under statistical reporting numbers 7213.91.3011, 7213.91.3015,
7213.91.3020, 7213.91.3093; 7213.91.4500, 7213.91.6000, 7213.99.0030, 7227.20.0030, 7227.20.0080,
7227.90.6010, 7227.90.6020, 7227.90.6030, and 7227.90.6035 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Products imported under statistical reporting numbers 7213.99.0090 and
7227.90.6090 of the HTSUS also may be included in this scope if they meet the physical description of
subject merchandise above. The HTSUS provisions are for convenience and customs purposes; the
written description of the scope is dispositive.
(1) Low and medium-low carbon industrial and standard quality rods.–Rods manufactured from low or
medium-low carbon steel and primarily intended for drawing into industrial or standard quality wire.
This category also includes special quality rods. For the purpose of these questionnaires, data for chain
quality rods, cold finishing rods, fine wire quality rods, and nondeformed concrete reinforcement rods
should be reported in this category.
(2) High and medium-high carbon industrial and standard quality rods.–Rods manufactured from high
or medium-high carbon steel and primarily intended for drawing into wire for such products as strand,
hose, upholstery spring, mechanical spring, oil tempering, cold rolling, bearing, rope, screens, aluminum
conductor steel reinforcement (“ACSR”) core, pipe wrap, prestressed concrete wire, utility strand, and
music wire.
(3) Tire cord and tire bead quality rods.--High-carbon wire rods that downstream purchasers, either
specialized wire drawers or producers of steel-reinforced pneumatic tires, draw into bead or cord wire.
Tire bead reinforces the bead (inner edge) of a tire and seals the tire against the wheel whereas tire cord
is adhered to the inside of the tread for steel-reinforced pneumatic tires.

(4) Welding quality rods.–Rods intended for producing wire for gas welding, electric arc welding,
submerged arc welding, and metal insert gas welding.
(5) Cold heading quality (“CHQ”) rods.–Rods used in the manufacture of heading, forging, or cold
extrusion quality wire.
(6) Other specialty carbon and alloy quality rods.–For the purpose of these questionnaires, data for
scrapless nut, aircraft, cold heading bearing, and valve spring quality rods should be reported in this
category.
Reporting of information.-- If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
purchaser and/or foreign producer questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.--The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. §1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.--The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.--The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import-injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.
Valid number error messages.--If you are completing this form in a country that uses periods (“.”) to
delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would appear as $1.000.000 rather than $1,000,000), you
may be unable to enter in numbers greater than 999 in numeric form fields. The solution to this data
entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number formatting to be consistent with
the U.S. number formatting system while you complete this form. Detailed instructions on how to
resolve this issue is provided at the end of this questionnaire and is available upon request from Michael
Szustakowski (202-205-3169, [email protected]).

Correcting Valid number error messages.--If you are completing a Commission

questionnaire in a country that uses periods (“.”) to delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would
appear as $1.000.000 instead of as $1,000,000), you may be unable to enter in numbers greater than
999 in numeric form fields. This issues stem from your computer number formatting setting (e.g., not
the MS Word document itself, but the computer from which you are opening up the document). In the
United States commas (,) delineate multiples of 1000 and periods (.) delineate fractions less than one.
Many EU countries use the reverse where multiples of 1000 are delineated with periods (.) and
fractions less than one are delineated with commas (,). The US International Trade Commission’s
questionnaires are set-up in the United States with the U.S. number formatting. When this formatting
interacts with a computer set to EU number formatting, we believe this may cause this issue.
The solution to this data entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number
formatting to be consistent with the U.S. number formatting system while you complete the
questionnaire.
To temporarily change your computer’s number settings to U.S. settings, please do the following (for
Microsoft Windows Operating system):
•
•
•
•
•

START
Control Panel
Region and Language (under Clock, Language, and Region category)
Format tab
Change the Format from your existing one (e.g. “Italian (Italy)”) to “English (United States)” (see
screen shots below)

When you do this the number “twelve million dollars and thirty five cents” would change from
$12.000.000,35 (Italy format) to $12,000,000.35 (U.S. format), and then there will be no conflict with
the USITC foreign producer questionnaire form. When you finish reporting the data then you can close
the questionnaire and switch back to Italy settings.

HOW TO FILE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSE
This questionnaire is available as a “fillable” form in MS Word format on the
Commission’s website at:
https://www.usitc.gov/investigations/title_7/2017/carbon_and_certain_alloy_steel_wir
e_rod_belarus/preliminary.htm.
Please do not attempt to modify the format or permissions of the questionnaire
document. Please submit the completed questionnaire using one of the methods noted
below. If your firm is unable to complete the MS Word questionnaire or cannot use one
of the electronic methods of submission, please contact the Commission for further
instructions.
• Upload via Secure Drop Box.—Upload the MS Word questionnaire along with a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1) through the Commission’s secure upload facility:
Web address: https://dropbox.usitc.gov/oinv/

Pin: WR10

• E-mail.—E-mail your questionnaire to [email protected]; include a scanned copy of the signed
certification page (page 1). Submitters are strongly encouraged to encrypt nonpublic documents that are
electronically transmitted to the Commission to protect your sensitive information from unauthorized
disclosure. The USITC secure drop-box system and the Electronic Document Information System (EDIS)
use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data in
transit. Submitting your nonpublic documents by a means that does not use these encryption algorithms
(such as by email) may subject your firm’s nonpublic information to unauthorized disclosure during
transmission. If you choose a non-encrypted method of electronic transmission, the Commission warns
you that the risk of such possible unauthorized disclosure is assumed by you and not by the Commission.
If your firm did not produce or export this product, please fill out page 1, print, sign, and submit a
scanned copy to the Commission.
Parties to this proceeding.—If your firm is a party to this proceeding, you are required to serve a copy of
the completed questionnaire on parties to the proceeding that are subject to administrative protective
order (see 19 CFR § 207.7). A list of such parties may be obtained from the Commission’s Secretary (202205-1803). A certificate of service must accompany the completed questionnaire you submit (see 19 CFR
§ 207.7). Service of the questionnaire must be made in paper form.
