the reimbursement of antidumping and/

Republic of China (China). Based on 

Jinan Mech Piping Technology Co., Ltd

Background 

On July 6, 1992, Commerce published 

in the Federal Register the antidumping 

duty order on carbon steel butt-weld 

pipe fittings from China.1 In July 2018, 

Commerce received multiple timely 

requests to conduct an administrative 

review of the Order. Based upon these 

requests, on September 10, 2018, in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review covering the 

period July 1, 2017, through June 30, 

2018, with respect to two companies: 

Jinan Mech Piping Technology Co., Ltd. 

and Pantech Steel Industries SDN BHD.2

On October 11, 2018, Jinan Mech timely 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review.3 No other party 

requested an administrative review of 

Jinan Mech. 

Rescission 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party who requested the 

review withdraws the request within 90 

days of the date of publication of notice 

of initiation of the requested review, 

and no other party requested a review 

of the company. Jinan Mech timely 

withdrew its request for an 

administrative review, and no other 

party requested a review of Jinan Mech. 

Accordingly, we are rescinding this 

review of the Order for the period July 

1, 2017, through June 30, 2018, with 

respect to Jinan Mech, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). This 

administrative review will continue 

with respect to Pantech Steel Industries 

SDN BHD. 

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries. For the company for which this 

review is rescinded, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed on its entries of subject 

merchandise during the period of 

review at rates equal to the cash deposit 

of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends 

to issue appropriate assessment 

instructions directly to CBP 15 days 

after publication of this notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a reminder to 

importers of their responsibility under 

19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Orders 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 

to govern business proprietary 

information in this segment of the 

proceeding. Timely written notification 

of the return or destruction of APO 

materials or conversion to judicial 

protective order is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. This notice 

is issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a) and 777(i)(l) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4). 

Dated: December 20, 2018.
