SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

This preliminary determination is 

made in accordance with section 733(b) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce published the 

notice of initiation of this LTFV 

investigation on August 4, 2020.1 On 

November 18, 2020, Commerce 

postponed the preliminary 

determination of this investigation and 

the revised deadline is now January 26, 

2021.2 For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this investigation, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix 

II to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. 

The signed and the electronic versions 

of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are copper pipe and tube 

from Vietnam. For a full description of 

the scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

In accordance with the preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations,4 the Initiation 

Notice set aside a period of time for 

parties to raise issues regarding product 

coverage (i.e., scope).5 Commerce 

received no comments from interested 

parties regarding the scope of this 

investigation. Accordingly, Commerce 

has not modified the scope language as 

it appeared in the Initiation Notice. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Commerce has 

calculated export prices in accordance

with section 772(a) of the Act. Because 

Vietnam is a non-market economy 

within the meaning of section 771(18) of 

the Act, Commerce has calculated 

normal value (NV) in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying the preliminary 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Negative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

In accordance with sections 

733(e)(1)(A)(i) and (ii) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.206, Commerce preliminary 

finds that critical circumstances do not 

exist for Hailiang (Vietnam) Copper 

Manufacturing Company Limited/ 

Hongkong Hailiang Metal Trading 

Limited, for the non-individually 

investigated companies qualifying for a 

separate rate, and for the Vietnam-wide 

entity. For a full description of the 

methodology and results of Commerce’s 

critical circumstances analysis, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,6 Commerce 

explained that it would calculate 

producer/exporter combination rates for 

the respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation.7

Preliminary Determination

that the following estimated weightedaverage dumping margins exist for the

Suspension of Liquidation 

In accordance with section 733(d)(2) 

of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

suspend liquidation of entries of subject 

merchandise, as described in Appendix 

I, entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, as discussed 

below. Further, pursuant to section 

733(d)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.205(d), Commerce will instruct CBP 

to require a cash deposit equal to the 

weighted average amount by which NV 

exceeds U.S. price, as indicated in the 

table above as follows: (1) For the 

producer/exporter combinations listed 

in the table above, the cash deposit rate 

is equal to the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin listed for that 

combination in the table; (2) for all 

combinations of Vietnam producers/ 

exporters of the merchandise under 

consideration that have not established 

eligibility for their own separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin established for the Vietnamwide entity; and (3) for all third-country 

exporters of merchandise under 

consideration not listed in the table 

above, the cash deposit rate is the cash 

deposit rate applicable to the Vietnam 

producer/exporter combination (or the 

Vietnam-wide entity) that supplied that 

third-country exporter. These 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose its 

calculations and analysis performed to 

interested parties in this preliminary 

determination within five days of any 

public announcement or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of this notice 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to verify the 

information relied upon in making its 

final determination. Normally, 

Commerce verifies information using 

standard procedures, including an onsite examination of original accounting, 

financial, and sales documentation. 

However, due to current travel 

restrictions in response to the global 

COVID–19 pandemic, Commerce is 

unable to conduct on-site verification in 

this investigation. Accordingly, we 

intend to verify the information relied 

upon in making the final determination 

through alternative means in lieu of an 

on-site verification. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. A timeline for the

briefs, may be submitted no later than

temporarily modified certain of its 

requirements for serving documents 

containing business proprietary 

information, until further notice.9
