Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

Antidumping Duty Changed 

Circumstances Review: Certain Circular 

Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from 

Mexico, 75 FR 71072 (November 22, 

2010) (Preliminary Results). The 

Department made its preliminary 

determination that Lamina y Placa is the 

successor-in-interest to TUNA and 

should be treated as such for 

antidumping duty cash deposit 

purposes. In the Preliminary Results, we 

stated that interested parties could 

submit case briefs to the Department no 

later than 15 days after the publication 

of the Preliminary Results in the Federal 

Register, and submit rebuttal briefs, 

limited to the issues raised in those case 

briefs, five days subsequent to the case 

briefs’ due date. No party submitted 

case briefs or other comments on the 

Preliminary Results. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is circular welded non-alloy steel 

pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, not more than 406.4 millimeters 

(16 inches) in outside diameter, 

regardless of wall thickness, surface 

finish (black, galvanized, or painted), or 

end finish (plain end, beveled end, 

threaded, or threaded and coupled). 

These pipes and tubes are generally 

known as standard pipes and tubes and 

are intended for the low-pressure 

conveyance of water, steam, natural gas, 

and other liquids and gases in plumbing 

and heating systems, air conditioning 

units, automatic sprinkler systems, and 

other related uses, and generally meet 

ASTM A–53 specifications. Standard 

pipe may also be used for light loadbearing applications, such as for fence 

tubing, and as structural pipe tubing 

used for framing and support members 

for reconstruction or load-bearing 

purposes in the construction, 

shipbuilding, trucking, farm equipment, 

and related industries. Unfinished 

conduit pipe is also included in this 

order. All carbon steel pipes and tubes 

within the physical description outlined 

above are included within the scope of 

this order, except line pipe, oil country 

tubular goods, boiler tubing, mechanical 

tubing, pipe and tube hollows for 

redraws, finished scaffolding, and 

finished conduit. Standard pipe that is 

dual or triple certified/stenciled that 

enters the United States as line pipe of 

a kind used for oil or gas pipelines is 

also not included in this order. 

Imports of the products covered by 

this order are currently classifiable 

under the following Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 7306.30.10.00, 

7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32, 

7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55, 

7306.30.50.85, and 7306.30.50.90. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of this order is dispositive. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Review 

Based on the information provided by 

Lamina y Placa, the Department’s 

analysis in the Preliminary Results 

(which we incorporate herein by 

reference), and in light of the fact that 

interested parties did not submit any 

comments during the comment period, 

the Department hereby determines that 

Lamina y Placa is the successor-ininterest to TUNA for antidumping duty 

cash deposit purposes. 

Instructions to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection 

The Department will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

continue to suspend liquidation of all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

produced and exported by Lamina y 

Placa entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after 

the publication date of this notice in the 

Federal Register at the rate of 2.92 

percent (i.e., TUNA’s cash deposit rate).
