SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 11, 2020, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty order on forged steel 

fittings from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea).1 On February 2, 2023, based on 

a timely request for review, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review of the Order.2

This review covers one producer/ 

exporter of the subject merchandise, 

Samyoung Fitting Co., Ltd. (Samyoung). 

For a detailed description of the events 

that followed the initiation of this 

review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by the Order is 

carbon and alloy forged steel fittings, 

whether unfinished (commonly known 

as blanks or rough forgings) or finished. 

Such fittings are made in a variety of 

shapes including, but not limited to, 

elbows, tees, crosses, laterals, couplings, 

reducers, caps, plugs, bushings, unions 

(including hammer unions), and outlets. 

Forged steel fittings are covered 

regardless of end finish, whether 

threaded, socket-weld or other end 

connections. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). Export 

price and constructed export price are 

calculated in accordance with section 

772 of the Act. NV is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s

Memorandum can be accessed directly

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following estimated weighted average 

dumping margin exists for Samyoung 

for the POR:

Eastern Time on the established

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

issues raised in any written briefs, not 

later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, unless 

otherwise extended.12

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results 

of this administrative review, Commerce 

shall determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries.13 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), if Samyoung’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

intend to calculate importer-specific 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the importer’s examined sales to the 

total entered value of those same sales 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).14 If Samyoung’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis within the meaning 

of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.15 The final results 

of this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.16

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Samyoung 

for which it did not know that the 

merchandise it sold was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.17

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective for all shipments of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of the final results of this 

administrative review, as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for the company listed 

above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review, except if 

the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, 

therefore, de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in 

which case the cash deposit rate will be 

zero; (2) for merchandise exported by a 

company not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published in the completed segment for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, or a previous segment, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 17.08 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.18 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(4).
