2 In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated 

Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 

and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single 

entity. See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe 

and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of

80 FR 76674, 76674 n.2 (December 10, 2015) 

(Welded Pipe and Tube from Turkey 2013–2014). 

We preliminarily determine that there is no 

evidence on the record for altering our treatment of 

Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. 

and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S., as a single 

entity. The record does not support treating the 

following companies as part of the Borusan 

Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S./Borusan 

Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. entity: (1) Borusan Birlesik; 

(2) Borusan Gemlik; (3) Borusan Ihracat; (4) Borusan 

Ithicat; and (5) Tubeco. Accordingly, as discussed 

infra, each of these five companies will be assigned 

the rate applicable to companies not selected for 

individual examination in this review. 

3 In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis 

Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Metal as a single entity. 

See, e.g., Welded Pipe and Tube from Turkey 2013– 

2014. We preliminarily determine that there is no 

evidence on the record for altering our treatment of 

Toscelik Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Tosyali Dis 

Ticaret A.S., and Toscelik Metal as a single entity. 

we will instruct CBP not to assess duties 

on any of its entries in accordance with 

the Final Modification for Reviews.8

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by TFM for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP 15 days after publication of the 

final results of this review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the notice of final results 

of administrative review for all 

shipments of OBAs from Taiwan 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication as provided by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash 

deposit rate for TFM will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters 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 for the most recent period; (3) 

if the exporter is not a firm covered in 

this review, a prior review, or the 

original investigation but the producer 

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recent period 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 6.19 percent.9 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 the 

Secretary’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 351.213(h)(1).

extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results to May 14, 2018.5

On May 7, 2018, we further extended 

the deadline for the preliminary results, 

until June 4, 2018.6

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.7

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is welded pipe and tube. The welded 

pipe and tube subject to the order is 

currently classifiable under subheading 

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 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

The HTSUS subheading is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes. A 

full description of the scope of the order 

is contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751 of the 

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

Export price is calculated in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Normal 

value 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 the 

topics included in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is included in 

the Appendix to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is made available 

to the public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov and to all 

parties in Commerce’s Central Records 

Unit, located at Room B8024 of the main 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ 

index.html. The signed and the 

electronic versions of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum are identical in 

content. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

On July 22, 2017, Cayirova, Yucel, 

and Yucelboru submitted a letter to 

Commerce certifying that they each 

individually had no sales, shipments, or 

entries of the subject merchandise to the 

United State during the POR.8 On July 

24, 2017, Erbosan submitted a letter to 

Commerce certifying that it had no 

sales, shipments, or entries of the 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR.9 Erbosan further 

certified that it did not know or have 

reason to know that any of its customers 

would subsequently export or sell 

Erbosan’s merchandise to the United 

States during the POR. On August 7, 

2017, Borusan Istikbal, Borusan Birlesik, 

Borusan Gemlik, Borusan Ihracat, 

Borusan Ithicat, and Tubeco submitted 

a letter to Commerce certifying that they 

each individually had no sales, 

shipments, or entries of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR.10 On April 25, 2018, consistent 

with our practice, we issued a ‘‘No 

Shipment Inquiry’’ to U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) to confirm that 

there were no entries of welded pipe 

and tube from Turkey exported by 

Erbosan, Borusan Istikbal, Borusan 

Birlesik, Borusan Gemlik, Borusan 

Ihracat, Borusan Ithicat, Tubeco, 

Cayirova, Yucel, or Yucelboru during 

the POR.11 With one exception, we 

received no information from CBP 

regarding the existence of entries of 

subject merchandise from these 

companies during the POR. The one 

exception was information concerning 

one of the companies (whose name is 

business proprietary) that indicated it 

had shipments to the United States 

during the POR. We intend to seek 

additional information from CBP 

concerning these alleged shipments, and 

solicit comments from interested parties 

concerning them.12

Based on the foregoing, we 

preliminarily determine that Erbosan, 

Borusan Birlesik, Borusan Gemlik, 

Borusan Ihracat, Borusan Ithicat, 

Tubeco, Cayirova, Yucel, and Yucelboru 

each had no shipments during the POR. 

Also, consistent with our practice, we 

find that it is not appropriate to rescind 

the review with respect to these nine 

companies, but rather to complete the 

review with respect to them, and to 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of this 

review.13 Thus, if we continue to find 

that Erbosan, Borusan Birlesik, Borusan 

Gemlik, Borusan Ihracat, Borusan 

Ithicat, Tubeco, Cayirova, Yucel, and 

Yucelboru had no shipments of subject 

merchandise in the final results, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate any existing 

entries of subject merchandise produced 

by them, but exported by other parties, 

at the rate for the intermediate reseller, 

if available, or at the all-others rate.14

Furthermore, as noted above, Borusan 

Istikbal also submitted a no-shipment 

certification on August 8, 2017. 

However, also as noted above, we 

continue to find Borusan Istikbal to be 

part of the single entity, Borusan, and 

we find no record evidence that 

warrants altering this treatment. 

Therefore, because we find that Borusan 

had shipments during this POR, we 

have not made a preliminary 

determination of no-shipments with 

respect to Borusan Istikbal. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose to interested 

parties the calculations performed in 

connection with these preliminary 

results within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice.15 Interested 

parties may submit cases briefs no later 

than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.16 Rebuttal 

briefs, limited to issues raised in the 

case briefs, may be filed not later than 

five days after the due date for filing 

case briefs.17 Parties who submit case 

briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 

proceeding are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of 

authorities.18 Case and rebuttal briefs 

should be filed using ACCESS.19

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 

and Compliance, filed electronically via 

ACCESS, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice.20 Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Issues raised in 

the hearing will be limited to those 

raised in the respective case and 

rebuttal briefs. In order to be properly 

filed, all ACCESS submissions must be 

successfully electronically filed in their 

entirety by 5 p.m. Eastern Time. 

Unless otherwise extended, we intend 

to issue the final results of this 

administrative review, including the 

results of our analysis of the issues 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). We intend to issue 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review. 

If either Borusan’s or Toscelik’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 

percent) in the final results of this 

review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of the 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where either a 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

With respect to Erbosan, Borusan 

Birlesik, Borusan Gemlik, Borusan 

Ihracat, Borusan Ithicat, Tubeco, 

Cayirova, Yucel, and Yucelboru, if we 

continue to find that these companies 

had no shipments of subject 

merchandise in the final results, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate any existing 

entries of merchandise produced by 

these companies, but exported by other 

parties, at the rate for the intermediate 

reseller, if available, or at the all-others 

rate.21

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash 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 Toscelik will 

be zero, unless there is a change in 

Toscelik’s dumping margin in the final 

results of this review; (2) the cash 

deposit rate for Borusan will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review, except if the rate is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (3) for other 

manufacturers and exporters covered in 

a prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which that manufacturer 

or exporter participated; (4) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the manufacturer is, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the manufacturer of subject 

merchandise; and (5) the cash deposit 

rate for all other manufacturers or 

exporters will continue to be 14.74 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the LTFV investigation.22 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 the 

Secretary’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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 13, 2014, Commerce 

published the CVD Order on chloro isos 

from China.1 On December 4, 2017, 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register.2 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. On January 16, 

2018, we received case briefs from the 

petitioners,3 the Government of China 

(GOC), and from the mandatory 

respondents, Heze Huayi 4 and 

Kangtai.5 6 On January 29, 2018, we 

received rebuttal briefs from the 

petitioners, the GOC, and from the 

mandatory respondents, Heze Huayi 

and Kangtai.7

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the order are 

chloro isos, which are derivatives are 

cyanuric acid, described as chlorinated 

s-triazine triones.8 Chloro isos are 

currently classifiable under subheadings 

2933.69.6015, 2933.69.6021, 

2933.69.6050, 3808.50.4000, 

3808.94.5000, and 3808.99.9500 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). The HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes; the 

written product description of the scope 

of the order is dispositive. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the parties’ briefs 

are listed in the Appendix to this notice 

and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. The Issues and 

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 http://

access.trade.gov and in the Central 

Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn. The signed Issues and Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on case briefs, rebuttal briefs, 

and all supporting documentation, we 

made a change to Heze Huayi’s 

countervailable subsidy rate to account 

for transpositional errors made in Heze 

Huayi’s calculations. We made no 

changes from the Preliminary Results. 

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). For each of the 

subsidy programs found 

countervailable, we find that there is a 

subsidy, i.e., a government-provided 

financial contribution that gives rise to 

a benefit to the recipient, and that the 

subsidy is specific.9 The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum contains a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying the Department’s 

conclusions, including any 

determination that relied upon the use 

of adverse facts available pursuant to 

sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act. 

Final Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the
