liquidate that respondent’s entries 

without regards to antidumping duties 

in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here 

the weighted-average margin of 

dumping for the exporter is determined 

to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 19

Further, if an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

then we will instruct CBP to liquidate 

that importer’s entries without regards 

to antidumping duties.20 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. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Toyo 

Kohan for which it did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

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

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.21 The all-others rate is 

45.42 percent.22

We intend to issue liquidation 

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 final results of this 

administrative review 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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 companies subject 

to this review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit 

will be required); (2) for merchandise 

exported by a producer or exporter not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior, completed segment of this 

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 lessthan-fair value investigation but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established a prior, completed 

segment of this proceeding for the most 

recent period for the producer of the 

subject merchandise; or (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will be the all-others rate of 

45.42 percent established in the 

investigation.23 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 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 this 

notice in accordance with sections 

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

Preliminary Finding of No Shipments 

The record evidence in this review 

indicates that Tosc ̧elik Profil ve Sac 

Endu ̈ strisi A.S ̧. and Tosyali Dis Ticaret 

A.S. (collectively, Tosc ̧elik) 3 had no

determine that Tosc ̧elik had no 

shipments during the POR. For 

additional information on our 

preliminary finding of no shipments, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. If Yu ̈ cel’s weightedaverage dumping margin is above de 

minimis in the final results of this 

review, we will calculate an importerspecific assessment rate on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for each 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of the sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Yu ̈ cel’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP not to 

assess duties on any of its entries in 

accordance with the Final Modification 

for Reviews.7

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Yu ̈ cel 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. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual examination, 

C ̧ayirova Boru San A.S ̧., HG Tubulars 

Canada Ltd., and Yu ̈ celboru I ̇hracat, 

Ithalat, we will instruct CBP to apply 

the rates listed above to all entries of 

subject merchandise produced and/or 

exported by these firms. 

We intend to issue liquidation 

instructions to CBP 15 days after 

publication of the final results of this 

review. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following deposit requirements 

will be effective upon publication of the 

notice of final results of administrative 

review for all shipments of OCTG from 

Turkey entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

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

deposit rate for companies subject to 

this review will be the rates established 

in the final results of the 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 35.86 percent,8 the all-others rate 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation, adjusted for the exportsubsidy rate established in the 

companion countervailing duty 

investigation. 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. 

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.
