    On July 7, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results of the

Goodluck and TII.\1\ For the events that occurred since Commerce

margins exists for the period June 1, 2021, through May 31, 2022:

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days 
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this 
proceeding, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Entries for Goodluck India Limited may have been made under 
the following company names: Goodluck India Limited; Good Luck Steel 
Tubes Limited; and Good Luck Industries.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 
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).
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the 
entered value of its U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent 
did not report entered value, we calculated importer-specific per-unit 
duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total 
quantity of those sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is 
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer 
will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. To determine 
whether an importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rate is de 
minimis, we calculated an estimated entered value.
    Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment 
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Goodluck or TII for which they did not know the 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.\5\

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from India entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication of the final results as provided by section 751(a)(2) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Goodluck and TII will be equal 
to the weighted-average dumping margin established for each company 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 completed 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 the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 
investigation, 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; (4) the cash deposit rate 
for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 5.87 percent, 
the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation in this 
proceeding.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

    \6\ See Order, 83 FR at 26962, 26965.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties 
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure 
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption 
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred 
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an 
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the 
countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and 
terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 16, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
