Administrative Protective Order

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under the 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/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 

which is subject to sanction.

Circular Welded Carbon Steel Standard

Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

sales of circular welded carbon steel 

standard pipe and tube products from 

Turkey were made at less than normal 

value (NV) during the period of review 

(POR) May 1, 2021, through April 30, 

2022. 

DATES: Applicable December 8, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 7, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results and invited 

interested parties to comment.1 These 

final results cover one producer and 

exporter of subject merchandise for 

which an administrative review was 

initiated and not rescinded. The sole 

respondent in this administrative 

review is Borusan Mannesmann Boru 

Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. (Borusan 

Mannesmann) and Borusan Istikbal 

Ticaret T.A.S. (Istikbal) (collectively, 

Borusan).2 On July 7, 2023, Borusan 

submitted a case brief.3 On July 14, 

2023, Wheatland Tube Company 

(Wheatland), a domestic producer and 

interested party, submitted a rebuttal 

brief.4 On September 6, 2023, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results by 57 days to December 1, 

2023.5 Commerce conducted this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). 

On October 12, 2022, Nucor Tubular 

Products Inc. (Nucor), a petitioner in 

this proceeding, withdrew its request for 

an administrative review with respect to 

every company except Borusan.6 With 

respect to Istikbal, one of the companies 

which claimed no shipments during the 

POR, we continue 7 to find it to be part 

of the single entity, Borusan, and we 

find no record evidence that warrants 

altering this treatment. Further, no party 

presented comments addressing this 

issue in their case briefs. Therefore, 

because we find that Borusan had 

shipments during this POR, we have not 

made a determination of no shipments 

with respect to Istikbal and the 

withdrawal of request for review is 

moot. 

Scope of the Order 8

The scope of the Order covers circular 

welded carbon steel standard pipe and 

tube products from Turkey. A full 

description of the scope of the Order is 

contained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.9

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by parties in this 

review are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is provided in 

the appendix to this notice. 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 https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed at

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, and for the reasons 

explained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, we made certain changes 

from the Preliminary Results.10

Final Results of Administrative Review 

For these final results, we determine 

that the following weighted-average

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results of review to 

parties in this review within five days 

after public announcement of the final 

results or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. For Borusan, 

we calculated importer-specific 

assessment rates on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for each importer’s examined 

sales and the total entered value of those 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific 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. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Borusan 

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 the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.11

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 cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties will be effective upon publication 

of this notice for all shipments of 

circular welded carbon steel standard 

pipe and tube products 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 the companies subject to this 

review will be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping 

margin 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 

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, a prior 

review, or the original investigation, but 

the producer has been covered in a prior 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

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 14.74 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value investigation 

of this proceeding.12 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

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 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 duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction or return 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 destruction or return 

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 

sanctionable violation. 

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 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
