Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe 

From the Republic of Korea: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review and 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments; 2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 

finds that circular welded non-alloy 

steel pipe (CWP) from the Republic of 

Korea (Korea) was sold at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR), November 1, 2021, 

through October 31, 2022. We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable December 6, 2023.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 2, 1992, Commerce 

published the Order on CWP from Korea 

in the Federal Register.1 On November 

1, 2022, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register a notice of opportunity 

to request an administrative review of 

the Order.2 On January 3, 2023, based 

on timely requests for an administrative 

review, Commerce initiated an 

antidumping duty administrative review 

of 23 companies.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is circular welded non-alloy steel pipe 

and tube, of circular cross-section, not 

more than 406.4 millimeters (16 inches) 

in outside diameter, regardless of wall 

thickness, surface finish (black, 

galvanized, or painted), or end finish 

(plain end, beveled end, threaded, or 

threaded and coupled). A full 

description of the scope of the Order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.4

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 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. Normal value is 

calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as 

Appendix I 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is available at

8With two respondents under examination, 

Commerce normally calculates (A) a weightedaverage of the dumping margins calculated for the 

examined respondents; (B) a simple average of the 

dumping margins calculated for the examined 

respondents; and (C) a weighted-average of the 

dumping margins calculated for the examined 

respondents using each company’s publicly-ranged 

U.S. sale quantities for the merchandise under 

consideration. Commerce then compares (B) and (C) 

to (A) and selects the rate closest to (A) as the most 

appropriate rate for all other producers and 

exporters. See, e.g., Ball Bearings and Parts Thereof 

from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United 

Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Reviews, Final Results of ChangedCircumstances Review, and Revocation of an Order 

in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010). 

9See Appendix II for a full list of companies not 

individually examined in this review. However, as 

we find HiSteel preliminarily to have no shipments, 

we will not assign HiSteel the non-selected 

company rate.

351.106(c)(2). 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

One company under review, HiSteel 

Co., Ltd. (HiSteel), timely filed a noshipment letter, certifying that it made 

no sales or exports of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR.5 We received no information 

from U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) that contradicts 

HiSteel’s no-shipments claim.6

Therefore, we preliminarily determine 

that HiSteel had no shipments during 

the POR. Consistent with Commerce’s 

practice, we find that it is not 

appropriate to rescind the review with 

respect to HiSteel, but rather to 

complete the review and issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP based 

on the final results of this review.7

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for examination 

when Commerce limits its examination 

in an administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a 

market economy investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely on the 

basis of facts available. In this review, 

we preliminarily calculated dumping 

margins for the two mandatory 

respondents, Hyundai Steel Company 

(Hyundai Steel) and Husteel Co., Ltd. 

(Husteel), of 0.99 and 0.65 percent, 

respectively, and we have assigned to 

the non-selected companies a rate of 

0.82 percent, which is the weightedaverage dumping margins of Husteel 

and Hyundai Steel weighted by their 

publicly ranged U.S. sales values.8

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period November 

1, 2021, through October 31, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Disclosure and Public Comment 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed to parties within five days 

after public announcement of the 

preliminary results.10 Pursuant to 19 

CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of this 

notice. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues 

raised in the case briefs, may be filed 

not later than five days after the date for 

filing case briefs.11 Interested parties 

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs 

in this proceeding must submit: (1) a 

table of contents listing each issue; and 

(2) a table of authorities.12 As provided 

under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), 

in prior proceedings, we have 

encouraged interested parties to provide 

an executive summary of their brief that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide, at the beginning of their briefs, 

a public executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.13 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, no including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the issues and 

decision memorandum that will 

accompany the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).14

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. 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 briefs. An electronically 

filed hearing request must be received 

successfully in its entirety by 

Commerce’s electronic records system, 

ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time 

within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. If either of the respondents’ 

weighted-average dumping margins is 

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

0.50 percent) in the final results of this 

review, we intend to calculate an 

importer-specific assessment rate based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of those same sales in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).15 If either of 

the respondents’ weighted-average 

dumping margin or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of review, we intend to 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.16 The 

final results of this administrative 

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.17

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by either of 

the respondents for which they did not 

know that the merchandise was 

destined to 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.18 For the 

companies identified in Appendix II 

that were not selected for individual 

examination, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries at the rate established 

after the completion of the final results 

of review. 

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 will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of CWP from Korea 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 the respondents will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative review; (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 the original 

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 4.80 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.19 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is otherwise 

extended, Commerce intends to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised by interested 

parties in the written comments, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1). 

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 POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
