Although these HTSUS subheadings 

are provided for convenience and 

customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of these Orders 

is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders is December 28, 2023.6

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 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 which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 22, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the LTFV investigation of tin mill 

products from China.1 We invited 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination. On September 12, 2023, 

Commerce published in the Federal 

Register, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(g), 

notice of postponement of the final 

determination to January 4, 2024.2

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.3 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 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are tin mill products from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

During the course of this 

investigation, Commerce received scope 

comments from parties. Commerce 

issued a Preliminary Scope Decision 

Memorandum to address these 

comments and set aside a period of time 

for parties to address scope issues in 

scope-specific case and rebuttal briefs.4

We received comments from parties on 

the Preliminary Scope Memorandum, 

which we address in the Final Scope 

Decision Memorandum.5 We did not 

make any changes to the scope of the 

investigation from the scope published 

in the Preliminary Determination, as 

noted in Appendix I. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by interested parties in 

this investigation are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues raised is attached to 

this notice as Appendix II. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

We continue find that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of tin 

mill products from China for the Chinawide entity pursuant to sections 

735(a)(3)(A) and (B) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.206.6 For a discussion and analysis 

of comments regarding the results of 

Commerce’s critical circumstances 

analysis, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.7

China-Wide Entity and Use of Adverse 

Facts Available (AFA) 

For the purposes of this final 

determination, consistent with the 

Preliminary Determination,8 we relied 

solely on the application of AFA for the 

rate assigned to China-wide entity, 

pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act. Further, because no companies 

are eligible for a rate separate from the 

China-wide entity, we continue to find 

that all known exporters of Chinese tin 

mill products are part of the China-wide 

entity. After review and consideration of 

parties’ comments, as explained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, we 

made no changes to the China-wide 

entity’s dumping margin for the final 

determination.9

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice, Commerce 

stated that it would calculate producer/ 

exporter combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation.10

Because no Chinese exporters are 

eligible for a separate rate in this 

investigation, we did not calculate 

producer/exporter combination rates for 

this final determination. 

Final Determination 

The final estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin is as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Estimated 

weighted-average 

dumping margin 

(percent) 

Estimated 

weighted-average 

dumping margin 

adjusted for 

export subsidy 

offset(s) 

(percent) 

China-Wide Entity ........................................................................................................................................ 122.52 111.98 

Disclosure 

Normally, Commerce will disclose to 

the parties in a proceeding the 

calculations performed in connection 

with a final determination within five 

days of any public announcement or, if 

there is no public announcement, 

within five days of the date of 

publication of the notice of final 

determination in the Federal Register, 

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because Commerce continues 

to find that all Chinese exporters of tin 

mill products are part of the China-wide 

entity and continues to rely solely on 

the application of AFA for the Chinawide entity, there are no calculations to 

disclose for this final determination.

Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative 

Countervailing Duty Determination, and Alignment 

of Final Determination With Final Antidumping 

Duty Determination, 88 FR 41373 (June 26, 2023); 

see also section 703(d) of the Act, which states that 

the provisional measures may not be in effect for 

more than four months, which in the companion 

CVD case is 120 days after the publication of the 

preliminary determination, or October 24, 2023. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with sections 

735(c)(1)(B) and 735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, 

for the China-wide entity, Commerce 

will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of subject merchandise as 

described in Appendix I of this notice, 

which were entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption, on or after 

May 24, 2023, which is 90 days prior to 

the date of publication of the 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. These suspension of 

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. 

To determine the cash deposit rate, 

Commerce normally adjusts the 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin by the amount of domestic 

subsidy pass-through and export 

subsidies determined in a companion 

countervailing duty (CVD) proceeding 

when CVD provisional measures are in 

effect. Accordingly, where Commerce 

makes an affirmative determination for 

domestic subsidy pass-through or export 

subsidies, Commerce offsets the 

calculated estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin by the appropriate 

rates. Commerce has continued to adjust 

the cash deposit rate for the China-wide 

entity for export subsidies in the 

companion CVD investigation by the 

appropriate export subsidy rate as 

indicated in the above chart.11 However, 

suspension of liquidation of provisional 

measures in the companion CVD case 

has been discontinued; 12 therefore, we 

are not instructing CBP to collect cash 

deposits based upon the adjusted 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for those export subsidies at this 

time. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), we will 

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit 

for such entries of merchandise equal to 

the amount by which the normal value 

exceeds the U.S. price as follows: (1) for 

all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the estimated dumping 

margin established for the China-wide 

entity; and (2) for all third country 

exporters of subject merchandise, the 

cash deposit rate is also the cash deposit 

rate applicable to the China-wide entity. 

These suspension of liquidation 

instructions will remain in effect until 

further notice. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

our final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because the final 

determination in this proceeding is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

tin mill products from China no later 

than 45 days after this final 

determination. If the ITC determines 

that material injury or threat of material 

injury does not exist, the proceeding 

will be terminated and all cash deposits 

will be refunded or canceled, and 

suspension of liquidation will be lifted. 

If the ITC determines that such injury 

does exist, Commerce will issue an 

antidumping duty order directing CBP 

to assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties on all 

imports of the subject merchandise that 

are entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the effective date of the suspension of 

liquidation, as discussed above in the 

‘‘Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation’’ section. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This final determination and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 735(d) and 777(i) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: January 4, 2024.

Cast Iron Soil Pipe Fittings From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty 

Order and Countervailing Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order and countervailing duty 

(CVD) order on cast iron soil pipe 

fittings (soil pipe fittings) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China) 

would likely lead to a continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of the AD and CVD orders.
