Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty 

Order on Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel 

Continued 

in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2). If a respondent’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, i.e., ‘‘{w}here the weightedaverage margin of dumping for the 

exporter is determined to be zero or de 

minimis, no antidumping duties will be 

assessed.’’ 18 For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Maquilacero/TEFLU or Perfiles for 

which the producer 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 (or companies) 

involved in the transaction.19

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 

duties at an ad valorem assessment rate 

equal to the company-specific weightedaverage dumping margin determined in 

these final results. For the companies 

for which we intend to rescind the 

administrative review, upon issuance of 

the final results, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 

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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 each company 

listed above will be that established in 

the final results of this administrative 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent, and therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash 

deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously reviewed or investigated 

companies not listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recently completed segment of this 

proceeding in which the company 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or in the investigation but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 3.76 percent, the 

rate established in the investigation of 

this proceeding.20 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

our analysis of all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, within 120 days 

of publication of these preliminary 

results in the Federal Register.21

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 

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 these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

Act.

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), upon 

completion of this administrative 

review, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review.14 If 

Interpipe’s weighted-average dumping 

margin in the final results of this review 

is not zero or de minimis (i.e., greater 

than or equal to 0.5 percent), we will 

calculate importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates for the merchandise by 

dividing the total amount of dumping 

calculated for all reviewed sales to the 

importer by the total entered value of 

the merchandise sold to the importer.15

Where either Interpipe’s ad valorem 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.16

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Interpipe for 

which it did not know was destined for 

the United States, we intend to instruct 

CBP to liquidate those entries at the allothers rate (i.e., 23.75 percent) 17 in the 

original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.18

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, Commerce 

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 in effect for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the notice of the final 

results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 

cash deposit rate for Interpipe will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established for Interpipe in the 

final results of this administrative 

review, except if the rate is less than 

0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), then the cash deposit rate 

will be zero; (2) for producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

that were previously reviewed or 

investigated in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the rate assigned to the 

company in the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in 

which the producer or exporter was 

examined; (3) if the exporter of the 

subject merchandise does not have a 

company-specific rate but the producer 

of the subject merchandise does, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

assigned to the producer of the subject 

merchandise in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which the producer was examined; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be the all-others rate of 23.75 percent 

that was established in the investigation 

in this proceeding.19 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) 

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 these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(4).
