review for all reviewed U.S. sales to the 

importer/customer by the total quantity 

of those sales. While Commerce will 

calculate estimated ad valorem importer 

or customer-specific assessment rates to 

determine whether the per-unit 

assessment rates are de minimis, 

Commerce will use the per-unit 

assessment rates where entered values 

were not reported.25 Where either the 

respondent’s ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or an importer or customerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis,26 Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties. 

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise exported 

by an individually examined 

respondent were not reported in the 

U.S. sales data submitted by the 

respondent, but the merchandise was 

entered into the United States during 

the POR, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the antidumping duty 

assessment rate for the China-wide 

entity.27

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries of subject merchandise 

exported by companies that are not 

eligible for a separate rate and which are 

therefore considered to be part of the 

China-wide entity, at the weightedaverage dumping margin for the Chinawide entity, i.e., 144.50 percent.28

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise exported 

by an individually examined 

respondent were not reported in the 

U.S. sales data submitted by the 

respondent, but the merchandise was 

entered into the United States during 

the POR, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the antidumping duty 

assessment rate for the China-wide 

entity.29 Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate entries of subject merchandise 

exported by the companies for which it 

rescinded the review at the cash deposit 

rate required at the time of entry. 

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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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) for an 

exporter granted a separate rate in the 

final results of this review, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review for the exporter (except, if the 

rate is de minimis, then a cash deposit 

rate of zero will be required); (2) for a 

previously investigated or reviewed 

exporter of subject merchandise not 

under review that has a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter’s existing cash deposit rate; 

(3) for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal 

to the weighted-average dumping 

margin assigned to the China-wide 

entity, which is 144.50 percent; and (4) 

for a non-China exporter of subject 

merchandise that does not have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 

exporter. 

These cash deposit requirements, 

when imposed, shall remain in effect 

until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in case and 

rebuttal briefs, within 120 days of 

publication of these preliminary results 

of review in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 and/ 

or countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the 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. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

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

2024, in accordance with section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, Commerce 

extended the preliminary results of 

review until September 27, 2024.2 On 

July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled certain 

deadlines in this administrative 

proceeding by seven days.3 The 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

review is now October 4, 2024. For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this 

administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4 A 

list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as Appendix I to this notice. 

The Preliminary 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 Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

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

Scope of the Order 5

The product covered by the Order is 

OCTG from Korea. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(2) of the Act. 

Commerce has calculated export prices 

in accordance with section 772(a) of the 

Act. Constructed export prices have 

been calculated in accordance with 

section 772(b) of the Act. Normal value 

is calculated in accordance with section 

773 of the Act. For a full description of 

the methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rates for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 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 weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely under 

section 776 of the Act. 

In this administrative review, 

Commerce preliminarily found a zero 

percent margin for NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. 

Therefore, the only rate that is not zero, 

de minimis, or based entirely on facts 

otherwise available is the rate calculated 

for SeAH Steel Corporation (SeAH). 

Consequently, the rate calculated for 

SeAH is also assigned as the rate for the 

non-individually examined companies. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily finds that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

NEXTEEL Co., Ltd ..................... 0.00 

SeAH Steel Corporation ............. 0.53 

Review-Specific Rate for NonExamined Companies: 

AJU Besteel Co., Ltd .............. 0.53 

Hyundai Steel Company ......... 0.53 

Husteel Co., Ltd ...................... 0.53 

ILJIN Steel Corporation .......... 0.53 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations and analysis performed for 

these preliminary results to interested 

parties within five days of public 

announcement of the preliminary 

results or, if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.6 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.7 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.8

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 

administrative 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.9 Further, we request that 

interested parties limit their public 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the public 

executive summaries as the basis of the 

comment summaries included in the 

issues and decision memorandum that 

will accompany the final results of this 

review. We request that interested 

parties include footnotes for relevant 

citations in the public 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).10

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain the party’s name, 

address, and telephone number, the 

number of participants, whether any 

participant is a foreign national, and a 

list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and

the scheduled date. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results of review, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rate 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.11

For any individually examined 

respondents whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis 

(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) 

in the final results of this review, we 

will calculate importer-specific ad 

valorem duty assessment rates based on 

the ratio of the total amount of 

antidumping duties calculated for the 

examined sales to the total entered 

value of the examined sales to that 

importer, and we will instruct CBP to 

assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. For entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by each respondent for which it did not 

know its merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the all-others 

rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.12 Where the 

individually-selected respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

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

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we 

intend to assign an assessment rate 

based on the methodology described in 

the ‘‘Rates for Non-Examined 

Companies’’ section. The final results of 

this review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise covered by this 

review where applicable. 

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.13 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 of the notice of final results 

of this administrative review for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

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 listed in the final 

results of review will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters 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 for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

investigation but the producer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 5.24 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.14 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)(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 to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

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

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
