SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 4, 2021, based on timely 

requests for review, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an 

administrative review on circular 

welded carbon-quality steel pipe (CWP) 

from the United Arab Emirates (UAE).1

This review covers five producers/ 

exporters of the subject merchandise. 

Commerce selected Ajmal Steel Tubes & 

Pipes Ind. L.L.C./Ajmal Steel Tubes & 

Pipes Ind., L.L.C.-Branch-1 (collectively, 

Ajmal) 2 and Universal Tube and Plastic 

Industries, Ltd./THL Tube and Pipe 

Industries LLC/KHK Scaffolding and 

Framework LLC (collectively, Universal) 

for individual examination.3

On August 18, 2021, Commerce 

extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this 

administrative review until December 

30, 2021.4 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.5

Scope of the Order 6

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is welded carbon-quality steel pipes and 

tube, of circular cross-section, with an 

outside diameter not more than nominal 

16 inches (406.4 mm), regardless of wall 

thickness, surface finish, end finish, or 

industry specification, and generally 

known as standard pipe, fence pipe and 

tube, sprinkler pipe, or structural pipe 

(although subject product may also be 

referred to as mechanical tubing). The

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

and (2) 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 our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

topics discussed in the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix 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/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

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 that 

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 {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

Consistent with section 735(c)(5)(A) 

of the Act, we determined the weightedaverage dumping margin for each of the 

non-selected companies by using the 

weighted-average dumping margins 

calculated for Ajmal and Universal in 

this administrative review. 

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period December 1, 

2019, through November 30, 2020: 

Exporter/producer 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin

summary of the argument; and (3) a 

table of authorities.11 Case and rebuttal 

briefs should be filed using ACCESS.12

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information until further 

notice.13

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing must submit a written request to 

the Acting Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, filed 

electronically via ACCESS within 30 

days after publication of this notice.14

Hearing 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. 

Oral presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to issues raised in the briefs. If 

a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.15

Parties should confirm by telephone the 

date and time of the hearing two days 

before the scheduled date. 

An electronically filed document 

must be received successfully in its 

entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on the established 

deadline. 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis 

raised in any written briefs, not later 

than 120 days after the publication date 

of this notice, unless otherwise 

extended.16

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of the 

administrative review, Commerce shall 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries.17 If the weighted average 

dumping margin for Ajmal or Universal

18 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied 

the assessment rate calculation adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for 

Reviews).

20See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. 

21For a full discussion of this practice, see 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 

(May 6, 2003). 22See Order. 

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

0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for each importer’s examined sales to 

the total entered value of those same 

sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1).18 Where the respondent 

did not report entered value, we will 

calculate the entered value in order to 

calculate the assessment rate. If the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the respondents listed above is zero or 

de minimis in the final results, or an 

importer-specific assessment rate is zero 

or de minimis in the final results, we 

will instruct CBP not to assess 

antidumping duties on any of their 

entries in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews.19

For the companies that were not 

selected for individual review, we 

intend to assign an assessment rate 

based on the methodology described in 

the ‘‘Rate 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 the 

final results of this review and for future 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable.20

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by companies included in these final 

results of review for which the reviewed 

companies did not know that the 

merchandise they sold to the 

intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading 

company, or exporter) was destined for 

the United States. In such instances, 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.21

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 deposit requirements 

will be effective 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 the exporters listed 

above will be that established in the 

final results of this 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 

participating in this review, 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 was 

reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review or previous 

segment, but the manufacturer is, then 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recentlycompleted segment for the producer of 

the merchandise; and (4) the cash 

deposit rate for all other producers or 

exporters will continue to be 5.95 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.22 These 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 

results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
