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 of the 

antidumping duty order on welded line 

pipe from the Republic of Korea 

(Korea).1 The period of review is 

December 1, 2019, through November 

30, 2020. In August 2021, we extended 

the preliminary results of this review to 

no later than December 30, 2021.2 For 

a complete description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is welded line pipe.4 The product is 

currently classified under the following 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) item numbers: 

7305.11.1030, 7305.11.1060, 

7305.11.5000, 7305.12.1030, 

7305.12.1060, 7305.12.5000, 

7305.19.1030, 7305.19.5000, 

7306.19.1010, 7306.19.1050, 

7306.19.5110, and 7306.19.5150. 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and for 

customs purposes, the written product 

description remains dispositive. 

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. NV 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. 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 http://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. A list 

of the topics discussed in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

attached as Appendix I to this notice. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Among the companies under review, 

HiSteel Co., Ltd. (HiSteel) properly filed 

a statement that it made no shipments 

of subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR.5 Based on its 

certification and our analysis of U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

information, we preliminarily determine 

that HiSteel had no reviewable 

transactions during the POR.6

Consistent with our practice, we are not 

preliminarily rescinding the review 

with respect to HiSteel. Instead, we will 

complete the review for HiSteel and 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of this 

review.7

Preliminary Results of the Review 

As a result of this review, we 

preliminarily determine the following 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period December 1, 2019, through 

November 30, 2020: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Hyundai Steel Company 8 .......... 1.93 

SeAH Steel Corporation ............. 0.00 

Companies Not Selected for Individual Review 9 ..................... 1.93 

Review-Specific Average Rate for 

Companies Not Selected for Individual 

Review 

The exporters or producers not 

selected for individual review are listed 

in Appendix II.

margins that are zero or de minimis margins, and 

any margins determined entirely {on the basis of 

facts available}.’’ For these preliminary results, we 

have preliminarily calculated a weighted-average 

dumping margins for these companies using the 

calculated rates of the mandatory respondents, 

Hyundai Steel and SeAH, which are not zero or de 

minimis, or determined entirely on the basis of facts 

available.

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuing the final results, 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

where Hyundai Steel Company 

(Hyundai Steel) reported the entered 

value of its U.S. sales, we calculated 

importer-specific ad valorem duty 

assessment rates based on the ratio of 

the total amount of dumping calculated 

for the examined sales to the total 

entered value of the sales for which 

entered value was reported. SeAH Steel 

Corporation (SeAH) did not report 

actual entered value for all of its U.S. 

sales; in such instances, we calculated 

importer-specific per-unit duty 

assessment rates by aggregating the total 

amount of antidumping duties 

calculated for the examined sales and 

dividing this amount by the total 

quantity of those sales. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis within the 

meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an 

importer-specific 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 will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

weighted average of the cash deposit 

rates calculated for Hyundai Steel and 

SeAH excluding any which are zero, de 

minimis, or determined entirely on 

adverse facts available. 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.10

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

practice will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by Hyundai Steel or SeAH 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. 

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 companies 

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 investigated or 

reviewed companies not covered in this 

review, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific 

cash deposit 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, or the lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but 

the manufacturer is, then the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

for the most recent segment for the 

manufacturer of the merchandise; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

manufacturers or exporters will 

continue to be 4.38 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.11 These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these preliminary results to 

interested parties within five days after 

the date of publication of this notice.12

Verification 

On May 17, 2021, Commerce received 

a request from domestic producers 

Maverick Tube Corporation (Maverick) 

and IPSCO Tubulars Inc. (IPSCO 

Tubulars) to conduct verification of the 

responses in this administrative 

review.13 Commerce is currently unable 

to conduct on-site verification of the 

information relied upon for the final 

results of this review. Accordingly, we 

intend to take additional steps in lieu of 

on-site verification. Commerce will 

notify interested parties of any 

additional documentation or 

information required. 

Public Comment 

Case briefs or other written comments 

may be submitted to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. A timeline for the 

submission of case briefs and written 

comments will be provided to interested 

parties at a later date. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in the case 

briefs, may be filed no later than seven 

days after the time limit for filing case 

briefs.14 Parties who submit case briefs 

or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are 

encouraged to submit with each 

argument: (1) A statement of the issue; 

(2) a brief summary of the argument; 

and (3) a table of authorities.15 Case and 

rebuttal briefs should be filed using 

ACCESS.16

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 within 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice.17 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, parties 

will be notified of the time and date for 

the hearing.18

Final Results 

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 of 

these preliminary results in the Federal 

Register, unless otherwise extended.19
