Oil Country Tubular Goods From the 

People’s Republic of China: Final 

Results of Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Changed 

Circumstances Reviews 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On February 14, 2022, the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published the initiation and preliminary 

results of the changed circumstances 

reviews of the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on oil 

country tubular goods (OCTG) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China). For 

these final results, Commerce continues 

to find that HLDS (B) Steel Sdn Bhd 

(HLDS (B)) and HLD Clark Steel Pipe 

Co., Inc. (HLD Clark) (collectively, HLD 

companies) are eligible to participate in 

a certification process because the HLD 

companies have demonstrated that they 

can identify OCTG that they produced 

in either Brunei or the Philippines using 

non-Chinese hot-rolled steel. 

DATES: Applicable March 21, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 26, 2021, Commerce 

found that imports of welded OCTG 

completed in Brunei or the Philippines 

using inputs manufactured in China are 

circumventing the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on OCTG 

from China.1 In the Final 

Determinations, Commerce found that 

welded OCTG ‘‘assembled or completed 

in Brunei or the Philippines using nonChinese inputs is not subject to these 

circumvention inquiries,’’ but because 

the HLD companies were ‘‘unable to 

track welded OCTG to the country of 

origin of inputs used in the production 

of welded OCTG,’’ Commerce decided 

not to ‘‘implement a certification 

process for welded OCTG already 

suspended,’’ and required ‘‘cash 

deposits on all entries of welded OCTG 

produced in either Brunei or the 

Philippines.’’ 2 However, Commerce 

indicated that ‘‘producers and/or 

exporters in Brunei or the Philippines 

may request reconsideration of our 

denial of the certification process in a 

future segment of the proceeding, i.e., a 

changed circumstances review or 

administrative review.’’ 3

On December 23, 2021, the HLD 

companies submitted changed 

circumstances review requests, in which 

they claimed that they are able to 

identify and segregate welded OCTG 

made using non-Chinese hot-rolled steel 

by either HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD 

Clark in the Philippines and then 

subsequently exported from either 

Brunei or the Philippines to the United 

States.4 The HLD companies request 

that Commerce find them eligible for 

certification of these welded OCTG as 

non-subject merchandise. In response to 

Commerce’s requests for additional 

information, the HLD companies 

submitted their supplemental responses 

on January 18, 2022,5 and January 24, 

2022.6

Commerce preliminarily determined 

‘‘that the HLD companies are now able 

to identify and effectively segregate 

welded OCTG produced by either HLDS 

(B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines using non-Chinese hotrolled steel from other OCTG produced 

at their facilities.’’ 7

No party commented on the Initiation 

and Preliminary Results regarding 

Commerce’s analysis of the HLD 

companies’ practices to track the 

country of origin of the hot-rolled steel 

they used to produce OCTG which are 

exported to the United States, the 

sufficiency of the certification process, 

or the certification language. 

Scope of the Orders 

The scope of these orders consists of 

certain OCTG, which are hollow steel 

products of circular cross-section, 

including oil well casing and tubing, of 

iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both 

carbon and alloy), whether seamless or 

welded, regardless of end finish (e.g., 

whether or not plain end, threaded, or 

threaded and coupled) whether or not 

conforming to American Petroleum 

Institute (API) or non-API 

specifications, whether finished 

(including limited service OCTG 

products) or unfinished (including 

green tubes and limited service OCTG 

products), whether or not thread 

protectors are attached. The scope of the 

orders also covers OCTG coupling stock. 

Excluded from the scope of the orders 

are casing or tubing containing 10.5 

percent or more by weight of chromium; 

drill pipe; unattached couplings; and 

unattached thread protectors. 

The merchandise covered by the 

orders is currently classified in the

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Reviews 

Commerce is conducting these 

changed circumstances reviews in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216. 

For the reasons stated in the Initiation 

and Preliminary Results, and because 

we received no comments from 

interested parties, we continue to find 

that, since the publication of the Final 

Determinations, ‘‘the HLD companies 

are now able to identify and effectively 

segregate welded OCTG produced by 

either HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark 

in the Philippines using non-Chinese 

hot-rolled steel from other OCTG 

produced at their facilities.’’ 8

Accordingly, effective on the 

publication date of these final results, 

the HLD companies and their exporters 

and importers will be eligible to certify 

that welded OCTG produced by either 

HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines and exported from either 

Brunei or the Philippines were 

produced using non-Chinese hot-rolled 

steel. OCTG entering the United States 

with such certification, which may be 

subject to verification, will not be 

subject to suspension of liquidation or 

a requirement to post cash deposits of 

estimated antidumping and 

countervailing duties. The final 

certification language is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. 

Suspension of Liquidation and 

Certification Requirements 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.225(l)(3), the suspension of 

liquidation instructions will remain in 

effect until further notice. Commerce 

will direct CBP to suspend liquidation 

and to require a cash deposit of 

estimated duties on unliquidated entries 

of welded OCTGs produced (i.e., 

assembled or completed) by either 

HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines using Chinese hot-rolled 

steel and exported from either Brunei or 

the Philippines that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

initiation of the changed circumstances 

reviews. 

Welded OCTG produced by either 

HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines using non-Chinese hotrolled steel and exported from either 

Brunei or the Philippines are not subject 

to the antidumping and countervailing 

duty orders on OCTG from China. 

However, imports of such merchandise 

are subject to certification requirements, 

and cash deposits may be required if the 

certification requirements are not 

satisfied. Accordingly, if an importer 

enters welded OCTG produced by either 

HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines and exported from either 

Brunei or the Philippines and claims 

that the welded OCTG was produced 

from non-Chinese hot-rolled steel, in 

order not to be subject to cash deposit 

requirements, the importer and exporter 

are required to meet the certification 

and documentation requirements 

described herein and in the 

certifications contained in the appendix. 

Where no certification is provided for 

an entry of welded OCTG produced by 

either HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD Clark 

in the Philippines and exported from 

either Brunei or the Philippines to the 

United States, the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on OCTG 

from China apply to that entry and 

Commerce intends to instruct CBP to 

suspend the entry and collect cash 

deposits of estimated antidumping 

duties equal to the rate established for 

the China-wide entity, i.e., 99.14 

percent,9 and cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties equal to the 

current all-others rate, i.e., 27.08 

percent.10

For shipments and/or entry 

summaries made on or after the date of 

publication of the initiation of the 

changed circumstances reviews through 

30 days after the date of publication of 

the final results of these changed 

circumstances reviews for which 

certifications are required, importers 

and exporters should complete the 

required certification within 30 days 

after the publication of the final results 

of these changed circumstances reviews 

in the Federal Register. Accordingly, 

where appropriate, the relevant item in 

the certification should be modified to 

reflect that the certification was 

completed within the time frame 

specified above. For such entries/ 

shipments, importers and exporters 

each have the option to complete a 

blanket certification covering multiple 

entries/shipments, individual 

certifications for each entry/shipment, 

or a combination thereof. For shipments 

and/or entries made on or after 31 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of these changed circumstances 

reviews in the Federal Register, for 

which certifications are required, 

importers should complete the required 

certification at or prior to the date of 

entry summary, and exporters should 

complete the required certification and 

provide it to the importer at or prior to 

the date of shipment. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing the 

notice of these final results in 

accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 

777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.216. 

Dated: March 14, 2022.
