SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 10, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

these CCRs, determining that Borusan 

Boru is the successor-in-interest to BMB 

and provided interested parties with an 

opportunity to comment.1 On October 

10, 2024, Borusan Boru filed comments 

regarding the effective date of 

Commerce’s successor-in-interest 

determinations.2 For a summary of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.3

Scope of the Orders 4

The merchandise covered by these 

Orders is standard pipe, WLP, OCTG, 

and LDWP from Tu ̈rkiye. For a complete 

description of the scope of each of these 

orders, see the Preliminary Results.5

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed the comments received 

in these CCRs in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included in the 

Appendix. The Issues and 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

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we revised the 

effective date of these CCRs. For further 

discussion, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Final Results of Changed 

Circumstances Reviews 

For the reasons stated in the 

Preliminary Results, we continue to find 

that Borusan Boru is the successor-ininterest to BMB. As a result, we 

determine that Borusan Boru is entitled 

to receive the cash deposit rate 

previously assigned to Borusan 

Mannesmann for merchandise subject to 

the Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded 

Line Pipe CVD Order, and OCTG CVD 

Order. Consequently, will Commerce 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to collect cash deposits 

and suspend liquidation of all 

shipments of merchandise subject to the 

Standard Pipe CVD Order, Welded Line 

Pipe CVD Order, and OCTG CVD Order 

produced and/or exported by Borusan 

Boru and entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

November 13, 2023, at the rate assigned 

to BMB.6 Further, Commerce will 

instruct CBP that Borusan Boru is 

entitled to its predecessor’s exclusion 

from the LDWP CVD Order for entries of 

subject merchandise produced and 

exported by Borusan Boru. Lastly, these 

cash deposit requirements shall remain 

in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing this determination and 

publishing these final results and notice 

in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) 

and 777(i)(1) and (2) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.216(e), 351.221(b), and

Results of the Expedited Sunset 

Review of Suspended Investigation 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

SUMMARY: As a result of this sunset 

review, the U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) finds that 

termination of the 2019 Agreement 

Suspending the Antidumping Duty 

Investigation on Fresh Tomatoes from 

Mexico would be likely to lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at the levels indicated in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’ section of this 

notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 1, 2024, Commerce 

initiated the sunset review of the 

suspended antidumping duty

Memorandum for the Final Results of the Expedited 

Fifth Sunset Review of the Suspended Investigation 

of Fresh Tomatoes from Mexico,’’ dated

notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum). 

investigation on fresh tomatoes from 

Mexico, pursuant to section 751(c) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).1 Commerce received notices of 

intent to participate in this sunset 

review from the Florida Tomato 

Exchange (FTE) on August 15, 2024, and 

from NS Brands, Ltd. and NatureSweet 

Invernaderos S. de R.L. de C.V./ 

NatureSweet Comercializadora, S. de 

R.L. de C.V. (collectively, NatureSweet) 

on August 16, 2024, within the 

applicable deadline specified in section 

351.218(d)(1)(i) of Commerce’s 

regulations. 

Commerce received an adequate 

substantive response from FTE within 

the 30-day deadline specified in 

Commerce’s regulations under section 

351.218(d)(3)(i). In its submission, FTE 

claimed interested party status under 

section 771(9)(E) of the Act as a trade or 

business association a majority of whose 

members manufacture, produce, or 

wholesale a domestic like product in the 

United States. NatureSweet also filed a 

response in which it claimed interested 

party status under sections 771(9)(C) 

and 771(9)(A) of the Act, i.e., both as a 

domestic and foreign producer of 

subject merchandise, respectively; 

however, the response did not meet the 

requirements of 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(3)(iii) and 351.218(e)(1)(ii). 

Thus, Commerce did not receive an 

adequate substantive response from any 

respondent interested party. As a result, 

Commerce conducted an expedited 

(120-day) sunset review, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). 

Scope of the Suspension Agreement 2

The merchandise subject to the 

suspension agreement is all fresh or 

chilled tomatoes (fresh tomatoes) which 

have Mexico as their origin, except for 

those tomatoes which are for processing. 

For purposes of this suspension 

agreement, processing is defined to 

include preserving by any commercial 

process, such as canning, dehydrating, 

drying, or the addition of chemical 

substances, or converting the tomato 

product into juices, sauces, or purees. In 

Appendix F of this 2019 Agreement, 

Commerce has outlined the procedure 

that Signatories must follow for selling 

subject merchandise for processing. 

Fresh tomatoes that are imported for 

cutting up, not further processing (e.g., 

tomatoes used in the preparation of 

fresh salsa or salad bars), are covered by 

this suspension agreement. 

Commercially grown tomatoes, both 

for the fresh market and for processing, 

are classified as Lycopersicon 

esculentum. Important commercial 

varieties of fresh tomatoes include 

common round, cherry, grape, plum, 

greenhouse, and pear tomatoes, all of 

which are covered by this suspension 

agreement. Tomatoes imported from 

Mexico covered by this suspension 

agreement are classified under the 

following subheading of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedules of the 

United States (HTSUS), according to the 

season of importation: 0702. Although 

this HTSUS number is provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

Agreement is dispositive. 

A full description of the scope of the 

2019 Agreement is also contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.3

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in this sunset review, 

including the likelihood of continuation 

or recurrence of dumping and the 

magnitude of the margin of dumping 

likely to prevail if the 2019 Agreement 

is terminated, are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of topics included in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is included in 

the appendix to this notice. The Issues 

and 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. A list of topics 

discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

appendix to this notice. A complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

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

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Results of Review 

Pursuant to section 752(c) of the Act, 

we determine that the termination of the 

2019 Agreement would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

at weighted-average margins up to 30.48 

percent. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 

Timely notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

these final results and notice in 

accordance with sections 751(c), 752(c), 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2) and 

351.221(c)(5)(ii).
