7Commerce initiated a review of both SeAH 

VINA and Pusan Pipe, but the record shows that 

Pusan Pipe is a U.S. importer of OCTG that is 

affiliated with SeAH VINA and does not produce 

or export OCTG. See SSV’s Letter, ‘‘Administrative 

Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on Certain

Response to the Department’s November 15

Pipe.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on OCTG from 

Vietnam in accordance with section 

751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act). On January 28, 2021, 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review.1

On March 10, 2021, we received case 

briefs from Maverick Tube Corporation, 

Tenaris Bay City, Inc., and IPSCO 

Tubulars, Inc. (the petitioners) and from 

SeAH Steel VINA Corporation SeAH 

VINA and Pusan Pipe America, Inc. 

(Pusan Pipe) (collectively, SSV).2 On 

March 17, 2021, the petitioners and SSV 

submitted rebuttal briefs.3 On May 18, 

2021, we extended the deadline for the 

final results of review until July 27, 

2021.4

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, dated concurrently with 

these final results and hereby adopted 

by this notice.5 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. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

is OCTG from Vietnam. For a full 

description of the merchandise covered 

by the scope of the antidumping duty 

order on OCTG from Vietnam, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs filed by 

interested parties in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. Attached to this 

notice as an appendix is a list of the 

issues which parties raised. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct an 

on-site verification of the information 

relied upon in reaching these final 

results of review as provided for in 

section 782(i)(3) of the Act. 

Accordingly, in lieu of an on-site 

verification, we requested additional 

documentation and information from 

SSV.6

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculation. For a 

discussion of the issues, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margin exists for the period September 

1, 2018, through August 31, 2019: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review. 

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice in non-market 

economy cases, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales database 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during the administrative 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the Vietnamwide rate. Additionally, if Commerce 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under the exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will 

be liquidated at the Vietnam-wide rate.8

Consistent with its recent notice,9

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 cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from 

Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the publication date, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

SeAH VINA, a zero cash deposit rate; (2) 

for previously investigated or reviewed 

Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese 

exporters not listed above that received 

a separate rate in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most-recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which the exporter was reviewed; (3) for 

all Vietnamese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not been 

found to be entitled to a separate rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the Vietnam-wide entity, 

which is 111.47 percent; 10 and (4) for 

all non-Vietnamese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese 

exporter that supplied that nonVietnamese exporter with the subject 

merchandise. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final 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 doubled antidumping duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

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 the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5). 

Dated: July 27, 2021.
