not zero or de minimis (i.e., greater than 

or equal to 0.5 percent) in the final 

results of this review, we will calculate 

importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rates for the merchandise 

based on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for the examined 

sales made during the POR to each 

importer and the total entered value of 

those same sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is 

zero or de minimis in the final results 

of the review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties.16

If a respondent’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis 

in the final results of the review, we will 

instruct CBP not to assess duties on any 

of its entries in accordance with the 

Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., 

‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin 

of dumping for the exporter is 

determined to be zero or de minimis, no 

antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 17

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by Interpipe 

for which the producer did not know its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediated company (or companies) 

involved in the transaction.18

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 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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 Interpipe will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin established in the final results of 

this administrative 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 listed above, 

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 

participated; (3) if the exporter is not a 

firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or in the investigation but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment of this 

proceeding for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be the all-others rate of 

7.47 percent, the rate established in the 

investigation of this proceeding.19 These 

cash deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of its analysis of 

the issues raised in any written briefs, 

not later than 120 days after the date of 

publication of this notice, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1). 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

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 

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 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

13As noted in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, we intend to modify the entered 

value used in the calculation of our assessment 

instructions to CBP so as to capture the full amount 

of antidumping duties due on imports of 

HengTong’s merchandise. See Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum at Section V; see also Memorandum, 

‘‘Cast Iron Soil Pipe from the People’s Republic of 

China: Analysis of HengTong for the Preliminary 

Results,’’ dated concurrently with this notice. 

On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all 

deadlines in administrative reviews by 

50 days.2 On March 22, 2021, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

preliminary results to July 30, 2021.3

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4 A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included 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 http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this order is 

soil pipe from China. For a full 

description of the scope, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rate 

Commerce preliminary determines 

that information placed on the record by 

HengTong demonstrates that HengTong 

is entitled to separate rate status. For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.5 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity in this 

review, the entity is not under review 

and the weighted-average dumping 

margin determined for the China-wide 

entity (i.e., 235.93 percent) is not subject 

to change as a result of this review.6 For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

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

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). We calculated export price in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Because China is a non-market economy 

country within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following weighted-average 

dumping margin exists for the period 

August 31, 2018, through April 31, 

2020:

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these 

preliminary results to interested parties 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Commerce will 

announce the briefing schedule to 

interested parties at a later date. 

Rebuttal briefs, the content of which is 

limited to issues raised in case briefs,

that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.11

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

request to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, filed 

electronically via ACCESS. An 

electronically-filed document must be

publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address, and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

the issues to be discussed. If a request 

for a hearing is made, Commerce 

intends to hold the hearing at a time and 

date to be determined. Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date and time 

of the hearing two days before the 

scheduled date. 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of our

briefs, within 120 days of publication of 

these preliminary results, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon completion of this 

administrative review, Commerce will 

determine, and United States Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) shall 

assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries.12

If HengTong’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is not zero or de 

minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in 

the final results of this review, 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of 

the ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the examined sales to that 

importer to the total entered value of 

those sales,13 in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce will 

instruct CBP to collect the appropriate 

duties at the time of liquidation. 

Where an exporter’s weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero or de minimis,

or an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.14

For entries that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by 

HengTong, Commerce will instruct CBP 

to liquidate such entries at the rate for 

the China-wide entity.15

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.16 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 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the publication date, as provided 

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

For HengTong, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is de minimis, then cash deposit rate 

will be zero); (2) for previously 

examined China and non-China 

exporters not listed above that at the 

time of entry are eligible for a separate 

rate based on a prior completed segment 

of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the existing 

exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3) 

for all China exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate at the 

time of entry, the cash deposit rate will 

be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 

235.93 percent); and (4) for all nonChina exporters of subject merchandise 

which at the time of entry are not 

eligible for a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate applicable 

to the China exporter that supplied that 

non-China exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 the POR. 

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 

This administrative review and notice 

are issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and

Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh 

From Mexico: Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on the affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing an antidumping 

duty (AD) order on standard steel 

welded wire mesh (wire mesh) from 

Mexico. 

DATES: Applicable August 9, 2021.

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.210(c), on June 23, 2021, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determination in the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation of wire mesh from 

Mexico.1 On July 30, 2021, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determination that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by 

reason of the LTFV imports of wire 

mesh from Mexico.2

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order is wire mesh from Mexico. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

order, see the appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On July 30, 2021, in accordance with 

sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the 

Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its 

final determination that an industry in 

the United States is materially injured 

by reason of imports of wire mesh from 

Mexico.3 Therefore, Commerce is 

issuing this AD order in accordance 

with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the 

Act. Because the ITC determined that 

imports of wire mesh from Mexico are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Mexico, which are 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

As a result of the ITC’s final 

affirmative determination, in 

accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the 

Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, 

upon further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties equal to the amount 

by which the normal value of the 

merchandise exceeds the export price or 

constructed export price of the 

merchandise for all relevant entries of 

wire mesh from Mexico. For entries of 

wire mesh from Mexico, the cash 

deposits for estimated antidumping 

duties have been adjusted for export 

subsidies found in the final 

determination of the companion
