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 review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with section 705(d) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), on July 2, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

affirmative final determinations in the 

CVD investigations of seamless pipe 

from Korea and Russia.1 On August 16, 

2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its 

affirmative final determinations, 

pursuant to section 705(d) of the Act, 

that an industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by 

reason of subsidized imports of 

seamless pipe from Korea and Russia.2

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by these 

orders is seamless pipe from Korea and 

Russia. For a complete description of 

the scope of these orders, see the 

appendix to this notice. 

Countervailing Duty Orders 

In accordance with sections 

705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the 

ITC has notified Commerce of its final 

determinations that the industry in the 

United States producing seamless pipe 

is materially injured by reason of 

subsidized imports of seamless pipe 

from Korea and Russia. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the 

Act, we are issuing these CVD orders. 

Because the ITC determined that 

imports of seamless pipe from Korea 

and Russia are materially injuring a U.S. 

industry, unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from Korea and Russia, 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of countervailing duties. 

Countervailing duties will be assessed 

on unliquidated entries of seamless pipe 

from Korea and Russia entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after December 11, 

2020, the date of publication of the 

preliminary determinations,3 but will 

not include entries occurring after the 

expiration of the provisional measures 

period and before the publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination under 

section 705(b) of the Act, as further 

described below. 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation and Cash Deposits 

In accordance with section 706(a) of 

the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, countervailing duties for all 

relevant entries of seamless pipe from 

Korea and Russia in an amount equal to 

the net countervailable subsidy rates for 

the subject merchandise. On or after the 

publication of the ITC’s final injury 

determination in the Federal Register, 

CBP must require, at the same time as 

importers would normally deposit 

estimated import duties on this 

merchandise, cash deposits for each

Provisional Measures 

Section 703(d) of the Act states that 

instructions issued pursuant to an 

affirmative preliminary determination 

may not remain in effect for more than 

four months. In the underlying 

investigations, Commerce published the 

preliminary determinations on 

December 11, 2020. As such, the fourmonth period beginning on the date of 

the publication of the preliminary 

determinations ended on April 9, 2021. 

Furthermore, section 707(b) of the Act 

states that definitive duties are to begin 

on the date of publication of the ITC’s 

final injury determination. Therefore, in 

accordance with section 703(d) of the 

Act, we have instructed CBP to 

discontinue the suspension of 

liquidation and to liquidate, without 

regard to countervailing duties, 

unliquidated entries of seamless pipe 

from Korea and Russia, entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption, on or after April 10, 2021, 

the day after provisional measures 

expired, until and through the day 

preceding the date of publication of the 

ITC’s final injury determination in the 

Federal Register. Suspension of 

liquidation will resume on the date of 

publication of the ITC’s final 

determination in the Federal Register. 

Notification to Interested Parties
