Seamless Refined Copper Pipe and 

Tube From the People’s Republic of 

China and Mexico: Continuation of 

Antidumping Duty Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) orders on seamless refined copper 

pipe and tube from the People’s 

Republic of China (China) and Mexico 

would likely lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, Commerce is publishing this 

notice of continuation of the orders. 

DATES: Applicable May 23, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 22, 2010, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD orders on seamless refined copper 

pipe and tube from China and Mexico.1

On November 1, 2021, Commerce 

published the notice of initiation of the 

sunset reviews of the Orders, pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).2 Commerce 

conducted expedited sunset reviews of 

the Orders, pursuant to section 

751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(e)(1)(ii)(C)(2). As a result of its 

reviews, Commerce determined, 

pursuant to sections 751(c)(1) and 

752(c) of the Act, that revocation of the 

Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping.3

Commerce, therefore, notified the ITC of 

the magnitude of the dumping margins 

likely to prevail should the Orders be 

revoked.4 On May 17, 2022, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

section 751(c) of the Act, that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

scope of the Orders are all seamless 

refined copper pipes and tubes, 

including redraw hollows, greater than 

or equal to 6 inches (152.4 millimeters 

(mm)) in length and measuring less than 

12.130 inches (308.12 mm) (actual) in 

outside diameter (OD), regardless of 

wall thickness, bore (e.g., smooth, 

enhanced with inner grooves or ridges), 

manufacturing process (e.g., hot 

finished, cold-drawn, annealed), outer 

surface (e.g., plain or enhanced with 

grooves, ridges, fins, or gills), end finish 

(e.g., plain end, swaged end, flared end, 

expanded end, crimped end, threaded), 

coating (e.g., plastic, paint), insulation, 

attachments (e.g., plain, capped, 

plugged, with compression or other 

fitting), or physical configuration (e.g., 

straight, coiled, bent, wound on spools). 

The scope of the Orders covers, but it 

is not limited to, seamless refined 

copper pipe and tube produced or 

comparable to the American Society for 

Testing and Materials (ASTM) ASTM–

B819, and ASTM–B903 specifications 

and meeting the physical parameters 

described therein. Also included within 

the scope of the Orders are all sets of 

covered products, including ‘‘line sets’’ 

of seamless refined copper tubes (with 

or without fitting or insulation) suitable 

for connecting an outdoor air 

conditioner or heat pump to an indoor 

evaporator unit. The phrase ‘‘all sets of 

covered products’’ denotes any 

combination of items put up for sale 

that is comprised of merchandise 

subject to the scope. 

‘‘Refined copper’’ is defined as: (1) 

Metal containing at least 99.85 percent 

by weight of copper; or (2) metal 

containing at least 97.5 percent by 

weight of copper, provided that the 

content by weight of any other element 

does not exceed the following limits: 

Element 

Limiting content 

percent by 

weight 

Ag—Silver ......................... 0.25 

As—Arsenic ...................... 0.5 

Cd—Cadmium .................. 1.3

8415.90.8085. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of the 

Orders is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and material injury to an industry in the 

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD cash deposits at 

the rates in effect at the time of entry for 

all imports of subject merchandise. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

subject permit is requested under the 

authority of the Marine Mammal 

Protection Act of 1972, as amended 

(MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.), the 

regulations governing the taking and 

importing of marine mammals (50 CFR 

part 216), the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531 

et seq.), and the regulations governing 

the taking, importing, and exporting of 

endangered and threatened species (50 

CFR parts 222–226). 

The applicant proposes to conduct 

research on 34 cetacean species in U.S. 

and international waters of the Pacific 

Islands region, including the Hawaiian 

archipelago, American Samoa, Guam, 

the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, Kingman Reef, Palmyra 

Atoll, Johnston Atoll, Wake Atoll, 

Howland Island, Baker Island, and 

Jarvis Island. The following endangered 

or threatened species may be taken 

during research activities: Blue whale 

(Balaenoptera musculus), false killer 

whale (Pseudorca crassidens), fin whale 

(B. physalus), humpback whale 

(Megaptera novaeangliae), North Pacific 

right whale (Eubalaena japonica), sei 

whale (B. borealis), and sperm whale 

(Physeter macrocephalus). The 

objectives of the research are to 

determine the abundance, stock 

structure, distribution, movement 

patterns, and ecological relationships of 

cetaceans in the study area. Research 

activities include aerial surveys using 

manned and unmanned aircraft systems, 

vessel surveys, behavioral observations, 

photo-identification, passive acoustic 

recordings, underwater photography, 

biological sample collection (skin and 

blubber biopsies, exhaled air, feces, and 

sloughed skin), and tagging (suction-cup 

and dart/barb). Marine mammal parts 

would also be imported, exported, 

salvaged, or received for analysis and 

curation. See the application for 

complete numbers of animals requested 

by species, life stage, and procedure. 

The permit is requested for five years. 

In compliance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
