light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from the People's Republic of
China (China) covering the period of review (POR) August 1, 2021,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2023, Commerce published the preliminary results for this
administrative review.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results. No interested parties submitted comments.
Accordingly, Commerce has made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results, we
have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum accompanies
this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the Preliminary Results
as the final results of this review. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise subject to this Order is certain welded carbon
quality light-
[[Page 58245]]
walled steel pipe and tube, of rectangular (including square) cross
section, having a wall thickness of less than 4 mm. The term carbon-
quality steel includes both carbon steel and alloy steel which contains
only small amounts of alloying elements. Specifically, the term carbon-
quality includes products in which none of the elements listed below
exceeds the quantity by weight respectively indicated: 1.80 percent of
manganese, or 2.25 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent of copper, or
0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 0.30 percent
of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of nickel, or 0.30
percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 0.10 percent of
niobium, or 0.15 percent vanadium, or 0.15 percent of zirconium. The
description of carbon-quality is intended to identify carbon-quality
products within the scope. The welded carbon-quality rectangular pipe
and tube subject to this Order is currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7306.61.50.00 and 7306.61.70.60. While HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and CBP's customs purposes, our written description of
the scope of the Order is dispositive.
Final Results of Administrative Review
As noted above, we received no comments on, and made no changes to,
the Preliminary Results. We continue to find that the sole mandatory
respondent, Ailong, is not eligible for a separate rate, and, thus, is
part of the China-wide entity. In this administrative review, no party
requested a review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce did not self-
initiate a review of the China-wide entity. Because no review of the
China-wide entity is being conducted, the China-wide entity rate is not
subject to change as a result of this review. The rate previously
established for the China-wide entity is 255.07 percent.\3\

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
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. We
intend to instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 255.07
percent (i.e., the China-wide entity rate), to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which were exported by Ailong. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication of these 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 for all
shipments of subject merchandise from China 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) for Ailong, that has not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the
China-wide entity; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese
and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found eligible for a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity; and
(4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Notification of 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an
increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the
countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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 violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 21, 2023.
