SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 29, 2023, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the Preliminary Results of the administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on forged steel fittings from Taiwan.\1\ This review covers
one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Bothwell. We invited
parties to comment on the Preliminary Results.\2\ No interested party
submitted comments. Commerce conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act).

\1\ See Forged Steel Fittings from Taiwan: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-2022, 88 FR 67238
(September 29, 2023) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).

Scope of the Order \3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Forged Steel Fittings from Taiwan: Antidumping Duty
Order, 83 FR 48280 (September 24, 2018) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise subject to the Order are carbon and alloy forged
steel fittings, whether unfinished (commonly known as blanks or rough
forgings) or finished. The subject merchandise is currently
classifiable under subheadings 7307.99.1000, 7307.99.3000,
7307.99.5045, and 7307.99.5060 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope
of this Order is dispositive. For a complete description of the scope
of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\4\

Final Results of Review
As a result of this review, Commerce determines the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period, September 1,
2021, through August 31, 2022.

Disclosure
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. Consequently,
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b) for these final results of review.
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, 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, pursuant to
[[Page 82321]]
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 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).
Because we calculated a zero weighted-average dumping margin for
Bothwell in the final results of this review, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Bothwell and for which Bothwell did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the final
determination of the less-than-fair-value investigation (i.e., 116.17
percent),\5\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\6\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of
forged steel fittings from Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date as provided by section
751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Bothwell will be
zero; (2) for merchandise exported by companies not covered in this
review but covered in a completed prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other producers or exporters will continue to be 116.17 percent, the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 has occurred and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as
a reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO, 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 terms of an APO is a violation subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We intend to issue and publish these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(5).
