Final Results of Review
We have calculated the following estimated weighted-average dumping
[[Page 88363]]
margin for Interpipe for the POR, July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interpipe Europe S.A./Interpipe Ukraine LLC/PJSC Interpipe 4.89
Niznedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant/LLC Interpipe Niko Tube.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose the calculations performed in
connection with the final results of a review to interested parties
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final
results in the Federal Register.\6\ However, because Commerce made no
change to the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculation
for Interpipe, there are no calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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 these final results
of review.\7\ For Interpipe, we will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is
not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the
appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14,
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe for which it
did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 these
final results; (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 or in a prior segment of
the proceeding, but the producer was covered, 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 established in the less-than-fair-
value investigation.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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 the 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) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: December 14, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
