Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum provided in in
the appendix to this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at
<a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain
changes from the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of Administrative Review
For these final results, we determine that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period May 1, 2022,
through April 30, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated Borusan
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret
T.A.S. as a single entity. See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel Standard
Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No Shipments;
2013-2014, 80 FR 76674 (December 10, 2015). There is no information
on this record to merit reconsideration of our treatment of Borusan
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret
T.A.S. as a single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to parties in this review
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with
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 in these final results of this
review, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
during the POR. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for examined sales to each
importer to the total entered value of those sales. Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties. Pursuant to a refinement
to Commerce's assessment practice, for subject merchandise that was
entered into the United States, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption during the POR, that was produced or exported by Borusan
for which Borusan did not report the sale in its U.S. sales database,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the entry of such merchandise at the
all-others rate (i.e., 14.74 percent) \12\ if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Order, 51 FR at 17784.
\13\ 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 this
notice in the Federal Register, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed in the
``Final Results of Review'' section above; (2) for merchandise that was
exported by a company that is not under review and the company has a
company-specific cash deposit rate from a completed segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific cash deposit rate from a completed segment of the
[[Page 12298]]
proceeding that is currently applicable to the company; (3) if the
exporter of the subject merchandise was not covered by this review or a
previously completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer of
the subject merchandise was covered, then the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the company-specific cash deposit rate from a completed
segment of this proceeding that is currently applicable to the producer
of the subject merchandise; and (4) if neither the exporter nor the
producer of the subject merchandise was covered by this review or a
previously completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit
rate will be 14.74 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established
in the less than fair value investigation.\14\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Order, 51 FR at 17784.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 POR. 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 also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction or return 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 destruction or
return 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 of review and
this notice 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).
Dated: March 10, 2025.
