We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period August 1, 2022, through July 31, 2023:

Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these
final results of review to parties to the proceeding 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, 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\ We calculated importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rates for the merchandise by dividing the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for all reviewed sales to the importer by the total
entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer, 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. Where an
importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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).
\8\ Id., 77 FR 8101, 8102; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of the subject
merchandise that Interpipe produced and sold, but did not know it was
destined for the United States, at the all-others rate (i.e., 23.75
percent) \9\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order, 86 FR 47055.
\10\ 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 this notice 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
[[Page 13452]]
Federal Register, 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 listed in the table above; (2) for companies
that were previously reviewed or investigated in this proceeding that
are not listed in the table above, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the rate assigned to the company in the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which the company was examined; (3) if
the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have a company-
specific rate but the producer of the subject merchandise does, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate assigned to the producer of the
subject merchandise in the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the producer was examined; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be the all-
others rate of 23.75 percent that was established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation in this proceeding.\11\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Order, 84 FR at 47057.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 (APO)
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
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 of review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 17, 2025.
