Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record, Commerce made certain revisions
to the margin calculations for Goodluck and made no changes to the
margin
[[Page 15552]]
calculations for TII. The Issues and Decision Memorandum contains
descriptions of these revisions.
Final Results of the Administrative Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Exporter/producer dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Goodluck India Limited.............................. 2.47
Tube Products of India, Ltd., a unit of Tube 2.44
Investments of India Limited.......................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice to
parties in this proceeding, 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),
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.
Because Goodluck and TII's weighted-average dumping margins are not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results
of this review, we calculated an importer-specific assessment rate
based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\7\ Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without
regard to antidumping duties. The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and
for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
\8\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
either of the individually examined respondents for which it did not
know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., a
reseller, trading company, or exporter) 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ 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 CDMT from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results as
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for
Goodluck and TII will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in these final results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this
review but covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the less-than-
fair-value investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will
continue to be the all-others rate (i.e., 5.87 percent ad valorem).\10\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 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
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 9 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 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 violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 8, 2025.
