SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On August 29, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review in the Federal Register.\1\ The
administrative review covers 23 producers and/or exporters of the
subject merchandise, including HSP \2\ and SeAH, which were selected
for individual examination as mandatory respondents.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Large Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Korea:
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-
2024, 90 FR 42192 (August 29, 2025) (Preliminary Results).
\2\ On November 14, 2024, Commerce determined that HSP is the
successor-in-interest to Hyundai Steel. See Circular Welded Non-
Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea; Certain Oil Country
Tubular Goods From the Republic of Korea; Welded Line Pipe from the
Republic of Korea; and Large Diameter Welded Pipe From the Republic
of Korea: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed
Circumstances Reviews, 89 FR 89962 (November 14, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\3\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24,
2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\4\ On February 20, 2026, Commerce extended the
deadline for this administrative review by 46 days.\5\ On April 13,
2026, Commerce extended the deadline for this administrative review by
7 days.\6\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now
April 27, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.

Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs
filed in this administrative review in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is in the Appendix I to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our evaluation of the comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary Results and our review of the record
to address those comments, we made certain changes to the weighted-
average dumping margin calculations for HSP and SeAH, as detailed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All-Others Rate
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin for all other producers and exporters
not individually examined shall be an
[[Page 23401]]
amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any rates that are zero, de minimis margins, or
determined entirely under section 776 of the Act. For these final
results, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for HSP of
zero and calculated a weighted-average dumping margin for SeAH that is
not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Therefore,
consistent with our practice, we have assigned the companies not
selected for individual examination the weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for SeAH.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See, e.g., Certain Corrosion-Resistant Steel Products from
Taiwan: Final Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2018-1019, 86 FR 28554,
28555 (May 27, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the period May 1, 2023 through April 30, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Exporter/producer dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hyundai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd......................... 0.00
SeAH Steel Corporation.............................. 0.80
Non-Examined Companies Receiving a Review-Specific 0.80
Rate \11\..........................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Appendix II for a list of the non-examined companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed for these final results of review to interested parties
within five days of any public announcement 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
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 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).\12\ Because the final weighted-average dumping margin for
HSP in this review is zero, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties with respect
to HSP.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the final weighted-average dumping margin for SeAH is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent) in the final results
of this review, we intend to calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
AD assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\14\ We
intend to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with Commerce's clarification of its assessment
practice, for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
HSP or SeAH where it did not know that the merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation of 7.08 percent ad valorem,\15\ if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Order.
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following 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 in the Federal Register, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates
for HSP and SeAH will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by a producer or exporter not covered in this
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, 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
producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of the
proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will continue to be
7.08 percent ad valorem, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\17\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
[[Page 23402]]
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 this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: April 27, 2026.
