SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 14, 2026, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
the 2023-2024 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
WSSP from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) \1\ in the
Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment.\2\ We
received no comments on the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, the final
results are unchanged from the Preliminary Results, and hereby adopted
as the final results of review; thus, there is no decision memorandum
accompanying this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Welded Stainless Steel Pressure Pipe From the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2023-2024, 91 FR 1502
(January 14, 2026) (Preliminary Results).
\2\ See Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
[[Page 29456]]
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 during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\4\ Accordingly, the deadline for these final
results are now May 14, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Deadlines Affected by the Shutdown of the
Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated
November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the Order is WSSP from Vietnam. For a
full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary
Results.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vietnam-Wide Entity
Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the
Vietnam-wide entity,\6\ the Vietnam-wide entity will not be under
review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-
initiates, a review of the entity. Bristol Metals LLC, Felker Brothers
Corporation, and Primus Pipe & Tube, Inc. (collectively, the
petitioners) requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity in the
instant review; therefore, the Vietnam-wide entity is under review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\7\ See Petitioners' Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated July 31, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily determined that
the Vietnam-wide entity sold subject merchandise in the United States
at prices below NV during the POR.\8\ Because we received no comments
and we have made no changes from the Preliminary Results, and we
continue to find that the Vietnam-wide entity sold subject merchandise
in the United States at prices below NV.

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However,
because we have made no changes from the Preliminary Results, there are
no new calculations to disclose.
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 covered by this review. 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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). Pursuant to Commerce's practice, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries from the Vietnam-wide entity at 90.80
percent.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of WSSP from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the Vietnam-wide entity, the
cash deposit rate will be the margin listed above; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese exporters not
listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit
rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for the
Vietnam-wide entity (i.e., 90.80 percent); and (4) for all non-
Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Vietnamese exporter(s) that supplied that non-
Vietnamese exporter. 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 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 also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to
an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3). 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 terms of an APO
is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: May 14, 2026.
