Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in the
appendix to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is attached to this notice as an Appendix.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, Commerce made
certain changes to the margin calculations for Both-Well. In addition,
Commerce has relied on partial adverse facts available under sections
776(a) and (b) of the Act for Both-Well. For a full description of the
methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average
dumping margin exists for Both-Well for the period September 1, 2023,
through August 31, 2024:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter or producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both-Well Steel Fittings Co., Ltd.......................... 10.62
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for the
final results of this review to parties in this proceeding 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),
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. Because Both-Well's weighted-
average dumping margin is 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 Both-Well's examined sales and the
total of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
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. For entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Both-Well for which it did not
know that the merchandise was
[[Page 50778]]
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate (i.e., 116.17 percent) if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction. 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.
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 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 date of publication of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Both-Well will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not examined in this review but examined 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 they were reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 116.17 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\7\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 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 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 (APO)
This notice also serves as a 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 terms of an APO is a violation which
is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: July 31, 2026.
