SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 15, 1986, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel standard pipe
and tube products (CWP) from the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye
(T[uuml]rkiye).\1\ On June 2, 2025, Commerce received a request for
administrative review from Borusan Birle[scedil]ik Boru Fabrikalari
Sanayi ve Ticaret A.[Scedil]. (formerly, Borusan
[[Page 51151]]
Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.) (Borusan Boru) and Borusan Pipe
U.S., Inc.\2\ On June 25, 2025, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on CWP from T[uuml]rkiye.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey, 51 FR 17784 (May 15, 1986)
(Order).

Duty Administrative Review,'' dated June 2, 2025
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 26967 (June 25, 2025); see also Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown,
on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\4\ 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.\5\

Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of all Case Deadlines,'' dated

Results of the Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Circular Welded Carbon Steel Standard Pipe and Tube Products from
the Republic of T[uuml]rkiye; 2024-2025,'' dated concurrently with,
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order is CWP from T[uuml]rkiye. For
a complete description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Constructed
export price is calculated in accordance with section 772 of the Act.
NV is calculated in accordance with section 773 of the Act. For a full
description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Results of Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the
following estimated weighted-average dumping margin exists for the
period May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Producer/exporter dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S.; Borusan Birlesik Boru 4.91
Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.\7\.....................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed to interested parties for these preliminary results 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 accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ In prior segments of this proceeding, we treated Borusan
Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari ve Ticaret A.S. and Borusan Istikbal
Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity. See, e.g., Welded Carbon Steel
Standard Pipe and Tube Products from Turkey: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of No
Shipments; 2013-2014, 80 FR 76674 (December 10, 2015). We determine
that there is no evidence on the record of this review for altering
our treatment of Borusan Birlesik Boru Fabrikalari Sanayi ve Ticaret
A.S. and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. as a single entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Comment
Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), we have modified the deadline for interested parties
to submit case briefs to Commerce to no later than 21 days after the

authorities.\10\ All briefs must be filed electronically using ACCESS.
An electronically filed document must be received successfully in its

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.309.
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Service Procedures).
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2)(iii) and (d)(2)(iii), we
request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\11\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
public executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the public executive summaries as
the basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the final results in this administrative
review. We request that interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note
that Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\12\ See APO and Service Procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) the party's
name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants;
and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Oral presentations at the
hearing will be limited to issues raised in the briefs. If a request
for a hearing is made, Commerce will inform parties of the scheduled
date for the hearing.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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.
If Borusan's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this
review, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for each importer's examined sales to the total entered
value of those sales. Where we
[[Page 51152]]
do not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer,
we will calculate an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.\14\ If
Borusan's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis or
where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Borusan
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate calculated in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this 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.\17\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the company
listed above will be that established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed companies not covered by this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the
company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
be 14.74 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\18\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 31, 2026.
