SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 25, 2025, based on timely requests for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order on certain cold-drawn mechanical
tubing (cold-drawn mechanical tubing) from India.\1\ This review covers
two producers/exporters of subject merchandise.\2\ On August 29, 2025,
Commerce identified Goodluck India Limited; Good Luck Industries;
Goodluck Industries; Good Luck Steel Tubes Limited (collectively,
Goodluck) and Tube Products of India, Ltd., a unit of Tube Investments
of India Limited (TII) as the mandatory respondents in this review.\3\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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\ On April 8, 2026, we extended the preliminary
results of this review to no later than August 28, 2026.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Federal Government,'' dated November 14, 2025.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.\12\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their

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).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\13\ 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

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\15\ 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 Goodluck and TII's weighted-average dumping margins are 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 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.\16\ To determine whether an importer-specific,
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
ratio based on estimated entered values. If Goodluck and TII's
weighted-average dumping margin are 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.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\17\ 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 Goodluck
or TII 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.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 companies
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 5.87 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\19\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Investigation Final Determination, 83 FR at 26965,
unchanged in Second Amended Final Determination and Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 56630]]
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 countervailing 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: August 28, 2026.
