Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and our analysis of the comments 
received, Commerce made certain changes to the preliminary margin 
calculations for Tubos de Acero de Mexico, S.A. (TAMSA) for these final 
results of review. For a discussion of the issues, see the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of Administrative Review

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin exists for the period November 1, 2023, through October 
31, 2024:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                   Exporter/manufacturer                       dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tubos de Acero de Mexico, S.A..............................        1.87
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis 
performed for these final results within five days of any public 
announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days 
after the date of publication of this notice, 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)(1), Commerce shall 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate 
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation 
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in 
Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because the mandatory respondent'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 calculated 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 calculated 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. To determine whether an importer-
specific, per-unit assessment rate is de minimis, in accordance with 19 
CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated an importer-specific ad valorem 
ratio based on estimated entered values. Where a mandatory respondent's 
weighted-average dumping margin is

[[Page 69809]]

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.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 19 CFR 352.106(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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 41 days \10\ 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Notice of Discontinuation Policy to Issue Liquidation 
Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January 
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of this notice for all shipments of subject merchandise 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication of these final results, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of 
the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for company subject to this review 
will be equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of this administrative review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this 
administrative 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; 
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior 
review, or the original investigation, but the producer is, 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 44.93 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\11\ These cash 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Order at 70786.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also serves as a 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 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.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 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 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 351.213(h) and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: November 2, 2026.
Scot Fullerton,
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Operations.
