alloy steel (cold-drawn mechanical tubing) of
circular cross-section, in actual outside
diameters less than 331 mm, and regardless
of wall thickness, surface finish, end finish
or industry specification. The subject colddrawn mechanical tubing is a tubular
product with a circular cross-sectional shape
that has been cold-drawn or otherwise coldfinished after the initial tube formation in a
manner that involves a change in the
diameter or wall thickness of the tubing, or
both. The subject cold-drawn mechanical
tubing may be produced from either welded
(e.g., electric resistance welded, continuous
welded, etc.) or seamless (e.g., pierced,
pilgered or extruded, etc.) carbon or alloy
steel tubular products. It may also be heat
treated after cold working. Such heat
treatments may include, but are not limited
to, annealing, normalizing, quenching and
tempering, stress relieving or finish
annealing. Typical cold-drawing methods for
subject merchandise include, but are not
limited to, drawing over mandrel, rod
drawing, plug drawing, sink drawing and
similar processes that involve reducing the
outside diameter of the tubing with a die or
similar device, whether or not controlling the
inside diameter of the tubing with an internal
support device such as a mandrel, rod, plug
or similar device.
Subject cold-drawn mechanical tubing is
typically certified to meet industry
specifications for cold-drawn tubing
including but not limited to:
(1) American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) or American Society of
Mechanical Engineers (ASME) specifications
ASTM A–512, ASTM A–513 Type 3 (ASME

(4) United States Military Standards (MIL)
MIL–T–5066 and MIL–T–6736;
(5) foreign standards equivalent to one of
the previously listed ASTM, ASME, SAE,
AMS or MIL specifications including but not
limited to:
(a) German Institute for Standardization
(DIN) specifications DIN 2391–2, DIN 2393–

this scope, is also covered by the scope of
these investigations when it meets the
physical description set forth above.
Steel products included in the scope of
these investigations are products in which:
(1) Iron predominates, by weight, over each
of the other contained elements; and (2) the
carbon content is 2 percent or less by weight.
For purposes of this scope, the place of
cold-drawing determines the country of
origin of the subject merchandise. Subject
merchandise that is subject to minor working
in a third country that occurs after drawing
in one of the subject countries including, but
not limited to, heat treatment, cutting to
length, straightening, nondestruction testing,
deburring or chamfering, remains within the
scope of the investigations.
All products that meet the written physical
description are within the scope of these
investigations unless specifically excluded or
covered by the scope of an existing order.
Merchandise that meets the physical
description of cold-drawn mechanical tubing
above is within the scope of the
investigations even if it is also dual or
multiple certified to an otherwise excluded
specification listed below. The following
products are outside of, and/or specifically
excluded from, the scope of these
investigations:
(1) Cold-drawn stainless steel tubing,
containing 10.5 percent or more of chromium
by weight and not more than 1.2 percent of
carbon by weight;
(2) products certified to one or more of the
ASTM, ASME or American Petroleum
Institute (API) specifications listed below:
• ASTM A–53;
• ASTM A–106;
• ASTM A–179 (ASME SA 179);
• ASTM A–192 (ASME SA 192);
• ASTM A–209 (ASME SA 209);

• ASTM A–199;
• ASTM A–500;
• ASTM A–556;
• ASTM A–565;
• API 5L; and
• API 5CT
except that any cold-drawn tubing product
certified to one of the above excluded
specifications will not be excluded from the
scope if it is also dual- or multiple-certified
to any other specification that otherwise
would fall within the scope of these
investigations.
The products subject to the investigations
are currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
under item numbers: 7304.31.3000,

Background
On November 4, 2016, the Department
of Commerce (the Department)
published a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
antidumping duty (AD) order on
polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet

through October 31, 2016.1 The
Department received a timely request
from the petitioners 2 for an AD
administrative review of two
companies: JBF RAK LLC (JBF) and Flex
Middle East FZE (Flex).3 In addition,
Polyplex USA LLC (Polyplex), a
domestic interested party, submitted a
timely request for an AD review of JBF
and Uflex Limited (Uflex).4 JBF
submitted a timely request for an AD
review of itself.5 On January 13, 2017,

pursuant to the requests from interested
parties, the Department published a
notice of initiation of administrative
review with respect to Flex, Uflex, and
JBF.6 On April 13, 2017, the petitioners
withdrew their requests for reviews of
JBF and Flex.7
Rescission in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Secretary will rescind an administrative
review, in whole or in part, if a party
that requested the review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review. The Department
initiated the instant review on January
13, 2017 and the petitioners withdrew
their request on April 13, 2017, which
is within the 90-day period and is thus
timely. Because the petitioners’
withdrawal of their requests for review
is timely and because no other party
requested a review of Flex, we are
rescinding this review, in part, with
respect to Flex, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1). Polyplex did not
withdraw its request for review of JBF
and Uflex, and JBF did not withdraw its
request for review of itself. As such, the
instant review will continue with
respect to Uflex and JBF.

Assessment
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess anti-dumping duties on all

duties required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period
November 1, 2015, through October 31,
2016, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of this notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a reminder to
importers for whom this review is being
rescinded, as of the publication date of
this notice, 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 the
Secretary’s presumption that
