Certain Circular Welded Carbon Steel
Pipes and Tubes from Taiwan: Notice
of Intent to Rescind Administrative
Review
AGENCY: Import Administration,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: In response to a request from
Allied Tube & Conduit Corporation, a
domestic interested party, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) initiated an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan. This
review covers one firm, Yieh Hsing
Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing), for the
period May 1, 2007, through April 30,
2008. The Department intends to
rescind this review after determining
that Yieh Hsing did not have entries
during the period of review (POR) upon
which to assess antidumping duties.
EFFECTIVE DATE: January 21, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Steve Bezirganian or Robert James, AD/
CVD Operations, Office 7, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 14th Street and Constitution
Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230;
telephone (202) 482–1131 or (202) 482–
0649, respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Department published an antidumping
duty order on certain circular welded
carbon steel pipes and tubes from
Taiwan on May 7, 1984. See Certain
Circular Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and
Tubes From Taiwan: Antidumping Duty
Order, 49 FR 19369 (May 7, 1984). The
Department published a notice of
‘‘Opportunity to Request an
Administrative Review’’ of the
antidumping duty order for the period
May 1, 2007, through April 30, 2008, on
May 5, 2008. See Antidumping or
Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity
To Request Administrative Review, 73
FR 24532 (May 5, 2008). On May 30,
2008, Allied Tube & Conduit
Corporation, a producer of the domestic
like product, requested that the
Department conduct an administrative
review of Yieh Hsing’s exports of
merchandise covered by the order. In
response to the request from Allied
Tube & Conduit Corporation, on July 1,
2008, the Department published the
initiation of the antidumping duty
administrative review on certain

circular welded carbon steel pipes and
tubes from Taiwan, pursuant to section
751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). See Initiation of
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews and Requests
for Revocation in Part, 73 FR 37409
(July 1, 2008).
On August 18, 2008, Yieh Hsing
submitted a letter to the Department
certifying that it had no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. On August 20,
2008, Allied Tube & Conduit
Corporation submitted a letter
requesting that the review be extended
to cover Yieh Phui Enterprise Company,
Ltd. (Yieh Phui), noting that Yieh Phui
had been found to be the successor–ininterest to Yieh Hsing in a prior
proceeding. On August 25, 2008, Yieh
Hsing and another interested party,
SeAH Steel America (SeAH), each
submitted letters objecting to the
extension of the review to cover Yieh
Phui. On August 27, 2008, Allied Tube
& Conduit Corporation filed a response
to SeAH’s comments, reiterating its
request that the review be extended to
cover Yieh Phui. On November 14,
2008, the Department determined that
the review should not be extended to
Yieh Phui. See the November 14, 2008
memorandum to the file entitled
‘‘Treatment of Yieh Hsing Enterprise
Co., Ltd. (Yieh Hsing) and Yieh Phui
Enterprise Co. Ltd. (Yieh Phui): 2007/
2008 Administrative Review of the
Antidumping Duty Order on Circular
Welded Carbon Steel Pipes and Tubes
from Taiwan.’’
On November 18, 2008, the
Department conducted a data query of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) import entry information, and
found no evidence of entries during the
POR involving subject merchandise
manufactured or shipped by Yieh Hsing.
See the December 23, 2008,
memorandum from Steve Bezirganian to
the File. The Department issued a ‘‘No
Shipment Inquiry’’ to CBP, to confirm
that there were no POR exports of
subject merchandise manufactured and/
or exported by Yieh Hsing. See CBP
message number 8357202, dated
December 22, 2008. CBP only responds
to the Department’s inquiry when CBP
finds that there have been shipments.
CBP did not respond to our inquiry.
Therefore, we preliminarily determine
there were no Yieh Hsing shipments or
entries of subject merchandise exported
by Yieh Hsing to the United States
during the POR.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
is certain circular welded carbon steel

pipes and tubes from Taiwan, which are
defined as: welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes, of circular cross section, with
walls not thinner than 0.065 inch, and
0.375 inch or more but not over 4.5
inches in outside diameter, currently
classified under Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
item numbers 7306.30.5025,
7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, and
7306.30.5055. Although the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Intent To Rescind Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), the
Department may rescind an
administrative review if it concludes
that during the POR there were no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise. The Department’s
practice, supported by precedent,
requires that there be entries during the
POR upon which to assess antidumping
duties. See, e.g., Stainless Steel Bar from
Italy: Preliminary Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Rescission of
Review, 70 FR 17656 (April 7, 2005)
unchanged in Stainless Steel Bar from
Italy: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review and Rescission
of Review, 70 FR 46480 (August 10,
2005).
Yieh Hsing certified that it had no
entries of subject merchandise during
the 2007–2008 POR, and the
Department’s review of official data
from CBP did not indicate otherwise.
Therefore, we have preliminarily
determined that Yieh Hsing had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR, and we intend to
rescind the 2007–2008 administrative
review.
