SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
This administrative review covers
nine exporters of the subject
merchandise, including the sole
mandatory respondent, i.e., Agir.
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the closure
of the Federal Government from January
20 through 22, 2018. If the new deadline

accordance with Commerce’s practice,
the deadline will become the next
business day. The revised deadline for
the preliminary result is now February
5, 2018.1 Interested parties are invited to
comment on these preliminary results.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
antidumping order is certain welded
carbon quality light-walled steel pipe
and tube, of rectangular (including
square) cross section, having a wall
thickness of less than 4 millimeters. The
merchandise subject to the order is
classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States at
subheadings 7306.61.50.00 and

Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
On August 2, 2017, Atlas Tube and
Searing Industries (collectively, the
petitioners) timely withdrew their
request for an administrative review of
each of the companies for which they
had requested a review, except for Agir.
On September 7, 2017, Noksel timely
withdrew its request for an
administrative review of itself. No other
parties requested a review of the
companies for which the petitioners and
Noksel timely withdrew their review
requests. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind
an administrative review, in whole or in
part, if the party or parties that
requested a review withdraws the
request within 90 days of the
publication date of the notice of
initiation of the requested review.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding
this review of the AD order on LWRPT
from Turkey with respect to Toscelik
Profil ve Sac Endustrisi A.S., Toscelik

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce will determine, and Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) shall
assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates equal
to the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for examined sales
with a particular importer to the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise under review and for
future deposits of estimated duties,
where applicable.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
respondent for which it did not know
that its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of LWRPT from Turkey
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the notice of the final
results of this administrative review, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for
Agir will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review (except,
if the rate is zero or de minimis, no cash
deposit will be required); (2) for
merchandise exported by manufacturers
or exporters not covered in this review
but covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate

firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the less-than-fair-value
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding
for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 27.04
percent ad valorem, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.3 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

This notice also serves as a

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.

351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole
or in part, if the party or parties that requested a review withdraws
the request within 90 days of the publication date of the notice of

Preliminary Results of Review
The Department preliminarily determines the weighted-average

Weighted-
Manufacturer/exporter average margin

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates equal to the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated for examined sales with a
particular importer to the total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment
of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise under review and for

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.
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Dated: February 5, 2018.
