liquidate that respondent’s entries
without regards to antidumping duties
in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews, i.e., ‘‘{w}here
the weighted-average margin of
dumping for the exporter is determined
to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 19
Further, if an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
then we will instruct CBP to liquidate
that importer’s entries without regards
to antidumping duties.20 The 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.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Toyo
Kohan for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.21 The all-others rate is
45.42 percent.22
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review 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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 companies subject
to this review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
administrative review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, no cash deposit
will be required); (2) for merchandise
exported by a producer or exporter not
covered in this review but covered in a
prior, completed segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will

if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the lessthan-fair value investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established a prior, completed
segment of this proceeding for the most
recent period for the producer of the
subject merchandise; or (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will be the all-others rate of

Notification to Importers
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.
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

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results,
Commerce shall determine and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess antidumping duties on all
¨
appropriate entries. If Yucel’s weightedaverage dumping margin is above de
minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate an importerspecific assessment rate on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
¨
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Yucel’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we will instruct CBP not to
assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.7
For entries of subject merchandise
¨
during the POR produced by Yucel for
which it did not know 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.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual examination,
Cayirova Boru San A.S., HG Tubulars
¸
¸
˙
¨
Canada Ltd., and Yucelboru Ihracat,
Ithalat, we will instruct CBP to apply
the rates listed above to all entries of
subject merchandise produced and/or
exported by these firms.
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.

section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for companies subject to
this review will be the rates established

investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. If Y[uuml]cel's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis in the final results of this review,
we will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Y[uuml]cel's weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we
will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in
accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by
Y[uuml]cel for which it did not know 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.
For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, [Ccedil]ayirova Boru San A.[Scedil]., HG Tubulars Canada
Ltd., and Y[uuml]celboru [Idot]hracat, Ithalat, we will instruct CBP to
apply the rates listed above to all entries of subject merchandise
produced and/or exported by these firms.
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of OCTG from Turkey entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for companies
subject to this review will be the rates established in the final
results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers 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 published for the most recent period; (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 recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 35.86 percent,\8\ the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation, adjusted for the
export-subsidy rate established in the companion countervailing duty
investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary 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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
Dated: June 5, 2018.
