SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
khammond on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
On June 13, 2017, the Department of
Commerce (Commerce) published the
Final Results of its administrative
review of the antidumping duty order 1
on certain circular welded non-alloy
steel pipe from Mexico.2 The period of
review (POR) is November 1, 2014,
through October 31, 2015. Commerce
conducted an administrative review of
mandatory respondents Maquilacero
and Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos,
S.A. de C.V./PYTCO, S.A. de C.V.
(Regiopytsa),3 and non-selected
respondents Conduit, S.A. de C.V.
(Conduit), Productos Laminados de
Monterrey, S.A. de C.V. (Prolamsa), and
Ternium Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
(Ternium).4 In the Final Results,
Commerce found that there were entries
of in-scope merchandise produced and/
or exported by Maquilacero, S.A. de C.
V. (Maquilacero) during the POR and
calculated a 7.32 percent ad valorem
margin for those entries. However,
Commerce also stated its intent to
‘‘adjust the assessment rate for. . .
certain entries of subject merchandise
produced and/or exported by
Maquilacero . . . to account for the total
amount of duties that would have been
collected on {Maquilacero’s} full
universe of U.S. sales.’’ 5
On July 12, 2017, Maquilacero timely
filed a request for a for a NAFTA panel
review challenging Commerce’s Final
Results. Subsequent to Maquilacero’s
request for this NAFTA panel review,
Commerce determined that certain of

3 We treated Regiomontana de Perfiles y Tubos,
S.A. de C.V., and PYTCO, S.A. de C.V., as a single
entity for the Final Results; this remains unchanged
in these amended final results.
4 Three additional companies were subject to
review but were determined to have had no
shipments of subject merchandise into the United
States during the POR in the Final Results; that
determination is unchanged in these amended final
results.

Maquilacero’s tubing products reported
during the 2014–2015 administrative
review are not within the scope of the
Order.6
The United States and Maquilacero
have now entered into an agreement to
settle this dispute. The NAFTA
Secretariat terminated the panel review
with an effective completion date of
October 11, 2018.
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended,
and 19 CFR 351.212(b). Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP within 7 days after the date of
publication of these amended final
results of review in the Federal
Register.
Commerce will instruct CBP to apply
an ad valorem assessment rate of 7.32
percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported, and
imported, by Maquilacero. Commerce
will further instruct CBP that certain
entries for which suspension of
liquidation continued may be of
merchandise determined to be out of the
scope of the antidumping duty order on
circular welded non-alloy steel pipe
from Mexico, and that CBP should
liquidate those entries without regard to
duties, as previously instructed.
The ad valorem assessment rates for
all entries of subject merchandise
during the POR which were produced
and/or exported by Regiopytsa, Conduit,
Prolamsa, and Ternium remain
unchanged from the Final Results.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because a new cash deposit rate has
been calculated for Maquilacero in a
subsequent administrative review,7
Commerce will not instruct CBP to
change the cash deposit rate for
Maquilacero.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
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 the Secretary’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred, and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
We are issuing this determination and
publishing these amended final results
of antidumping duty administrative
review pursuant to settlement.
Dated: October 17, 2018.
