SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 24, 2018, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on stainless
steel butt-weld pipe fittings (pipe
fittings) from Malaysia.1 The
administrative review covers one
manufacturer/exporter of the subject
merchandise, Superinox. We provided
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results.
We received no comments. As such,
these final results are unchanged from
the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
For purposes of the order, the product
covered is butt-weld fittings. Butt-weld
fittings are under 14 inches in outside
diameter (based on nominal pipe size),
whether finished or unfinished. The
product encompasses all grades of
stainless steel and ‘‘commodity’’ and
‘‘specialty’’ fittings. Specifically
excluded from the definition are
threaded, grooved, and bolted fittings,
and fittings made from any material
other than stainless steel.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the
order are generally designated under
specification ASTM A403/A403M, the
standard specification for Wrought
Austenitic Stainless Steel Piping
Fittings, or its foreign equivalents (e.g.,
DIN or JIS specifications). This
specification covers two general classes
of fittings, WP and CR, of wrought
austenitic stainless steel fittings of

B16.9, ANSI B16.11, and ANSI B16.28.
Butt-weld fittings manufactured to
specification ASTM A774, or its foreign
equivalents, are also covered by the
order.
The order does not apply to cast
fittings. Cast austenitic stainless steel
pipe fittings are covered by
specifications A351/A351M, A743/
743M, and A744/A744M.
The butt-weld fittings subject to the
order are currently classifiable under
subheading 7307.23.0000 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order is dispositive.
Final Results of the Administrative
Review
We determine that a weighted-average
dumping margin of 60.10 percent exists
for Superinox for the period of February
1, 2017, through January 31, 2018.
Assessment Rates
In accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1) and the Final
Modification,2 Commerce will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to liquidate all appropriate entries
for Superinox without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Superinox
for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.3 We intend to issue
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirement
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of the final
results of administrative review for all
shipments of pipe fittings from Malaysia

cash deposit rate for Superinox will be
60.10 percent, the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered
in this administrative review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will

which the manufacturer or exporter
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
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 for the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results of administrative
review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
