SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 20, 2019, Commerce
published its Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on circular
welded carbon quality steel pipe from
the People’s Republic of China (China)
for 122 companies covering the July 1,
2017 through June 30, 2018 POR.1
Although invited to do so, interested
parties did not comment on our
Preliminary Results.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain welded carbon quality steel
pipes and tubes, of circular crosssection, and with an outside diameter of
0.372 inches (9.45 mm) or more, but not
more than 16 inches (406.4 mm),
whether or not stenciled, regardless of
wall thickness, surface finish (e.g.,
black, galvanized, or painted), end
finish (e.g., plain end, beveled end,
grooved, threaded, or threaded and
coupled), or industry specification (e.g.,
ASTM, proprietary, or other), generally
known as standard pipe and structural
pipe (they may also be referred to as
circular, structural, or mechanical
tubing).
The pipe products that are the subject
of the order are currently classifiable in
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) statistical
reporting numbers 7306.30.10.00,
7306.30.50.25, 7306.30.50.32,
7306.30.50.40, 7306.30.50.55,
7306.30.50.85, 7306.30.50.90,
7306.50.10.00, 7306.50.50.50,
7306.50.50.70, 7306.19.10.10,
7306.19.10.50, 7306.19.51.10, and
7306.19.51.50. However, the product
description, and not the HTSUS
classification, is dispositive of whether
merchandise imported into the United
States falls within the scope of the
order.2
Analysis
As noted above, no parties
commented on the Preliminary Results.
Therefore, we are adopting the decisions
in the Preliminary Decision
1 See Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Pipe
from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Partial Rescission; 2017–2018, 84 FR
22817 (May 20, 2019) (Preliminary Results).
2 For a complete description of the scope of the
order, see Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum
for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review of Circular Welded
Carbon Quality Steel Pipe from the People’s
Republic of China,’’ dated May 13, 2019
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).

Memorandum for these final results of
review. In the Preliminary Results,
Commerce determined that all 122
companies under review did not
establish their eligibility for a separate
rate and are part of the China-wide
entity.3 For these final results of review,
we have continued to treat the 122
companies under review as part of the
China-wide entity. Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide
entity, we are not conducting a review
of the China-wide entity,4 and thus,
there is no change to its antidumping
duty rate. The existing antidumping
duty rate for the China-wide entity is
85.55 percent.5
For additional details, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
which is a public document and is on
file electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and in the
Central Records Unit, room B8024 of the
main Commerce building. In addition, a
complete version of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum can be accessed
directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/
frn/. The signed and the
electronic versions of the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and
19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has
determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to instruct
CBP to liquidate entries of subject
merchandise during this POR from the
122 companies under review at the
China-wide rate. Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the publication date 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

Notification to Interested Parties
This notice also 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 the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of the antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APOs) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/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 that
is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213
