specific ad valorem duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Upon issuance of the final results of this
administrative review, if an importerspecific assessment rate calculated in
the final results is not zero or de
minimis, Commerce will issue
instructions directly to CBP to assess
antidumping duties on appropriate
entries. Where either the respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by each 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 allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.9
We intend to issue assessment
instructions directly 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 notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for respondents noted above
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered
in this review, a prior review, or the
original investigation, but the producer
is, then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding

for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 15.45 percent, the
all-others rate established in the lessthan-fair-value investigation as modified
by the section 129 determination.10
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
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 and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during the POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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 the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
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
CFR 351.221(b)(5).

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations
performed in connection with these
final results to parties in this proceeding
within five days after the date of
publication of the final results, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce will determine, 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.
For Garg Tube, we calculated
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).5
Where an importer-specific assessment
rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), the entries by that importer
will be liquidated without reference to
antidumping duties. For entries of Garg
Tube’s merchandise during the period
of review for which it did not know the
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 the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
For Apl Apollo Tubes Limited 6 and
the 25 companies which were not
selected for individual examination,7
we will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties at a rate equal to
each company’s weighted-average
dumping margin in these final results of
review.
5 In these final results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the
Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
6 The rate for this company was determined on
the basis of facts otherwise available with an
adverse inference. See Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, section ‘‘Application of Facts
Available with an Adverse Inference,’’ uncontested
and unchanged in these final results.

In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by each respondent
for which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in

We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results to parties in this proceeding within five days
after the date of publication of the final results, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will determine, 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.
For Garg Tube, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\5\ Where an importer-
specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
the entries by that importer will be liquidated without reference to
antidumping duties. For entries of Garg Tube's merchandise during the
period of review for which it did not know the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ In these final results, Commerce applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Apl Apollo Tubes Limited \6\ and the 25 companies which were
not selected for individual examination,\7\ we will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties at a rate equal to each company's weighted-
average dumping margin in these final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The rate for this company was determined on the basis of
facts otherwise available with an adverse inference. See Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, section ``Application of Facts Available with
an Adverse Inference,'' uncontested and unchanged in these final
results.
\7\ These companies are Asian Contec Ltd., Bhandari Foils &
Tubes Ltd., Bhushan Steel Ltd., Blue Moon Logistics Pvt. Ltd., CH
Robinson Worldwide, Ess-Kay Engineers, Manushi Enterprise, Nishi
Boring Corporation, Fiber Tech Composite Pvt. Ltd., GCL Private
Limited, Goodluck India Ltd., GVN Fuels Ltd., Hydromatik, Jindal
Quality Tubular Ltd., KLT Automatic & Tubular Products Ltd., Lloyds
Line Pipes Ltd., MARINEtrans India Private Ltd., Patton
International Ltd., SAR Transport Systems Pvt. Ltd., Surya Global
Steel Tubes Ltd., Surya Roshni Ltd., Welspun India Ltd., Zenith
Birla (India) Ltd., Zenith Birla Steels Private Ltd., and Zenith
Dyeintermediates Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
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.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings:
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of these final results of review.

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 POR. 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.
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 return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. 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
We are issuing and publishing these results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 9, 2020.
