entries covered by this review where an
importer-specific antidumping duty
assessment rate is not zero or de
minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis.
For Toscelik, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate its entries during the POR
imported by the importers identified in
its questionnaire responses without
regard to antidumping duties, because
its weighted-average dumping margin in
these final results is zero.13
For the three companies that had
shipments during the POR and that
were not selected for individual
examination, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries and
assess antidumping duties at an ad
valorem rate equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin specified in
the ‘‘Final Rates of the Administrative
Review’’ section, above.
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by any company upon which
we initiated an administrative review
and for which we have found that that
company had ‘‘no shipments’’ during
the POR, or for which they did not
know that 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.14
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements

companies not included in the final
results of this review, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the company was
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a previous
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) 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 subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 14.74 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.15 These 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping 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 duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On July 18, 2019, Commerce
published the Preliminary Results of the
administrative review of certain circular
welded carbon steel pipes and tubes
from Taiwan.1 We invited interested
parties to comment on the Preliminary
Results. A summary of events that
occurred since Commerce published the
Preliminary Results can be found in the

Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as Amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain circular welded carbon steel
pipes and tubes from Taiwan. The
products are currently classifiable under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings:
7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032,
7306.30.5040, and 7306.30.5055.

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
preliminarily determined that Sheng Yu
Steel Co., Ltd. (Sheng Yu), Tension Steel
Industries Co., Ltd. (Tension Steel),
Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Yieh
Hsing), and Pat & Jeff Enterprise Co.,
Ltd. (P&J) had no shipments during the
POR.4 Following publication of the
Preliminary Results, we received no
comments from interested parties
regarding this decision. As a result, and
because the record contains no evidence
to the contrary, we continue to find that
Sheng Yu, Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing,
and P&J made no shipments during the
POR. Accordingly, consistent with
Commerce’s practice, we intend to
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to liquidate any
existing entries of merchandise
produced by Sheng Yu, Tension Steel,
Yieh Hsing, and P&J but exported by
other parties without their own rate, at
the all-others rate.5
Final Results of the Review
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for Shin Yang and the 15
companies not selected for individual
review, for the period May 1, 2017
through April 30, 2018:
Producer/exporter

Assessment
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 Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
For Shin Yang, because its weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce has calculated importerspecific antidumping duty assessment
rates. We calculated importer-specific
antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales of
each importer and dividing each of
these amounts by the total sales quantity
associated with those sales. We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review where an importerspecific assessment rate is not zero or de
minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries for which the
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate equal to Shin
Yang’s dumping margin identified
above.6 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.7
As noted in the ‘‘Final Determination
of No Shipments’’ section, above,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
any existing entries of merchandise
produced by Sheng Yu, Tension Steel,
Yieh Hsing, or P&J, but exported by
other parties, at the rate for the
intermediate reseller, if applicable, or at
the all-others rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
6 The Act does not specify how to calculate a
dumping margin for a respondent that is not
selected for individual review in an administrative
review. Therefore, we look to section 735(c)(5)(A)
of the Act, which explains how to calculate the ‘‘all
others’’ rate in an investigation, for guidance.
Consistent with how we would calculate the ‘‘all
others’’ rate in an investigation, we are basing the
dumping margin for non-selected companies on the
weighted-average dumping margin calculated for
the selected respondent, Shin Yang.

accounting for substantially all imports
of sugar from Mexico have signed an
amendment to the Agreement
Suspending the Antidumping Duty
Investigation on Sugar from Mexico (AD
Agreement). The amendment to the AD
Agreement modifies the definitions for
sugar from Mexico, revises the reference
prices for the applicable sugar from
Mexico, and provides for enhanced
monitoring and enforcement
mechanisms.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 17, 2014, Commerce
initiated an antidumping duty
investigation under section 732 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
to determine whether imports of sugar
from Mexico are being, or are likely to
be, sold in the United States at less than
PO 00000

fair value (LTFV).1 On October 24, 2014,
Commerce preliminarily determined
that sugar from Mexico is being, or is
likely to be, sold in the United States at
LTFV, as provided in section 733 of the
Act, and postponed the final
determination in this investigation until
no later than 135 days after the date of
publication of the preliminary
determination in the Federal Register.2
Commerce and a representative of the
signatory producers/exporters
accounting for substantially all imports
of sugar from Mexico signed the AD
Agreement on December 19, 2014.3
On January 8, 2015, Imperial Sugar
Company (Imperial) and AmCane Sugar
LLC (AmCane) each notified Commerce
that they had petitioned the
International Trade Commission (ITC) to
conduct a review of the AD Agreement
under section 734(h) of the Act, to
determine whether the injurious effects
of the imports of the subject
merchandise are eliminated completely
by the AD Agreement. On March 24,
2015, in a unanimous vote, the ITC
found that the AD Agreement
eliminated completely the injurious
effects of imports of sugar from Mexico.4
As a result of the ITC’s determination,
the AD Agreement remained in effect,
and on March 27, 2015, Commerce, in
accordance with section 734(h)(3) of the
Act, instructed U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to terminate the
suspension of liquidation of all entries
of sugar from Mexico and refund all
cash deposits.
Notwithstanding issuance of the AD
Agreement, pursuant to requests by
domestic interested parties, Commerce
continued its investigation and made an
affirmative final determination of sales
at LTFV.5 In its Final Determination,
Commerce calculated weighted-average
dumping margins of 40.48 percent for
Fondo de Empresas Expropiadas del
Sector Azucarero (FEESA), 42.14
percent for Ingenio Tala S.A. de C.V.
and certain affiliated sugar mills of
Grupo Azucarero Mexico S.A. de C.V.

Assessment
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 Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
For Shin Yang, because its weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce has
calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates. We
calculated importer-specific antidumping duty assessment rates by
aggregating the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined
sales of each importer and dividing each of these amounts by the total
sales quantity associated with those sales. We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review where an importer-specific assessment rate is not zero or de
minimis. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping duties any entries for which
the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate equal to Shin Yang's dumping margin
identified above.\6\ 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ The Act does not specify how to calculate a dumping margin
for a respondent that is not selected for individual review in an
administrative review. Therefore, we look to section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act, which explains how to calculate the ``all others'' rate in
an investigation, for guidance. Consistent with how we would
calculate the ``all others'' rate in an investigation, we are basing
the dumping margin for non-selected companies on the weighted-
average dumping margin calculated for the selected respondent, Shin
Yang.
\7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted in the ``Final Determination of No Shipments'' section,
above, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of
merchandise produced by Sheng Yu, Tension Steel, Yieh Hsing, or P&J,
but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate
reseller, if applicable, or at the all-others rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
[[Page 3620]]
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 date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for each specific
company listed above will be equal to the rate established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by
producers or exporters not covered in this review, including the
companies Commerce has determined had no shipments in these final
results, but covered in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published
for the most recently completed segment in which the company was
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
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 9.70 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\8\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

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 Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and increase the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: January 14, 2020.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
