importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). For non-examined
respondents, Commerce shall direct
CBP to assess antidumping duties at an
ad valorem rate equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping
margin determined in the final results of
this review. Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce clarified its ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ regulation on May 6,
2003.11 This clarification applies to
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Saha Thai for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States. In
such instances, 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.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication 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 the companies
under review will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if that rate is de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above
in the preliminary results of this review,
including those for which Commerce
may determine had no shipments
during the POR, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review or another
completed segment of this proceeding,
but the manufacturer is, then the cash

deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the manufacturer
of the merchandise; and (4) if neither
the exporter nor the manufacturer is a
firm covered in this or any previously
completed segment of this proceeding,
then the cash deposit rate will be the
all- others rate of 15.67 percent,
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.12 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
preliminary results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 9, 2019, Commerce
initiated an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order 1 on carbon
steel butt-weld pipe fittings (butt-weld
pipe fittings) from the People’s Republic
of China (China), in accordance with
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), with respect to
one company, Solidbend.2 On October
9, 2019, Solidbend certified it had no
shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR.3 On October 18, 2019,
we placed United States Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) data on the
record and invited comment from
interested parties.4 In December 2019,
we confirmed Solidbend’s no shipment
claim with CBP.5 Because Solidbend
reported it has no shipments, several
parties requested that Commerce
rescind its review of Solidbend; 6
however, Solidbend did not withdraw
its review request, and consistent with
our practice, we have not rescinded this
review with respect to Solidbend.7
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the
Order consists of certain carbon steel
butt-weld pipe fittings, having an inside

diameter of less than 14 inches,
imported in either finished or
unfinished form. These formed or forged
pipe fittings are used to join sections in
piping systems where conditions
require permanent, welded connections,
as distinguished from fittings based on
other fastening methods (e.g., threaded,
grooved, or bolted fittings). Carbon steel
butt-weld pipe fittings are currently
classified under subheading 7307.93.30
of the HTSUS. The HTSUS subheading
is provided for convenience and
customs purposes. The written product
description remains dispositive.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
On October 9, 2019, Solidbend timely
filed a statement reporting that it made
no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR.8 We
confirmed the claim from Solidbend
with CBP. Based on this information, we
preliminarily determine that Solidbend
had no shipments during the POR.
Consistent with our practice, we are
not preliminarily rescinding the review
with respect to Solidbend. Rather, we
will complete the review with respect to
this company and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.9
Disclosure and Public Comment
Commerce has made no calculations
as part of these preliminary results.
Accordingly, there will be no disclosure
of the calculations performed for these
preliminary results of review in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review no
later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
extended.10
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Pursuant to Commerce’s
practice in non-market economy cases,
if Commerce continues to determine in
the final results that Solidbend had no
shipments of subject merchandise,
Commerce will liquidate any suspended
entries during the POR from Solidbend
at the China-wide rate.11 We intend to
issue assessment instructions 15 days

products
[[Page 18555]]
from Portugal. For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying
these preliminary results, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A
list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is
included as an appendix to this notice. The Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the public 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 is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Commerce
building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is available at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The
signed and electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum

Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margin exists for the period March 1, 2018 through February 28,
2019:

Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Navigator Company, S.A.............................. 6.75
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. If Navigator's weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem antidumping 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). We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review
when the importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is not zero or de minimis. If Navigator's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties. 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Navigator
for which it did not know that the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after

requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
