by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for the company listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is less than 0.50 percent and,

adjusted for export subsidies.15 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until

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
Commerce is issuing and publishing
these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(d).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
AGENCY:
Background
On November 5, 2021, based on
timely requests for review, in
accordance with 19 CFR
351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated an
administrative review on heavy walled
rectangular welded carbon steel pipes
and tubes from the Republic of Korea
(Korea).1 We initiated this review with
respect to two producers and exporters
of the subject merchandise. However, on
December 22, 2021, Dong-A-Steel Co.,
Ltd. and SeAH Steel Corporation
(collectively, DOSCO/SeAH) withdrew
its request for an administrative
review.2 Thus, we conducted a review

On May 11, 2022, Commerce
extended the preliminary results of this
review by 90 days, until August 31,
2021.3 For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this review, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.4
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
certain heavy walled rectangular welded
steel pipes and tubes from Korea.
Products subject to the order are
currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) item number
7306.61.1000. Subject merchandise may
also be classified under 7306.61.3000.
Although the HTSUS numbers and
ASTM specification are provided for
convenience and for customs purposes,
the written product description remains
dispositive.5
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)

Partial Rescission of Administrative
Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1),
Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in
part, if a party who requested the review
withdraws the request within 90 days of
the date of publication of notice of
initiation of the requested review. On
December 22, 2021, DOSCO/SeAH
withdrew its request for an
administrative review. No other party
requested a review of this company.
Accordingly, we are rescinding this
review, in part, with respect to DOSCO/
SeAH, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.213(d)(1).
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
preliminarily determine that the

Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
issues raised in any written briefs, not
later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless
otherwise extended.13
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.14 If the weighted average
dumping margin for HiSteel is not zero
or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem antidumping duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for each importer’s examined sales to
the total entered value of those same
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).15 If the weighted-average
dumping margin for the respondent
listed above is zero or de minimis in the
final results, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results, we will instruct CBP
not to assess antidumping duties on any
of its entries, in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews.16 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
11 See
19 CFR 351.310(c).
19 CFR 351.310(d).
13 See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
14 See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
15 In these preliminary 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
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101

review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by HiSteel for which HiSteel did not
know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, 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.17
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).
For DOSCO/SeAH, the company for
which we are rescinding this
administrative review, antidumping
duties shall be assessed at rates equal to
the cash deposit of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time
of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse,
for consumption, during the period
September 1, 2020, through August 31,
2021, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the
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 by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for the exporter listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review, except if
the rate is less than 0.50 percent and
therefore de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in
which case the cash deposit rate will be
zero; (2) for companies not covered in
this review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific

cash deposit rate published for the most

exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 3.24 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.18 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
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

Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if a party who requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the requested review. On
December 22, 2021, DOSCO/SeAH withdrew its request for an
administrative review. No other party requested a review of this
company. Accordingly, we are rescinding this review, in part, with
respect to DOSCO/SeAH, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine that the
following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period
September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2021:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\14\ If the weighted
average dumping margin for HiSteel is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\15\ If the weighted-average dumping margin for the
respondent listed above is zero or de minimis in the final results, or
an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results, we will instruct CBP not to assess antidumping duties on any
of its entries, in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\16\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\15\ In these preliminary 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 Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\16\ Id. at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by HiSteel for which
HiSteel did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, 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.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
For DOSCO/SeAH, the company for which we are rescinding this
administrative review, antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates
equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at
the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption,
during the period September 1, 2020, through August 31, 2021, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the 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 by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the exporter
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and therefore de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for companies not covered in this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific
[[Page 53727]]
cash deposit rate published for the most recently completed segment;
(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or a previous
segment, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the
cash deposit rate established for the most recently completed segment
for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for
all other producers or exporters will continue to be 3.24 percent, the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\18\ 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 results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 26, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
