Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 37 / Friday, February 24, 2023 / Notices The butt-weld fittings subject to this Order are currently classifiable under subheadings 7307.23.00.30 and 7307.23.00.90 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this Order is dispositive. Methodology Based on information obtained from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Commerce preliminarily determined that there were no shipments of merchandise subject to the Order from the following companies during the POR: (1) E N Corporation; (2) Enlin Steel Corporation; and (3) Vinox Corporation (a/k/a Vinoc Corporation).2 Given that the record evidence shows that there are no suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR from the three companies under review, Commerce did not calculate or otherwise determine any weightedaverage dumping margins; nor did Commerce revise the cash deposit rate for these three companies in the Preliminary Results. As we received no comments on the Preliminary Results, we are making no changes for these final results of review. Therefore, based on information obtained from CBP, we continue to find that during the POR there were no shipments of merchandise subject to the Order from the three companies under review. Nevertheless, as noted in the Preliminary Results, we forwarded an allegation to CBP from Core Pipe Products, Inc. and Taylor Forge Stainless Inc. (the petitioners), regarding certain entries during the POR that could have been misreported by one of the companies under review. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES Assessment Upon issuance of these final results, Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For any entries found to be associated with the three companies under review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction, consistent with Commerce’s reseller policy.3 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal 2 See Preliminary Results, 87 FR at 67015. 3 See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

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). Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all entries of SSBWF from the Philippines entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) if a companyspecific weighted-average dumping margin was previously established in a completed segment of this proceeding for any of the three companies listed above, then the cash deposit rate will continue to be equal to the companyspecific weighted-average dumping margin established for the company in the most recently completed segment (except, if the rate is de minimis, i.e., less than 0.5 percent, then the cash deposit rate will be zero percent); (2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this 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 that company in the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company was included; (3) if the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established in the most recently completed segment of the proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 33.81 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.4 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers 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 duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement presumption that reimbursement of 4 See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Stainless Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from the Philippines, 65 FR 81823 (December 27, 2000).
