Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of xanthan gum from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication of the notice of the final
results of this administrative review in
the Federal Register, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for
companies granted a separate rate in the
final results of this review, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review for the company (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then a cash
deposit rate of zero will be required); (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
China and non-China exporters not
listed above that received a separate rate
in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for
all China exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate for the
China-wide entity, which is 154.07
percent; and (4) for all non-China

dumping margin for Interpipe (i.e., the
sole individually-examined respondent
in this review) is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rates for the
merchandise based on the ratio of the
total amount of dumping calculated for
the examined sales made during the
POR to each importer and the total
entered value of those same sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Where an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results of the review, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.15 If Interpipe’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of the review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any
of its entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin
of dumping for the exporter is
determined to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 16
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Interpipe for
which the producer did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate those entries at the all-others
rate (i.e., 7.47 percent) 17 if there is no
rate for the intermediate company (or
companies) involved in the
transaction.18
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this

date of the final results of this

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Interpipe will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative 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 previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for
the most recently completed segment of
this proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or in the less-than-fair-value
investigation (LTFV) but the producer
is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be the all-others rate of 7.47 percent, the
rate established in the LTFV
investigation of this proceeding.19 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 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)(2) and

casing and tubing, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel (both carbon
and alloy), whether seamless or welded, regardless of end finish (e.g.,
whether or not plain end, threaded, or threaded and coupled) whether or
not conforming to American Petroleum Institute (API) or non-API
specifications, whether finished (including limited service OCTG
products) or unfinished (including green tubes and limited service OCTG
products), whether or not thread protectors are attached. The scope of
the Order also covers OCTG coupling stock. For a full description of
the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act, unless extended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\14\ If the weighted-average dumping margin for Interpipe (i.e.,
the sole individually-examined respondent in this review) is not zero
or de minimis (i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates for the merchandise based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales made during the POR
to each importer and the total entered value of those same sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final results of
the review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\15\ If Interpipe's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of
the review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its
entries in accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
``{w{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter
is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties will be
assessed.'' \16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\16\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Interpipe
for which the producer did not know its merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at
the all-others rate (i.e., 7.47 percent) \17\ if there is no rate for
the intermediate company (or companies) involved in the
transaction.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
\18\ 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or
[[Page 51291]]
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
Interpipe will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative 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 previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the company-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding in which the company participated; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or
in the less-than-fair-value investigation (LTFV) but the producer is,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 7.47 percent, the
rate established in the LTFV investigation of this proceeding.\19\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Order, 84 FR at 33919.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 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)(2) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 28, 2023.
