Turkey Large Diameter Welded Pipe: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on large diameter welded pipe from Turkey (A-489-833), calculating a zero percent AD rate for HDM Celik Boru Sanayi Ve Ticaret A.S., the one mandatory respondent, and applying that rate to two other companies not selected for individual review. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from HDM Celik and the other two companies entered between May 1, 2022, and April 30, 2023, will not be assessed AD duties, and future entries from HDM Celik and the two companies would not be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice.

The two companies receiving a zero rate in addition to HDM Celik are: Cimtas Boru Imalatlari ve Ticaret, Ltd. and Emek Boru Makine Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.

Additionally, Commerce said that nine companies (see Appendix II of the notice for the full list) didn't have any shipments of subject merchandise during the period of review, and so is rescinding the review for those companies. If this finding is confirmed in the final results, cash deposit rates for these companies would not change, and any entries under their case numbers would be liquidated at the all-others rate.

Commerce already has ordered liquidation as entered, at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry, for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 3228411).

(The period of review is 05/01/22 - 04/30/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
