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 another company not selected for individual review, Emek Boru Makine Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from HDM Celik and Emek Boru entered between May 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024, won't be assessed AD, and future entries from HDM Celik and Emek Boru wouldn't be subject to an AD cash deposit requirement until further notice.

The rate for HDM Celik also applies to HDM Spiral Kaynakli Celik Boru A.S., the English name of which is HDM Spirally Welded Steel Pipe Inc.

Petitioner American Line Pipe Producers Association Trade Committee withdrew its request for review of Noksel Celik Boru Sanayi A.S.; Toscelik Profil ve Sac End. A.S. (English name is Toscelik Profile and Sheet Ind. Co.); and Toscelik Spiral Boru Uretim A.S. (Toscelik Spiral), so the review was rescinded for those companies by Commerce.

Additionally, Commerce said that seven companies didn't have any reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the period of review, and so it's rescinding the review for those companies as well. The seven companies are: Cagil Makina San ve Tic A.S. AKA Cagil Makina A.S.; Cimtas Boru Imalatiral Ticaret Ltd.; Erciyas Celik Boru Sanayi A.S. (Erciyas); Mazlum Mangtay Boru Son. Ins. Tar. Urn. San. ve Tic. A.S.; Ozbal Celik Boru San. Tic. Ve TAAH A.S.; Spirally Welded Steel Pipe Inc.; and Umran Celik Boru Sanayii A.S.

If these findings are confirmed in the final results, cash deposit rates for the companies for which the review is rescinded would not change, and any entries under their case numbers would be liquidated at the all-others rate, i.e., 1.57%.

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 # 4225413).

(The period of review is 05/01/23 - 04/30/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
