Philippines Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on stainless steel butt-weld pipe fittings from the Philippines (A-565-801). The agency continued its preliminary finding that the three companies under review -- E N Corp.; Enlin Steel Corp.; and Vinox Corp. (aka Vinoc) -- had no exports of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period under review. As such, Commerce made no changes to cash deposit rates already in effect for the companies. Subject merchandise from E N, Enlin and Vinox will continue to enter at AD rates set in the most recent previous review, and any entries filed with their case numbers entered Feb. 1, 2021, through Jan. 31, 2022, will be liquidated at the all-others rate, currently 33.81%.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the three companies above), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 33.81% applies.
As in the preliminary results, Commerce noted that it forwarded an allegation to CBP from petitioners Core Pipe Products, Inc. and Taylor Forge Stainless Inc. regarding certain entries during the review period that could have been misreported by one of the companies under review.
(The review period is 02/01/21 - 01/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2211040021 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
