SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The review covers one producer/exporter of the subject merchandise, 
Golden Dragon. On August 10, 2015, the Department published in the 
Federal Register the preliminary results of administrative review of 
the antidumping duty order on seamless refined copper pipe and tube 
from Mexico.
    We invited parties to comment on the preliminary results of the 
review. No interested party submitted comments. The Department 
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to the order \3\ is seamless refined copper 
pipe and tube. The product is currently classified under the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7407.10.1500, 
7419.99.5050, 8415.90.8065, and 8415.90.8085. Although the HTSUS 
numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written 
product description, available in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum,\4\ remains dispositive.

    \4\ See Preliminary Results, and accompanying Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of the Review

    We determine that a weighted-average dumping margin of 0.00 percent 
exists for entries of subject merchandise that were produced and/or 
exported by GD Affiliates S. de R.L. de C.V. and that entered, or were 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the POR.

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries. Pursuant to the Final Modification for Reviews,\5\ because the 
weighted-average dumping margins for Golden Dragon is zero, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\6\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) 
(Final Modification for Reviews).
    \6\ Id. at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by 
Golden Dragon for which it did not know its merchandise was destined 
for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed 
entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\7\

Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 41 
days after the date of publication of these final results of review, 
pursuant to 19 CFR 356.8(a).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of these final results for all shipments of

from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as

company-specific rate published for the most recently completed 
segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a 
prior review, or the original investigation but the manufacturer is,

Notification to Importers

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 the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) 
of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of

proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation subject to sanction.
