SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 27, 2026, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
the
Preliminary Results
of this administrative review of the
Order[1]
on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes (CWP) from Thailand and invited interested parties to comment.[2]
This review covers the sole mandatory respondent, Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd., also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Saha Thai), and Thai Premium Pipe Co., Ltd (TPP), which was not selected for individual examination. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
A summary of the events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results,
and a discussion of the issue raised by an interested party for the final results, are discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[3]

access.trade.gov.
In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed at

The products covered by the
Order

Order
is contained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[4]
Analysis of Comments Received
The single issue raised in the case brief filed by an interested party in this administrative review is addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum and listed in the appendix to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comment received regarding our
Preliminary Results,
as explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made a change in these final results.
Rate for the Non-Selected Company Under Review
As mentioned above, TTP had reviewable entries but was not selected as a mandatory respondent. The Act does not address the establishment of a rate to apply to companies not selected for individual examination in an administrative review that is conducted pursuant to section 751(a) of the Act. However, Commerce's regulations at 19 CFR 351.109(g) state that Commerce will determine the rate for non-selected companies by following the process set forth in 19 CFR 351.109(f)(1)-(2), which generally parallels the process for determining the all-others rate in an investigation under section 705(c)(5) of the Act. Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.109(f) state that for companies not investigated, in general, we will determine an all-others rate by weight averaging the weighted-average dumping margins established for each of the companies individually investigated, excluding zero and
de minimis
rates or any rates based entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent for the sole mandatory respondent Saha Thai. Consistent with the court's decision in
Albemarle,[5]
and Commerce's practice,[6]
we assigned the sole non-examined company under review, TPP, a weighted-average dumping margin of zero, based on the rate calculated for Saha Thai, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period March 1, 2024, through February 28, 2025:
Exporter or producer
Weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Co., Ltd. (also known as Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd.)
0.00
Thai Premium Pipe Co. Ltd
0.00
( printed page 56133)
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final results within five days of a public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the
Federal Register
, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is either zero or
de minimis
(
i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. Accordingly, because Saha Thai's and TPP's weighted-average dumping margin is zero percent, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Saha Thai, for which it did not know that 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. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these 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 in the
Federal Register
of the notice of final results of administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for Saha Thai and TPP will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this administrative review (
i.e.,
0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 15.67 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.[7]
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 the 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.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
