The ITA is amending the final results to correct a ministerial error in its calculation of the final weighted-average dumping margin for Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd.
Amended Final Results of Review
As a result of correcting the ministerial error, the ITA has determined that the following amended margin exists for the period of review:
| Company | Amended weighted average margin |
| Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd | 1.76% (from 2.13%) |
Amended Estimated AD Cash Deposits Requirements
The following amended estimated AD duty deposit requirements are effective for all shipments of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after November 29, 2010:
- For the company covered by this review, the cash deposit rate will be the rate listed above;
- For merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in the most recent final results in which that producer or exporter participated;
- If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be that established for the producer of the merchandise in these final results of review or in the most recent final results in which that producer participated; and
- If neither the exporter nor the producer is a firm covered in this review or in any previous segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be 15.67 percent, the all-others rate established in the less than fair value investigation.
Assessment Rates
The ITA will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall assess, AD duties on all appropriate entries. The ITA has calculated an assessment rate for each importer of the subject merchandise, and will issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP within 15 days after November 29, 2010.
The ITA adds that it clarified its "automatic assessment" regulation on May 6, 2003, which will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the period of review produced by the company included in these amended final results of review for which the reviewed company did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S. In such instances, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate from the investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company involved in the transaction.
