Turkey Circular Welded Pipe: Prelim Results of CV Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its countervailing duty administrative review on circular welded carbon steel pipe and tube products from Turkey (C-489-502). The agency preliminarily calculated zero-percent "de minimis" CV duty rates for Borusan and Erbosan. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, circular welded pipe from these companies entered between January 2012 and December 2012 will not be assessed CV duties, and future entries from these companies will not be subject to an CV cash deposit requirement until further notice.

Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These CV rates are only preliminary, and do not change current CV duty rates. Commerce may still change its calculations when it issues the final results of this administrative review. For now, the most recent final CV rate calculated for each Turkish company is still applicable. If no final CV duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in August.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new CV duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register.

|---|---|
| Borusan Mannesmann Boru Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S., and Borusan Istikbal Ticaret T.A.S. | zero |

Assessment Rates
If Commerce continues to calculate zero CV duty rates for Borusan and Erbosan in the final results of its administrative review, the agency will not assess CV duties on importers for entries of subject merchandise from these two companies entered between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012. Subject merchandise from Toscelik entered between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2012 would be liquidated at 0.83% if Commerce makes no changes.
(The period of review is 01/01/12 -- 12/31/12. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
