Thailand Circular Welded Pipe: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand (A-549-502) (here). Commerce determined Saha Thai Steel Pipe (Public) Company, Ltd. did not undersell subject merchandise during the period of review, assigning the company a zero percent AD duty rate. Subject merchandise from Saha Thai entered between March 1, 2012 and Feb. 28, 2013 will be liquidated without any assessment of AD duties, and future entries of circular welded pipe exported by Saha Thai will not be subject to AD duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. The new AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect Oct. 28.

Commerce also found Pacific Pipe Company Limited did not have any shipments to the U.S. during the period of review, so the company's AD duty rate is unchanged. Additionally, for any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all Thai companies except Saha Thai), cash deposit rates will also remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all others rate of 15.67% applies.
(The review period is 03/01/12 -- 02/28/13. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 14042323 for summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
