    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background

    On November 2, 1992, Commerce published in the Federal Register an AD order on CWP from Korea.[1] On August 4, 2022, Commerce initiated a country-wide circumvention inquiry to determine whether certain imports of CWP completed in Vietnam using HRS produced in Korea are circumventing the Order.[2] On August 30, 2022, Commerce selected, in alphabetical order, SeAH Steel VINA Corporation (SeAH VINA) and Vietnam Haiphong Hongyuan Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Vietnam Haiphong) as the mandatory respondents in this circumvention inquiry.[3]

    On December 9, 2022, Commerce extended the time limit for issuing the preliminary determination in this circumvention inquiry from January 3 to March 31, 2023.[4] On March 31, 2023, Commerce extended the time limit for issuing the preliminary determination in this circumvention inquiry from March 31 to April 6, 2023.[5] For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this circumvention inquiry, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[6]

    Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order include certain welded carbon steel standard CWP with an outside diameter of 0.375 inch or more but not over 16 inches. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.[7]

    Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiry

    This circumvention inquiry covers CWP completed in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS and subsequently exported from Vietnam to the United States (inquiry merchandise).

    Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this circumvention inquiry in accordance with section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.226. For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this circumvention inquiry, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included in Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/​public/​FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

    Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    On October 7, 2022 and January 9, 2023, Vietnam Haiphong timely filed responses to Commerce's initial and supplemental questionnaires, in which Vietnam Haiphong reported that it did not sell or export the merchandise covered by the circumvention inquiry to the United States during the period of inquiry, January 1, 2017, through December 31, 2021.[8] Based on the supporting information provided by Vietnam Haiphong,[9] we preliminarily determine that Vietnam Haiphong had no shipments of inquiry merchandise to the United States during the period of inquiry.

    Preliminary Circumvention Determination

    As detailed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce preliminarily determines that CWP completed in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS and subsequently exported from Vietnam to the United States is circumventing the Order on a country-wide basis. As a result, in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act, we preliminarily determine that this inquiry merchandise should be included within the scope of the Order. See the “Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements” section, below, for details regarding suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements. See the “Certifications” and “Certification Requirements for Vietnam” sections, below, for details regarding the use of certifications.

    Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements

    Based on the preliminary affirmative country-wide determination of circumvention for Korea, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(2), we will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to suspend liquidation and require a cash deposit of estimated duties on unliquidated entries of CWP completed in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 4, 2022, the date of publication of the initiation of this circumvention inquiry in the Federal Register .

    CWP produced in Vietnam from HRS that is not of Korean origin is not subject to this inquiry. Therefore, cash deposits are not required for such merchandise under the Korea Order. However, Commerce preliminarily finds that CWP completed in Vietnam using the People's Republic of China (China)-origin HRS is circumventing the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on CWP from China, and certain welded carbon steel standard pipes and Tubes (pipe and tube) from India completed in Vietnam using India-origin HRS is circumventing the AD order on pipe and tube from India.[10] Imports of such Start Printed Page 21991 merchandise are subject to certification requirements, and cash deposits may be required.

    If an importer imports CWP from Vietnam and claims that the CWP was not produced from Korea-origin HRS, in order to not be subject to the Korea Order cash deposit requirements, the importer and exporter are required to meet the certification and documentation requirements described in the “Certifications” and “Certification Requirements for Vietnam” sections, below.

    Where no certification is provided for an entry, and AD/CVD orders from three countries (China, India or Korea) potentially apply to that entry, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend the entry and collect cash deposits at the rates applicable to the AD and CVD orders on CWP from China ( i.e., the AD rate established for the China-wide entity (85.55 percent) and the CVD rate established for all-others (39.01 percent) under the following third country case numbers: A–552–009–000 and C–552–009–000.[11] This is to prevent evasion, given that the AD/CVD rates established for CWP from China are higher than the AD rates established for pipe and tube from India and CWP from Korea.

    Where a certification is provided for the AD/CVD orders on CWP from China (stating that the merchandise was not produced using China-origin HRS), but no other certification is provided, then Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend the entry and collect cash deposits at the rate applicable to the AD order on pipe and tube from India ( i.e., the AD rate established for all-others (7.08 percent)) under the following third country case number: A–552–012–000.[12] This is to prevent evasion, given that the AD rate established for pipe and tube from India is higher than the AD rate established for CWP from Korea.

    To enter inquiry merchandise (CWP produced in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS) parties must provide certifications for the AD/CVD orders on CWP from China (stating that the merchandise was not produced using China-origin HRS) and for the AD order on pipe and tube from India (stating that the merchandise was not produced using India-origin HRS). Commerce established the following third country case number in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for entries of CWP produced in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS: A–552–011–000. Commerce also established the following company-specific third-country case number for SeAH Vina, for which Commerce made an affirmative determination of circumvention, for entries of CWP produced in Vietnam using Korea-origin HRS: A–552–011–001. The cash deposit rate will be the Korea AD all-others rate ( i.e., 4.80 percent).[13]

    These suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice.

    Certified Entries

    Entries for which the importer and exporter have met the certification requirements described below and in Appendix II to this notice will not be subject to suspension of liquidation, or the cash deposit requirements described above. Failure to comply with the applicable requisite certification requirements may result in the merchandise being subject to duties.

    Certifications

    To administer the preliminary country-wide affirmative determination of circumvention for Vietnam, Commerce established importer and exporter certifications, which allow companies to certify that specific entries of CWP from Vietnam are not subject to suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits pursuant to this preliminary country-wide affirmative determination of circumvention because the merchandise is not made with Korea-origin HRS ( see Appendix II to this notice).

    Importers and exporters that claim that the entry of CWP is not subject to suspension of liquidation, or the collection of cash deposits based on the merchandise not being made with Korea-origin HRS, must complete the applicable certification and meet the certification and documentation requirements described below, as well as the requirements identified in the applicable certification.

    Certification Requirements for Vietnam

    Importers are required to complete and maintain the applicable importer certification, and maintain a copy of the applicable exporter certification, and retain all supporting documentation for both certifications. With the exception of the entries described below, the importer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry. The importer, or the importer's agent, must submit both the importer's certification and the exporter's certification to CBP as part of the entry process by uploading them into the document imaging system (DIS) in ACE. Where the importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry process, the importer should obtain the entry summary number from the broker. Agents of the importer, such as brokers, however, are not permitted to certify on behalf of the importer.

    Exporters are required to complete and maintain the applicable exporter certification and provide the importer with a copy of that certification and all supporting documentation ( e.g., invoice, purchase order, production records, etc.). With the exception of the entries described below, the exporter certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time of shipment of the relevant entries. The exporter certification should be completed by the party selling the CWP that was manufactured in Vietnam to the United States.

    Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and any supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce and/or CBP. Importers and exporters are required to maintain the certifications and supporting documentation until the later of: (1) the date that is five years after the latest entry date of the entries covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three years after the conclusion of any litigation in United States courts regarding such entries.

    For all CWP from Vietnam that was entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period August 4, 2022 (the date of initiation of this circumvention inquiry), through the date of publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register , where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which liquidation has not become final), the relevant certification should be completed and signed as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 days after the date of publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal Register . For such entries, importers and exporters each have the option to complete a blanket certification covering multiple entries, individual certifications for each entry, or a combination thereof. The exporter must provide the importer with a copy of the exporter certification within 45 days of Start Printed Page 21992 the date of publication of this preliminary determination in the Federal Register .

    For unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not become final) of CWP that were declared as non-AD type entries ( e.g., type 01) and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption in the United States during the period August 4, 2022 (the date of initiation of these circumvention inquiries), through the date of publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register , for which none of the above certifications may be made, importers must file a Post Summary Correction with CBP, in accordance with CBP's regulations, regarding conversion of such entries from non-AD type entries to AD type entries ( e.g., type 01 to type 03). Importers should report those AD type entries using the third country cases numbers identified in the “Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements” section above. The importer should pay cash deposits on those entries consistent with the regulations governing post summary corrections that require payment of additional duties.

    If it is determined that an importer and/or exporter has not met the certification and/or related documentation requirements for certain entries, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend, pursuant to this preliminary country-wide affirmative determination of circumvention and the Order,[14] all unliquidated entries for which these requirements were not met and require the importer to post applicable cash deposits equal to the rates noted above.

    Interested parties may comment on these certification requirements, and on the certification language contained in Appendix II to this notice in their case briefs.

    Verification

    As provided in 19 CFR 351.307, Commerce may verify information relied upon in making its final determination.

    Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments should be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than seven days after the date on which the last verification report is issued. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline for case briefs.[15] Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.[16]

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined.

    All submissions should be filed electronically via ACCESS.[17] Alternative arrangements for manual filings must be made by contacting the official in charge at least 72 hours before the deadline. Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.[18]

    U.S. International Trade Commission Notification

    Commerce, consistent with section 781(e) of the Act, will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of this preliminary determination to include the merchandise subject to this circumvention inquiry within the Order. Pursuant to section 781(e) of the Act, the ITC may request consultations concerning Commerce's proposed inclusion of the inquiry merchandise. If, after consultations, the ITC believes that a significant injury issue is presented by the proposed inclusion, it will have 60 days from the date of notification by Commerce to provide written advice.

    Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with section 781(b) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.226(g)(1).
