Turkey Heavy Rectangular Pipe: Final Results of CV Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of its countervailing duty administrative review on heavy-walled rectangular welded pipes and tubes from Turkey (C-489-825). Commerce found the only company under review, Ozdemir Boru Profil San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti, received de minimis illegal subsidies during the period of review, assigning it a zero percent CV duty rate. Subject merchandise from Ozdemir entered Jan. 1, 2019, through Dec. 31, 2019, will be liquidated without any assessment of CV duties, and future entries of subject merchandise from Ozdemir will not be subject to CV duty cash deposit requirements until further notice. Changes to cash deposit rates from these final results take effect Feb. 1, the date these final results are set for publication in the Federal Register.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except Ozdemir), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own CV rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate applies.

(The review period is 01/01/19 - 12/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2110040041 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
