Japan Large Diameter Seamless Pipe: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on large diameter carbon and alloy seamless standard, line, and pressure pipe (over 4 1/2 inches) from Japan (A-588-850). The agency continued to find that JFE Steel, Nippon Steel, NKK Tubes, and Sumitomo Metal Industries did not ship subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. Their AD cash deposit rates will remain at levels set in previous administrative reviews. Commerce also found that Canadian Natural Resources Limited did not sell the merchandise it imported in the U.S., but rather exported it back to Canada. As such, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate CNRL's entries during the period of review without regard to AD duties.
