India Standard Pipe and Tube: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is amending the final results of an antidumping duty administrative review on welded carbon steel standard pipes and tubes (pipe and tube) from India (A-533-502) to align the dumping margin assigned to Garg Tube Export LLP and Garg Tube Limited (collectively, Garg Tube) with results of a court case challenging those final results.

In the final results of that review, covering the period May 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018, Commerce had assigned Garg Tube a 11.83% dumping margin. The amendment reflects a change in calculation method and results in Garg Tube receiving a dumping margin of zero, aligning Commerce's results with those determined in the court case, but the change will not affect the current cash deposit rate, 13.9%, assigned in the most recent final results (see 2103180020). The change is applicable Nov. 3.
The notice also said that Commerce remains, at this time, enjoined by court order from liquidating entries that: "were produced and/or exported by Garg Tube and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period May 1, 2017, through April 30, 2018. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process."
Commerce said that because Garg Tube’s assessment rate is zero, "we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties."
(The review period is 05/01/17 - 04/30/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2001150061 for a summary of the original final results of this administrative review.)
