SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Sonha SSP Vietnam Sole Member Company Limited (Sonha SSP) and Vinlong Stainless Steel (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (Vinlong) sold subject merchandise to the United States at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. DATES: Applicable May 23, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AGENCY: Background On August 13, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of the 2022–2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order 1 on welded stainless steel pressure pipe (welded pressure pipe) from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) in the Federal Register and invited interested parties to comment.2 On December 3, 2024, Commerce fully extended the deadline for the final results of this administrative review until February 10, 2025.3 On December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by ninety days.4 For a summary of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, 1 See Welded Stainless Pressure Pipe from Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders, 79 FR 42289 (July 21, 2014) (Order). 2 See Welded Stainless Steel Pressure Pipe from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022–2023, 89 FR 65849 (August 13, 2024) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2022–2023’’ dated December 3, 2024. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings,’’ dated December 9, 2024 .

Scope of the Order 6 The merchandise covered by this Order is circular welded austenitic stainless pressure pipe, not greater than 14 inches in outside diameter, from Vietnam. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Vietnam-Wide Entity Under Commerce’s policy regarding the conditional review of the Vietnamwide entity,7 the Vietnam-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce selfinitiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review, and the entity’s rate (i.e., 16.25) is not subject to change.8 With the exception of Sonha SSP and Vinlong, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested and initiated but did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of the Vietnam-wide entity.9 Therefore, for these final results, we continue to consider Mejonson Industrial Vietnam Co., Ltd., to be part of the Vietnam-wide entity because it did not file a separate rate application or certification. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in an interested party’s case brief are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Changes Since the Preliminary Review Based on an analysis of the comments received, we made one change to the margin calculation from the Preliminary Results for Sonha SSP.10 Additionally, we have continued to find that the application of facts available with an adverse inference is warranted for Vinlong Stainless.11 Vietnam-Wide Entity Because no party requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity, and Commerce no longer considers the Vietnam-wide entity as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews,12 we did not conduct a review of the Vietnam-wide entity. Thus, the weighted-average dumping margin for the Vietnam-wide entity (i.e., 16.25 percent) 13 is not subject to change as a result of this review. Final Results of Review We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023: Weighted-average dumping margin (percent) Exporter Sonha SSP Vietnam Sole Member Company Limited/Sonha International Corporation 14 ....................................................... Vinlong Stainless Steel (Vietnam) Co., Ltd ................................................................................................................................. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final results of review to interested parties within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). For Sonha SSP which has a final weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of the sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the respondent did not report entered value, we will calculate importer-specific perunit duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping 10 See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 5. 11 Id. at 3–4. 12 See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:58 May 22, 2025 Jkt 265001 duties calculated for the examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. Pursuant to Commerce’s practice, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries from Vinlong at 144.59 percent. Pursuant to a refinement in our nonmarket economy practice, for sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by Sonha SSP or Vinlong, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for the Vietnam-wide entity. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Sonha SSP or Vinlong for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the Vietnam-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction. Cash Deposit Requirements The following deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for Sonha SSP and Vinlong Stainless the cash deposit rate will be the margin listed above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese exporters not listed above that have Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65969–70 (November 4, 2013). 13 See Order. 14 We are treating these companies as a single entity for purposes of this review. For a complete PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 144.59 144.59 separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for the Vietnam-wide entity (i.e., 16.25 percent); 15 and (4) for all nonVietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Vietnamese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary discussion, see Memorandum, ‘‘Affiliation and Collapsing of Sonha International and Sonha SSP Vietnam Sole Member Company Limited,’’ dated August 6, 2024. 15 See Order.

Welded Stainless Steel Pressure Pipe From the Socialist Republic 
of Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 
2022-2023

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that 
Sonha SSP Vietnam Sole Member Company Limited (Sonha SSP) and Vinlong 
Stainless Steel (Vietnam) Co., Ltd. (Vinlong) sold subject merchandise 
to the United States at less than normal value (NV) during the period 
of review (POR) July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023.

DATES: Applicable May 23, 2025.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luke Caruso and Stephanie Trejo, AD/
CVD Operations, Office IV, Enforcement and Compliance, International 
Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution 
Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-2081 and (202) 
482-4390, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 13, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of 
the 2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order \1\ 
on welded stainless steel pressure pipe (welded pressure pipe) from the 
Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) in the Federal Register and 
invited interested parties to comment.\2\ On December 3, 2024, Commerce 
fully extended the deadline for the final results of this 
administrative review until February 10, 2025.\3\ On December 9, 2024, 
Commerce tolled certain deadlines in this administrative proceeding by 
ninety days.\4\ For a summary of the events that occurred since the 
Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.\5\ 
Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with 
section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order 6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The merchandise covered by this Order is circular welded austenitic 
stainless pressure pipe, not greater than 14 inches in outside 
diameter, from Vietnam. For a full description of the scope of the 
Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Vietnam-Wide Entity

    Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the 
Vietnam-wide entity,\7\ the Vietnam-wide entity will not be under 
review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-
initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review 
of the Vietnam-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under 
review, and the entity's rate (i.e., 16.25) is not subject to 
change.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
    \8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With the exception of Sonha SSP and Vinlong, Commerce considers all 
other companies for which a review was requested and initiated but did 
not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of the Vietnam-
wide entity.\9\ Therefore, for these final results, we continue to 
consider Mejonson Industrial Vietnam Co., Ltd., to be part of the 
Vietnam-wide entity because it did not file a separate rate application 
or certification.

Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Changes Since the Preliminary Review

    Based on an analysis of the comments received, we made one change 
to the margin calculation from the Preliminary Results for Sonha 
SSP.\10\ Additionally, we have continued to find that the application 
of facts available with an adverse inference is warranted for Vinlong 
Stainless.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 5.
    \11\ Id. at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vietnam-Wide Entity

    Because no party requested a review of the Vietnam-wide entity, and 
Commerce no longer considers the Vietnam-wide entity as an exporter 
conditionally subject to administrative reviews,\12\ we did not conduct 
a review of the Vietnam-wide entity. Thus, the weighted-average dumping 
margin for the Vietnam-wide entity (i.e., 16.25 percent) \13\ is not 
subject to change as a result of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in 
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

4, 2013).
    \13\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

purposes of this review. For a complete discussion, see Memorandum, 
``Affiliation and Collapsing of Sonha International and Sonha SSP

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final 
results of review to interested parties within five days of the date of 
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 
no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final 
results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is 
filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment 
instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until 
the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has 
expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
    For Sonha SSP which has a final weighted-average dumping margin 
that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on 
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's 
examined sales and the total entered value of the sales, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where the respondent did not report entered 
value, we will calculate importer-specific per-unit duty assessment 
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties 
calculated for the examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. 
Where an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis (i.e., less 
than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated 
without regard to antidumping duties.
    Pursuant to Commerce's practice, we will instruct CBP to liquidate 
entries from Vinlong at 144.59 percent.
    Pursuant to a refinement in our non-market economy practice, for 
sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by Sonha 
SSP or Vinlong, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries associated 
with those sales at the rate for the Vietnam-wide entity. For entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Sonha SSP or Vinlong 
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United 
States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the 
Vietnam-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or 
companies involved in the transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for Sonha SSP and 
Vinlong Stainless the cash deposit rate will be the margin listed 
above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-
Vietnamese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate 
published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in 
which they were reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject 
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, 
the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping 
margin for the Vietnam-wide entity (i.e., 16.25 percent); \15\ and (4) 
for all non-Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not 
received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporter(s) that supplied that non-
Vietnamese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary

351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return or destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties
