Scope of the Order

    The merchandise subject to this order is certain welded carbon 
quality light-walled steel pipe and tube, of rectangular (including 
square) cross section, having a wall thickness of less than 4 mm. The 
term carbon-quality steel includes both carbon steel and alloy steel 
which contains only small amounts of alloying elements. Specifically, 
the term carbon-quality includes products in which none of the elements 
listed below exceeds the quantity by weight respectively indicated: 
1.80 percent of manganese, or 2.25 percent of silicon, or 1.00 percent 
of copper, or 0.50 percent of aluminum, or 1.25 percent of chromium, or 
0.30 percent of cobalt, or 0.40 percent of lead, or 1.25 percent of 
nickel, or 0.30 percent of tungsten, or 0.10 percent of molybdenum, or 
0.10 percent of niobium, or 0.15 percent vanadium, or 0.15 percent of 
zirconium. The description of carbon-quality is intended to identify 
carbon-quality products within the scope. The welded carbon-quality 
rectangular pipe and tube subject to this order is currently classified 
under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 
subheadings 7306.61.50.00 and 7306.61.70.60. While HTSUS subheadings 
are provided for convenience and Customs purposes, our written 
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Antidumping Duty Order

    On May 23, 2008, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), the ITC notified the Department of 
its final determination pursuant to section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act 
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason 
of less-than-fair-value imports of light-walled rectangular pipe and 
tube from Turkey.
    Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, the 
Department will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess, upon further instruction by the Department, antidumping duties 
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise 
exceeds the export price (or the constructed export price) of the 
merchandise for all relevant entries of light-walled rectangular pipe 
and tube from Turkey. These antidumping duties will be assessed on all 
entries of light-walled rectangular pipe and tube from Turkey entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 30, 
2008, the date on which the Department published its notice of 
preliminary determinations in the Federal Register. See Notice of 
Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Light-
Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube From Turkey, 73 FR 5508 (January 30, 
2008).
    CBP officers must require, at the same time as importers would 
normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit 
equal to the estimated weighted-average antidumping duty margins as 
noted below. The all-others rate applies to all manufacturers and 
exporters of subject merchandise not specifically listed.
    The weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:
