notice of expedited preliminary results, determining that Perfiles is 
the successor-in-interest to Perfiles y Herrajes.\1\ In the Initiation 
and Expedited Preliminary Results, interested parties were provided an

Perfiles y Herrajes. We received no comments from interested parties 
nor was a public hearing requested.

Initiation and Expedited Preliminary Results of Changed 
Circumstances Review, 82 FR 54322 (November 17, 2017) (Initiation 
and Expedited Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 this order is dispositive.

Final Results of the Changed Circumstances Review

    For the reasons stated in the Initiation and Expedited Preliminary 
Results, and because we received no comments from interested parties, 
Commerce continues to find that Perfiles is the successor-in-interest 
to Perfiles y Herrajes. As a result of this determination, we find that 
Perfiles should receive the antidumping cash deposit rate applicable to 
Perfiles y Herrajes. Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of 
subject merchandise produced or exported by Perfiles and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at 0.00 percent, which is 
the current antidumping duty cash-deposit rate for Perfiles y 
Herrajes.\2\ This cash deposit requirement shall remain in effect until 
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Perfiles y Herrajes was assigned a 0.00 percent margin in 
the 2013-2014 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on 
LWRPT from Mexico. See Light-Walled Rectangular Pipe and Tube from 
Mexico: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 
2013-2014; 80 FR 69941 (November 12, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We are issuing this determination and publishing these final 
results and notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1) 
and (2) of the Act, as amended, and 19 CFR 351.216 and 351.221(c)(3).
