Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of 
Circumvention of the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily 
determines that imports of circular welded carbon quality steel pipe 
(CWP), completed in the Sultanate of Oman (Oman) using hot-rolled steel 
(HRS) produced in the People's Republic of China (China), are 
circumventing the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 
orders on CWP from China. Interested parties are invited to comment on 
this preliminary determination.

DATES: Applicable July 22, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    On July 22, 2008, Commerce published in the Federal Register the AD 
and CVD orders on CWP from China.\1\ On November 19, 2024, Commerce 
initiated a country-wide circumvention inquiry to determine whether 
certain imports of CWP completed in Oman using HRS produced in China 
are circumventing the Orders, and accordingly, should be covered by the 
scope of the Orders.\2\ On January 13, 2025, Commerce selected Al 
Jazeera Steel Products Company SAOG (formerly known as Al Jazeera Tube 
Mill Company SAOG) as the mandatory respondent in this circumvention 
inquiry.\3\ On March 18, 2025, Commerce extended the time limit for 
issuing the preliminary determination in this circumvention inquiry to 
July 17, 2025.\4\ For a complete description of the events that 
followed the initiation of this circumvention inquiry, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\5\

Merchandise Subject to the Circumvention Inquiry

    This circumvention inquiry covers CWP completed in Oman using 
Chinese-origin HRS and subsequently exported from Oman to the United 
States (inquiry merchandise).

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this circumvention inquiry in accordance 
with section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 
19 CFR 351.226. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is included in Appendix I of this notice. The Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically 
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Preliminary Circumvention Determination

    As detailed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, Commerce 
preliminarily determines that CWP completed in Oman using Chinese-
origin HRS and subsequently exported from Oman to the United States is 
circumventing the Orders on a country-wide basis. As a result, in 
accordance with section 781(b) of the Act, we

[[Page 34428]]

preliminarily determine that this merchandise is subject to the scope 
of the Orders. See the ``Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit 
Requirements'' section below for details regarding suspension of 
liquidation and cash deposit requirements. See the ``Certifications'' 
and ``Certification Requirements'' sections below for details regarding 
the use of certifications.

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposit Requirements

    Based on the preliminary affirmative country-wide determination of 
circumvention with respect to Oman, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.225(l)(2), Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and to 
require a cash deposit of estimated duties on unliquidated entries of 
inquiry merchandise that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption, on or after November 19, 2024, the date of publication of 
the initiation of this circumvention inquiry in the Federal Register.
    CWP completed in Oman from HRS that is not of Chinese origin is not 
subject to this inquiry. However, Commerce preliminarily finds that CWP 
completed in Oman using China-origin HRS is circumventing the AD and 
CVD orders on CWP from China. Imports of such merchandise are subject 
to certification requirements, and cash deposits may be required.
    Entries for which the importer and exporter have met the 
certification and documentation requirements described below and in 
Appendix II to this notice will not be subject to suspension of 
liquidation or the cash deposit requirements.
    Where the certification and documentation requirements are not met 
for an entry, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend the entry and 
collect cash deposits at the rates applicable to the AD and CVD orders 
on CWP from China. For companies with their own company-specific rate 
under the China Order, the cash deposit rate will be the company-
specific rate. Otherwise, Commerce will instruct CBP to require AD cash 
deposits equal to the China-wide rate of 85.55 percent and CVD cash 
deposits equal to 39.01 percent.
    Commerce established the following third-country case number in the 
Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for entries of CWP completed in 
Oman using China-origin HRS: A-523-910 and C-523-911.
    These suspension of liquidation requirements will remain in effect 
until further notice.

Certifications

    To administer the affirmative country-wide determination of 
circumvention for Oman, Commerce established importer and exporter 
certifications, which allow companies to certify that specific entries 
of CWP from Oman are not subject to suspension of liquidation or the 
collection of cash deposits pursuant to this preliminary affirmative 
country-wide determination of circumvention if the merchandise is not 
made with Chinese-origin HRS or is made with an input other than HRS 
(see Appendix II to this notice).
    Importers and exporters that claim that the entry of CWP is not 
subject to suspension of liquidation or the collection of cash deposits 
because the merchandise is not made with Chinese-origin HRS or is made 
with an input other than HRS must complete the applicable certification 
and meet the certification and documentation requirements described 
below, as well as the requirements identified in the applicable 
certification.

Certification Requirements

    Importers are required to complete and maintain the applicable 
importer certification, and maintain a copy of the applicable exporter 
certification, and retain all supporting documentation for both 
certifications. With the exception of the entries described below, the 
importer certification must be completed, signed, and dated by the time 
the entry summary is filed for the relevant entry.
    The importer, or the importer's agent, must submit the importer's 
certification, the exporter's certification, the commercial invoice, 
and the bill of lading to CBP at the time of entry summary by uploading 
these documents into the document imaging system (DIS) in ACE. Where 
the importer uses a broker to facilitate the entry process, the 
importer should obtain the entry summary number from the broker. Agents 
of the importer, such as brokers, however, are not permitted to certify 
on behalf of the importer. Consistent with CBP's procedures, importers 
shall identify certified entries by using importers' additional 
declaration (record 54) AD/CVD Certification Designation (type code 06) 
when filing entry summary.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Cargo System Messaging Service #59384253, dated February 
12, 2024; see also Announcing an Importer's Additional Declaration 
in the Automated Commercial Environment Specific to Antidumping/
Countervailing Duty Certifications, 89 FR 7372 (February 2, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Exporters are required to complete and maintain the applicable 
exporter certification and provide the importer with a copy of that 
certification and all supporting documentation (e.g., invoice, purchase 
order, production records, etc.). With the exception of the entries 
described below, the exporter certification must be completed, signed, 
and dated by the time of shipment of the relevant entries. The exporter 
certification should be completed by the party selling the CWP that was 
manufactured in Oman to the United States.
    Additionally, the claims made in the certifications and any 
supporting documentation are subject to verification by Commerce or 
CBP. Importers and exporters are required to maintain the 
certifications and supporting documentation until the later of: (1) the 
date that is five years after the latest entry date of the entries 
covered by the certification; or (2) the date that is three years after 
the conclusion of any litigation in United States courts regarding such 
entries.
    For all CWP from Oman that was entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption during the period November 19, 2024 (the 
date of initiation of this circumvention inquiry), through August 13, 
2025, where the entry has not been liquidated (and entries for which 
liquidation has not become final), the importer and exporter 
certifications should be completed and signed as soon as practicable, 
but not later than September 8, 2025. The importer/exporter 
certifications, commercial invoice, and bill of lading should be 
uploaded to the DIS in ACE as soon as practicable, but not later than 
September 8, 2025. For such entries, importers, and exporters each have 
the option to complete a blanket certification covering multiple 
entries, individual certifications for each entry, or a combination 
thereof. The exporter must provide the importer with a copy of the 
exporter certification no later than September 8, 2025.
    For unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not 
become final) of CWP that were declared as non-AD or non-CVD type 
entries (e.g., type 01) and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption in the United States during the period November 19, 2024 
(the date of initiation of these circumvention inquiries) through 
August 13, 2025, for which none of the above certifications may be 
made, importers must file a Post Summary Correction with CBP, in 
accordance with CBP's regulations, regarding conversion of such entries 
from non-AD or non-CVD type entries to AD or CVD type entries (e.g., 
type 01 to

[[Page 34429]]

type 03) as soon as practicable, but not later than September 8, 2025. 
Importers must report those AD or CVD-type entries using the third-
country case numbers identified in the ``Suspension of Liquidation and 
Cash Deposit Requirements'' section, above. The importer must pay cash 
deposits on those entries consistent with the regulations governing 
post summary corrections that require payment of additional duties.
    Interested parties may comment on the certification requirements 
and on the certification language contained in Appendix II to this 
notice in their case briefs.
