The product covered by the scope of the *Order* is CWP from Korea. For a complete description of the scope of the *Order, see* the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
**Analysis of Comments Received**
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs submitted by interested parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice as Appendix I.
**Changes Since the Preliminary Results**
Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our *Preliminary Results,* we made certain changes to Hyundai Steel Company's (Hyundai Steel) and Husteel Co., Ltd.'s (Husteel) preliminary weighted-average dumping margin calculations. For a discussion of these changes, *see* the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
**Rate for Non-Selected Companies**
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted average dumping margin for respondents that were not individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that the all-others rate should be calculated by weight averaging the weighted-average dumping margins determined for individually examined respondents, excluding rates that are zero, *de minimis,* or based entirely on facts available. We calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of zero for Hyundai Steel. Therefore, we have assigned the dumping rate calculated for Husteel to the companies not selected for individual examination in this review. *See* Appendix II.
**Final Results of Administrative Review**
We determine that the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period November 1, 2022, through October 31, 2023:
| Producer or exporter | Weighted- |
| --- | --- |
| Husteel Co., Ltd | 1.23 |
| Hyundai Steel Company | 0.00 |
| Review-Specific Rate for Non-Examined Companies | 1.23 |
**Disclosure**
[^7]*See Circular Welded Non-Alloy Steel Pipe from the Republic of Korea; Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the Republic of Korea; Welded Line Pipe from the Republic of Korea; and Large Diameter Welded Pipe from the Republic of Korea: Notice of Final Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Reviews,* 89 FR 89962 (November 14, 2024) for information pertaining to the status of Hyundai Steel's successor-in-interest. Following the completion of these final results, the cash deposit rate applicable to Hyundai Steel will be applicable to Hyundai Steel's successor-in-interest, Hyundai Steel Pipe Co., Ltd.
[^8]*See* Appendix II.
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations and analysis performed in connection with the final results of this administrative review to interested parties within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the publication date of this notice in the *Federal Register* , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
**Assessment Rates**
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (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). [^9]
[^9]*See* 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Husteel is not zero or *de minimis* ( *i.e.,* less than 0.5 percent), we calculated importer-specific *ad valorem* assessment rate based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales for each importer to the total entered value of the same sales. Where an importer-specific *ad valorem* assessment rate is zero or *de minimis,* or a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or *de minimis,* Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Husteel or Hyundai Steel for which they did not know that the merchandise was destined to the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate of 4.80 percent, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.

**Cash Deposit Requirements**
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review in the *Federal Register* , as provided for by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be the rates established in these final results of the review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 4.80 percent, the all-others rate established in the investigation. [^11] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^11]*See Order.*
**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 this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)**
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: September 8, 2025.
