In response to a request from Allied Tube & Conduit Corporation, a domestic interested party, the Department of Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan.

This review covers one firm, Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co Limited, for the period May 1st 2007, through April 30th 2008. No interested party commented on the department's intent to rescind this review based upon its determination that the party subject to this review did not have entries of subject merchandise during the period of review on which to assess antidumping duties.

On January 21st 2009, the department published a notice of its intent to rescind this administrative review. The merchandise covered by the order is certain circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Taiwan, which are defined as welded carbon steel pipes and tubes, of circular cross section, with walls not thinner than 0.065 inch, and 0.375 inch or more but not over 4.5 inches in outside diameter, currently classified under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States item numbers 7306.30.5025, 7306.30.5032, 7306.30.5040, and 7306.30.5055. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

The department issued the Intent to Rescind because it was satisfied that there were no US entries of subject merchandise from the respondent, Yieh Hsing, during the POR as indicated by the record. See Intent to Rescind, 74 FR at 3560. As the Department received no comments on its intent to rescind this review, it continues to find that rescission of the review is appropriate. Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d), the department is rescinding this review.
