1. On 02/25/2014, Commerce published in the Federal Register (79 FR 10493) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value, critical circumstances and postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of oil country tubular goods from India.

2. The products covered by this investigation are described in message 3212302, dated 07/31/2013.

3. This investigation has been assigned investigation number A-533-857.

4. Because Commerce determined that critical circumstances exist for imports of oil country tubular goods from India from the producer and/or exporter listed below, CBP shall suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of oil country tubular goods from India that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/27/2013 which is 90 days before the date of publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register. Effective 11/27/2013, for entries of oil country tubular goods from India from the producer and/or exporter listed below, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margin:

Producer and/or Exporter: Jindal SAW Ltd.
Case number: A-533-857-002
Cash deposit rate: 55.29%

5. Commerce found that critical circumstances do not exist for imports of oil country tubular goods from India from the producers and/or exporters listed below. For imports of oil country tubular goods from India from the producers and/or exporters listed below CBP shall suspend liquidation of such entries which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/25/2014. Effective 02/25/2014, for entries of oil country tubular goods from India from the producers and/or exporters listed below, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins:

All Others
Case number: A-533-857-000
Cash deposit rate: 55.29%

6. Commerce found that a de minimis margin of 0.00 percent exists for imports of oil country tubular goods from India that were produced and/or exported by GVN Fuels Limited (A-533-857-001). Therefore, CBP shall not suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/25/2014.

7. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply:

A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit will be the producer's rate.

B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 55.29 percent to establish the cash deposit.

8. Because of the companion countervailing duty investigation, Commerce has reduced the amount of antidumping duty deposit rate for Jindal SAW Ltd. and all other producers and exporters by the amount of the export subsidies found, resulting in an antidumping duty deposit of 55.29 percent. This offset shall remain in effect until 06/20/2014. After that date the full amount of the antidumping duty deposit shall be required. i.e., 56.07 percent.
