Revocation of antidumping duty order on Oil Country Tubular Goods from Taiwan (A-583-850)

1. Commerce has revoked the antidumping duty order on certain oil country tubular goods from Taiwan (A-583-850), but is instructing U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue the suspension of liquidation of entries of oil country tubular goods at a 0.00 percent cash deposit rate as specified below. 2. Commerce revoked the antidumping duty order on certain oil country tubular goods from Taiwan as a result of the United States Court of International Trade's (CIT) final judgment in Tension Steel Industries Co., Ltd., v. United States, CIT No. 14-00218, Slip Op. 17-84 (July 12, 2017) (Tension Steel). This revocation was published in the Federal Register on 07/28/2017, 82 FR 35181. 3. The effective date of the revocation is 07/22/2017, which is ten days after the CIT's decision, in accordance with section 516A of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. 4. Accordingly, CBP is directed to continue suspension of liquidation (for the reasons described in paragraph 5 below) but release any bond or other security and refund any cash deposits paid on subject merchandise from Taiwan which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 09/05/2014, that remain unliquidated and/or were not deemed liquidated as of 07/22/2017. 5. In accordance with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F .2d 337, 341 (Fed. Cir . 1990), CBP is directed to continue to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from Taiwan which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 09/05/2014 that remain unliquidated and/or were not deemed liquidated as of 07/22/2017, at a zero cash deposit rate during the pendency of the appeal process. In the event that the CIT's final judgment in Tension Steel is not appealed, or if appealed and upheld by the Federal Circuit, Commerce will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate those entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties. If the CIT's final judgment is appealed and not upheld, Commerce will issue liquidation instructions when appropriate. 6.
