The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future.

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is rescinding the administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain cold-drawn mechanical tubing of carbon and alloy steel (cold-drawn mechanical tubing) from Switzerland covering the period of review (POR) June 1, 2024, though May 31, 2025. We are rescinding this administrative review with respect to Benteler Rothrist AG, Mubea Präzisionsstahlrohr, and Mubea Inc because the firms had no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR.
Applicable April 8, 2026.
Alexander Cipolla, AD/CVD Operations, Office III, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-4956.
On June 11, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the Order on cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Switzerland.[1] On June 3, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order for the POR.[2] On June 30, 2025, ArcelorMittal Tubular Products, Michigan Seamless Tube, LLC, PTC Alliance Corp., Webco Industries, Inc., and Zekelman Industries, Inc. (the petitioners) submitted timely requests that Commerce conduct an administrative review.[3] On July 25, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to imports of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from Switzerland in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[4]
On August 5, 2025, Commerce placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) entry data for the companies subject to the review.[5] On August 15, 2025, Benteler Rothrist AG filed a no shipments letter certifying that there were no shipments in accordance with the Initiation Notice.[6]
On September 19, 2025, Commerce issued a notice of intent to rescind the 2024-2025 administrative review with respect to Benteler Rothrist AG, Mubea Präzisionsstahlrohr AG, and Mubea Inc and invited interested parties to comment.[7] No party filed comments opposing the Notice of Intent to Rescind.
Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days.[8] Additionally, due to a backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an additional 21 days.[9] Accordingly, the deadline for the preliminary results of this review is now May 11, 2026.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for ( printed page 17788) which liquidation is suspended.[10] Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate for the review period.[11] Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the newly calculated AD assessment rate.
As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise for Benteler Rothrist AG, Mubea Präzisionsstahlrohr AG, and Mubea Inc during the POR.[12] Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in the United States, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register .
This notice serves as a final 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 the APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with regulations and terms of an APO is a violation, which is subject to sanction.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
