Preliminary Determination of No Shipments Commerce selected Blue Pipe as a mandatory respondent because it and Saha Thai accounted for the largest volume of subject merchandise during the POR. Blue Pipe reported that its supplier, Saha Thai, had knowledge of the final destination of the subject merchandise that they produced and sold to Blue Pipe, and which Blue Pipe resold to U.S. customers during the POR, which Saha Thai confirmed in its responses.8 Blue Pipe and Saha Thai provided sales documentation as evidence in support of their claim.9
Because the evidence on the record demonstrates that Saha Thai had knowledge that the final destination of the subject merchandise was to customers in the United States, we preliminarily determine that Blue Pipe had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. We intend to instruct CBP at the final results to liquidate any existing entries of merchandise produced by Saha Thai and entered into the United States as having been exported by Blue Pipe at the rate applicable to Saha Thai.10
Based on an analysis of U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP
information, and comments provided by interested parties regarding the CBP
data, Commerce preliminarily determines that K-Line had no shipments during the POR. For additional information regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Rate for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerces regulations do not address the establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be applied to companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777Ac2 of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735c5 of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in a less-than-fair-value investigation, for guidance when calculating the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which were not selected for individual examination in an administrative review. Under section 735c5A of the Act, the all-others rate is normally an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding rates that are zero, de minimis i.e., less than 0.5 percent or determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
