Scope of the Investigation
All-Others Rate
The products covered by this investigation are seamless pipe from Korea. For a complete description of the scope of this investigation, see Appendix I.

Sections 733d1ii and 735c5A
of the Act provide that, in the preliminary determination, Commerce shall determine an estimated all-others rate for all exporters and producers not individually examined. This rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.
Commerce calculated an individual estimated weighted-average dumping margin for ILJIN, the only individually examined exporter/producer in this investigation. Because the only individually calculated dumping margin is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts otherwise available, the estimated weighted-average dumping margin calculated for ILJIN is the margin preliminarily assigned to all other producers and exporters, pursuant to section 735c5A of the Act.
