Background
On July 1, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD order on rebar from Turkey.[1] On July 30, 2021, the Rebar Trade Coalition (the petitioner) timely requested that Commerce conduct an administrative review of Habas Sinai ve Tibbi Gazlar Istihsal Endustrisi A.S (Habas).[2] We received no other requests for review. On August 29, 2021, Habas notified Commerce that it had no sales, shipments, or entries of subject merchandise during the period of review (POR).[3] On September 7, 2021, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of initiation of an administrative review with respect to Habas, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).[4] On September 15, 2021, Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to corroborate Habas' claim.[5] On September 23, 2021, Commerce notified all interested parties that CBP found no evidence of shipments of subject merchandise produced and exported by Habas during the POR.[6] That same day, Commerce provided all parties an opportunity to comment on CBP's findings.[7] No parties submitted comments.
