Assessment Rate 

Upon completion of this

determine, and U.S. Customs and

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.10 If the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent) in the final results of 

this review, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment 

rates on the basis of the ratio of the total 

amount of dumping calculated for an 

importer’s examined sales and the total 

entered value of the sales, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).11 If a

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of review, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties in accordance with the Final 

Modification for Reviews.12

The final results of this administrative 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of antidumping duties on 

entries of merchandise under review 

and for future deposits of estimated 

duties, where applicable. Commerce 

intends to issue assessment instructions 

to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties will be effective upon publication 

of the notice of final results of this 

review for all shipments of ESB rubber 

from Brazil entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

the date of publication as provided by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The 

cash deposit rate for ARLANXEO Brasil 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of the review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by companies not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of this proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published for the 

most recent period; (3) if the exporter is 

not a firm covered in this review, a prior 

review, or the original investigation but 

the producer is, the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established for the most 

recently completed segment for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 19.61 

percent, the all-others rate established 

in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.13 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 

351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this period 

of review. Failure to comply with this 

requirement could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

these results in accordance with 

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: January 15, 2021.

administrative review on HWR pipes 

and tubes from Mexico.1 This review 

covers 11 producers and exporters of the 

subject merchandise. Commerce

751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(2), Commerce extended the 

time limit for issuing the preliminary 

results of this administrative review to 

September 29, 2020.2 On April 24, 2020, 

Commerce tolled all deadlines in 

administrative reviews by 50 days,
