Circuit held that, pursuant to section 

516A(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), Commerce must 

publish a notice of a court decision that 

is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The 

Court’s July 9, 2018, final judgment 

sustaining Commerce’s Remand 

Redetermination constitutes a final 

decision of the Court that is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s Final 

Determination. This notice is published 

in fulfillment of the publication 

requirements of Timken. Accordingly, 

Commerce will continue the suspension 

of liquidation of the subject 

merchandise pending the expiration of 

the period of appeal, or if appealed, 

pending a final and conclusive court 

decision. 

We have not amended the Final 

Determination because reclassifying 

UTP–JA’s cost of caps as packing 

expenses did not result in a change to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

calculated for Universal in the Final 

Determination, which remains 5.58 

percent. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(c)(1) and 

(e), and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
