We intend to instruct CBP to assess ADs 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review when the importer-specific 

assessment rate calculated in the final 

results of this review is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). If SIW’s 

overall weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis or where 

an importer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis in 

the final results of review, we intend to 

instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 

entries without regard to ADs.16 The 

final results of this administrative 

review shall be the basis for the 

assessment of ADs on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.17

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by SIW for 

which it did not know that the 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we intend to instruct CBP 

to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 

all-others rate (i.e., 12.91 percent) in the 

original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation 18 if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.19

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative 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 will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise 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withdrawn from warehouse, for 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 SIW will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review, except if the rate 

is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, 

de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

merchandise exported by a company not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior segment of the proceeding, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific cash deposit rate 

published in the completed segment for 

the most recent period; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, or a previous segment, but the 

producer is, then the cash deposit rate 

will be the rate established in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period for the producer of the 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 12.91 percent, the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation.20 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is otherwise 

extended, Commerce intends to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including the results of its 

analysis of issues raised by interested 

parties in the written comments, within 

120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results in the Federal 

Register.21

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 ADs 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of ADs occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of doubled ADs. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results in accordance with 

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

Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(4).

Announcing an Importer’s Additional 

Declaration in the Automated 

Commercial Environment Specific to 

Antidumping/Countervailing Duty 

Certifications 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: General notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce), in coordination 

with U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP), is announcing a new 

functionality in the Automated 

Commercial Environment (ACE) for 

importers entering merchandise that is 

the subject of an antidumping and/or 

countervailing duty (AD/CVD) 

certification. Specifically, the capability 

will exist for importers to identify in the 

ACE entries that are the subject of an 

AD/CVD certification. Commerce 

intends to instruct parties to use this 

new functionality on a case-by-case 

basis. This new identification 

mechanism will facilitate Commerce’s 

and CBP’s administration of the AD/ 

CVD laws by making such entry 

summaries more readily identifiable to 

Commerce and CBP. 

DATES: This new functionality will be 

effective May 2, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

technical questions related to ACE, 

contact your assigned CBP client 

representative. Interested parties 

without an assigned CBP client 

representative should direct their 

questions to: gmb.clientrepoutreach@

cbp.dhs.gov. For general questions 

related to the new declaration 

capability, contact Michael Walsh or 

Yasmin Bordas, Enforcement and 

Compliance, International Trade 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 

NW, Washington, DC 20230; email: 

Michael.Walsh@trade.gov or 

Yasmin.Bordas@trade.gov, respectively.

notice announces functionality in ACE

specific AD/CVD certifications. For 

years, Commerce has used certification 

requirements as a way for parties to 

support claims concerning the 

applicability of an AD/CVD order to 

merchandise that they are producing, 

exporting and/or importing.1 More 

recently, on September 20, 2021, 

Commerce published amendments to its 

existing regulations at 19 CFR part 351 

to strengthen and improve the 

administration and enforcement of the 

AD/CVD laws.2 Included in this final 

rule is the new regulation at 19 CFR 

351.228, which became applicable on 

October 20, 2021, that codifies and 

enhances Commerce’s existing authority 

and practice to require certifications by 

importers and other interested parties as 

to whether merchandise is subject to an 

AD/CVD order. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.228(a)(1)(i)–(iii), the Secretary of 

Commerce may determine in the context 

of an AD/CVD proceeding that an 

importer or other interested party shall 

‘‘maintain a certification for entries of 

merchandise into the customs territory 

of the United States,’’ ‘‘provide a 

certification by electronic means at the 

time of entry or entry summary,’’ or 

‘‘otherwise demonstrate compliance 

with a certification requirement as 

determined by the Secretary, in 

consultation with the Customs Service.’’ 

Since the time we published this 

regulation, there is a new reporting 

functionality in ACE that will allow the 

importer to enter a specific importer’s 

additional declaration type code, which 

will be transmitted through the 

Automated Broker Interface, and 

indicate that merchandise is being 

entered into the customs territory of the 

United States subject to an 

accompanying AD/CVD certification. 

ACE will then reflect the indication 

under the new Importer’s Additional 

Declaration. In light of this new 

functionality, when the Secretary 

determines in the context of an AD/CVD 

proceeding that a certification is 

required, the Secretary may determine, 

alone or in conjunction with other 

requirements, that the importer shall 

declare that its merchandise is being 

entered subject to a certification 

requirement using an additional 

declaration type code in ACE at the time 

of entry summary. This code will 

represent a claim that, for example, the 

entered merchandise is entitled to a 

specific company AD and/or CVD rate 

or, alternatively, a claim that the entered 

merchandise is not subject to AD and/ 

or CVD order. Use of this increased 

visibility in ACE will strengthen 

Commerce’s and CBP’s enforcement of 

AD/CVD orders, enabling them to more 

easily identify merchandise that is being 

entered subject to an AD/CVD 

certification. Accordingly, as of the 

effective date identified above and as 

determined by the Secretary in a given 

AD/CVD proceeding, Commerce and 

CBP may require that importers entering 

merchandise into customs territory of 

the United States that is the subject of 

an AD/CVD certification identify their 

merchandise as such with the new 

importer’s additional declaration type 

code submitted at the time of entry 

summary. The Cargo Systems Messaging 

Service (CSMS) message announcing 

this new functionality will provide 

additional instructions regarding the 

importer’s additional declaration type 

code.
