days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review. For any 

individually examined respondent 

whose weighted average dumping 

margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 

percent) in the final results of this 

review, the Department will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of dumping calculated for the importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will instruct CBP 

to assess antidumping duties 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. Where either the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The Department recently announced a 

refinement to its assessment practice in 

NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement 

in practice, for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by companies individually examined 

during the administrative review, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the rate for the 

PRC-wide entity. Additionally, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

had no shipments of the subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries 

that entered under that exporter’s case 

number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash 

deposit rate) will be liquidated at the 

rate for the PRC-wide entity.22

The final results of this review shall 

be the basis for the assessment of 

antidumping duties on entries of 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review and for future cash 

deposits of estimated duties, where 

applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from the PRC entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by sections 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

previously investigated or reviewed PRC 

and non-PRC exporters that received a 

separate rate in a prior completed 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all 

PRC exporters of subject merchandise 

that have not been found to be entitled 

to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will be that for the PRC-wide entity, 

which is 128.94 percent; 23 and (3) for 

all non-PRC exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the PRC 

exporter that supplied that non-PRC 

exporter. 

These deposit requirements, when 

imposed, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 the POR. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in the Department’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results are issued 

and published in accordance with 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

in-quota rate of duty to submit such 

information in writing to the Assistant
