Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a preliminary 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR

regarding the reimbursement of 

antidumping duties prior to liquidation 

of the relevant entries during this 

review period. 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.

preliminary results in accordance with 

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