Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of the
review, the Department shall determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
review.
For any individually examined
respondents whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis,
we will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).7 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 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 deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of
PET Film from the UAE entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for the companies
under review will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, no cash deposit will be
required); (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
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 less-thanfair-value investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
7 In these preliminary results, the Department
applied the assessment rate calculation

will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 4.05
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.8 These cash 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) to file a certificate regarding
the reimbursement of antidumping
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
