Assessment
The Department shall determine, and
the CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
we have calculated importer–specific
assessment rates. The Department will
issue appropriate assessment
instructions directly to CBP within 15
days of publication of these final results
of review. We will direct CBP to assess
the resulting assessment rate against the
entered customs values for the subject
merchandise on each of the importer’s
entries during the POR.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Tariff Act): (1) For the
companies named above, the cash
deposit rates will be the rates for these
firms shown above, except that, for
exporters with de minimis rates (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), no deposit will be
required; (2) for previously–reviewed
producers and exporters with separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will be the
company–specific rate established for
the most recent period for which they
were reviewed; and (3) for all other
producers and exporters, the rate will be
30.24 percent, the ‘‘all others’’ rate
established in the less than fair value
investigation as established in the

Antidumping Duty Order. See Notice of
Antidumping Duty Order; Honey From
Argentina, 66 FR 63672 (Dec. 10, 2001).
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
publication of the final results of the
next administrative review. This notice
also serves as a final 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 period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of doubled antidumping duties.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues
to govern business proprietary
information in this segment of the
proceeding. Timely written notification
of the return/destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a violation,
which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing this
determination and notice in accordance
with sections section 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act.
