of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales
and the total entered value of the
examined sales. We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review if the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis (i.e., at or above 0.50 percent).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
without regard to antidumping duties
any entries for which the assessment
rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than
0.50 percent). See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this new shipper review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for subject
merchandise that is manufactured by
Enzo Juan Garaventa or Villamora and
exported by Enzo Juan Garaventa or
Villamora will be the rate established in
the final results of this new shipper
review, except no cash deposit will be
required if its weighted-average margin
is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent); (2) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, but was covered
in a previous review or the original lessthan-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, 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
previous review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the manufacturer is,
the cash deposit rate 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 and/or
exporters of this merchandise, shall be
30.24 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.
See Notice of Antidumping Duty Order;
Honey From Argentina, 66 FR 63672
(December 10, 2001). These
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Further, effective upon publication of
the final results, we intend to instruct
CBP that importers may no longer post
a bond or other security in lieu of a cash
deposit on imports of honey from
Argentina, manufactured by Enzo Juan
Garaventa or Villamora and exported by
Enzo Juan Garaventa or Villamora.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
