Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.10 Golden Dragon reported the
names of the importers of record and the
entered value for all of its sales to the
United States during the POR. If Golden
Dragon’s weighted-average dumping
margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent) in the final
results of this review, we 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 those sales in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), and we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review. Where either the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
In accordance with the Department’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Golden Dragon for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
companies involved in the transaction.
For a full discussion of this clarification,
see Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Proceedings: Assessment of
Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May
6, 2003).
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 41 days after the publication date
of the final results of this review.

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of seamless refined copper pipe and tube from Mexico

The cash deposit rate for Golden Dragon will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by manufacturers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment; (3) if
