Cash Deposit Requirements
The Department will instruct CBP to
require a cash deposit equal to the
weighted-average amount by which the
normal value exceeds U.S. price. The
following cash deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
final results of this administrative
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from the PRC entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, then the cash deposit rate will
be zero for that exporter); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) for all PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not
been found to be entitled to a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate for the PRC-wide entity and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject
merchandise that have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the PRC
exporter that supplied that non-PRC
exporter. These 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in the Department’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the

of initiation of the first sunset review of
the CVD Order on MCBs from the PRC
