review, we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for an importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of such
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). If Haddecilik’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review, or
an importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the
respondent for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company involved in the
transaction.9
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after publication of the
final results of this review.

rate for Haddecilik will be the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this administrative
