Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this
administrative review, the Department
shall determine, and Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. If the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis in the final results of this
review, we will calculate importer- or
customer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates for the merchandise
based on the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales made during the period

of review to the total customs value of
the sales used to calculate those duties
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate is
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If
the respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any
of its entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews, i.e.,
‘‘{w}here the weighted-average margin
of dumping for the exporter is
determined to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 11
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The
cash deposit rate for Filmag will be that
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies, 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 prior
review, or in the investigation but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent review period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other
manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be the all-others rate of
26.59 percent, the rate established in the
investigation of this proceeding.12 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, the Department shall
determine, and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. If the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis in the final
results of this review, we will calculate importer- or customer-
specific ad valorem assessment rates for the merchandise based on the
ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the
examined sales made during the period of review to the total customs
value of the sales used to calculate those duties in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will
instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of its entries in accordance
with the Final Modification for Reviews, i.e., ``{w{time} here the
weighted-average margin of dumping for the exporter is determined to be
zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties will be assessed.'' \11\

We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility
[[Page 9808]]
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 review period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: February 19, 2016.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
