Disclosure

    The Department will disclose calculations performed for these final

regulations.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties 
on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with 
the final results of this review. The Department intends to issue 
appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15 days after 
publication of the final results of this administrative review.
    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating 
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise 
subject to this review. For assessment purposes, we calculated a per-
unit rate for each importer (or customer) by dividing the total dumping 
margins for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales quantity 
associated with those transactions. We will direct CBP to assess the 
resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject 
merchandise.\6\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer- (or 
customer-) specific assessment rate is above de minimis. Where an 
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.

warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)

entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the 
PRC-wide entity, which is 128.94 percent; \7\ and (4) for all non-PRC 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC
