Disclosure
The Department will disclose
calculations performed for these final
results to the parties within five days of
the date of publication of this notice, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (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
6 Consistent with Comment V in the I&D Memo,
the Department has determined that it will calculate
per-unit assessment and cash deposit rates.

merchandise.7 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.
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
For the exporter listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of review; (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 recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that for the PRC-wide entity, which
is 128.94 percent; 8 and (4) for all nonPRC exporters of subject merchandise
which 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. The
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the
Reimbursement of Duties
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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

duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.

fair-value (LTFV) investigation of
certain oil country tubular goods
(OCTG) from India. This judgment was
not appealed within the 60-day
deadline, and became final and
conclusive on May 15, 2017. The
Department previously notified the
public that the final judgment in this
case is not in harmony with the
Department’s final determination in the
LTFV investigation of OCTG from India.
Because the judgement in this case is
final and conclusive, the Department is
now amending its antidumping duty
order on OCTG from India covering the
period of investigation (POI) of July 1,
2012, through June 30, 2013, to exclude
GVN Fuels Limited (GVN) from the
order and revise the dumping margin for
Jindal SAW, Limited (Jindal SAW).
