merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
For DSM and Hyundai Steel, we
calculated importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).7 For entries of subject
merchandise during the period of
review produced by DSM or Hyundai
Steel for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. For the companies
which were not selected for individual
examination, BDP International, Bookuk
Steel Co., Ltd., Samsung C&T
Engineering & Construction Group,
Samsung C&T Trading and Investment
Group, and Sung Jin Steel Co., Ltd., we
will instruct CBP to apply the rates
listed above to all entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported
by these firms. For the eight companies
that we determined had no reviewable
entries of the subject merchandise in
this review period, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate any applicable entries of
subject merchandise at the all-others
rate. We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of these
reviews.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.11 If a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis in the final results of this
review and the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we will
calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates for the merchandise
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales made during the period of review
to each importer to the total entered
value of those same sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the
respondent has not reported reliable
entered values, we will calculate a perunit assessment rate for each importer
by dividing the total amount of
dumping for the examined sales made
during the period of review to that
importer by the total sales quantity
associated with those transactions.
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}here
the weighted-average margin of
dumping for the exporter is determined
to be zero or de minimis, no
antidumping duties will be assessed.’’ 12
Regarding entries of subject
merchandise during the period of
review that were produced by Prolamsa
and for which they did not know that
the merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate un-reviewed entries at the allothers rate of 3.76 percent, as
established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation of the order, if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.13 For a full

this administrative review; (2) for
previously reviewed or investigated
companies not listed above, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm

is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be the all-others rate of 3.76 percent.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\11\ If a
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis
in the final results of this review and the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rates for the merchandise based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales made during the
period of review to each importer to the total entered value of those
same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If the respondent
has not reported reliable entered values, we will calculate a per-unit
assessment rate for each importer by dividing the total amount of
dumping for the examined sales made during the period of review to that
importer by the total sales quantity associated with those
transactions. 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.'' \12\

Regarding entries of subject merchandise during the period of
review that were produced by Prolamsa and for which they did not know
that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others rate of
3.76 percent, as established in the less-than-fair-value investigation
of the order, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\13\ For a full

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 Prolamsa will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or in the investigation but the producer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 3.76 percent.
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 30, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
