Commerce conducted this

with section 751(a)(1)(B) and (2) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
all large residential washers and certain
subassemblies thereof from Korea. The
products are currently classifiable under
subheadings 8450.20.0040 and
8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff
System of the United States (HTSUS).
Products subject to this order may also
enter under HTSUS subheadings
8450.11.0040, 8450.11.0080,
8450.90.2000, and 8450.90.6000.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
merchandise subject to this scope is
dispositive.3
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
As no parties submitted comments on
the margin calculation methodology
used in the Preliminary Results, the
Department made no adjustments to that
methodology in the final results of this
review.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, the
Department determines that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for entries of subject
merchandise that were produced and/or
exported by LGE during the POR:
Manufacturer/exporter
Weightedaverage
margin
(percent)
LG Electronics, Inc .....................
0.64
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
determined, 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. Commerce intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the final results of this administrative
review.
For LGE, which has a weightedaverage dumping margin which is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent), we calculated importer- (or
Federal Government’’ (Tolling Memorandum),
dated January 23, 2018. All deadlines in this
segment of the proceeding have been extended by
3 days.

assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s (or customer’s)
examined sales to the total sales
quantity associated with those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
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, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for LGE will be the rate
established in the final results of this
review; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not
participating in this review, 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 the less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 11.80
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.4 These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

AGENCY:
The U.S. Department of
Commerce (DOC), International Trade
Administration (ITA) announces that it
will accept applications for the
International Buyer Program (IBP) Select
for quarter 1 of calendar year 2019
(January 1, 2019, through March 31,
2019). The IBP Select is currently
undergoing a program review that may
result in new ITA products and services
for trade shows. The program review
may not be complete in time to provide
products and services for shows that
occur in the first quarter of calendar
year 2019, so the IBP is moving forward
with accepting applications for only that
time period. The IBP may announce
subsequent calls for applications for
other quarters of calendar year 2019,
depending on how soon ITA finalizes
the program review. Should the program
review result in new ITA products and

review criteria for IBP Select. Under IBP
Select, ITA recruits international buyers

promotion, whereas IBP Select focuses
on promotion and recruitment in up to
five international markets. Specifically,
through the IBP Select, the DOC selects
domestic trade shows that will receive
ITA services in the form of targeted
promotion and recruitment in up to five
foreign markets, as well as export
counseling to exhibitors at the trade
show. This notice covers selection for
IBP Select participation during quarter 1
of calendar year 2019.
DATES: Applications for IBP Select for
quarter 1 of calendar year 2019 must be
received by March 19, 2018.
ADDRESSES: The application form can be
found at www.export.gov/ibp.

Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, the Department determines that the

Commerce determined, 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.
Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly
to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this
administrative review.
For LGE, which has a weighted-average dumping margin which is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we calculated
importer- (or
[[Page 4468]]
customer-) specific per-unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's (or
customer's) examined sales to the total sales quantity associated with
those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de

without regard to antidumping duties.

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all

rate for LGE will be the rate established in the final results of this

the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent
period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to
