751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the company
listed above that has a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be that established
in the final results of review (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
listed above that received a separate rate
in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for
all Chinese 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 Chinawide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to Chinese exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary
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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
