Duty Assessment
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Sidenor for which
it did not know that the merchandise
was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate if there is no
rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.
We intend to issue instructions to
CBP 15 days after the publication date
of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 Sidenor will be
the rate established in the final results
of this administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior

review, or the original 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
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 25.77
percent, the all-others rate established
in the investigation.5 These cash 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR.
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 doubled antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials, or conversion to judicial
protective order, is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and the terms of an APO is a
sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: March 23, 2018.
