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.

the antidumping duties by the amount
of the antidumping duties
reimbursement.

Preliminary Results of the Review
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain pasta
(pasta) from Italy. The period of review
As a result of this review, we
calculated a weighted-average dumping
margin of 5.97 percent for Ghigi/Zara

the period July 1, 2016, through June 30,
2017. Therefore, in accordance with
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we
assigned the weighted-average dumping
margin of 5.97 percent calculated for
Ghigi/Zara to the seven non-selected
companies in these preliminary results,

We intend to issue the final results of
this administrative review, including
the results of our analysis of the issues
raised in any written briefs, not later
than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review. If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Ghigi/Zara or
Indalco is above de minimis (i.e., more
than 0.5 percent) in the final results of
this review, we will calculate importerspecific 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 sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).8 If the
weighted-average dumping margin for
Ghigi/Zara or Indalco is zero or de
minimis in the final results of review,
we will instruct CBP not to assess duties
on any of their entries in accordance
with the Final Modification for
Reviews.9
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
respondent for which they did not know
that their merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate unreviewed 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 publication of the
final results of this review.
8 In these preliminary results, we applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in
Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the
Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for

We intend to issue the final results of this administrative review,
including the results of our analysis of the issues raised in any
written briefs, not later than 120 days after the date of publication
of this notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rate
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. If the
weighted-average dumping margin for Ghigi/Zara or Indalco is above de
minimis (i.e., more than 0.5 percent) in the final results of this
review, we will calculate 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 sales
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\8\ If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Ghigi/Zara or Indalco is zero or de minimis in the
final results of review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on
any of their entries in accordance with the Final Modification for
Reviews.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ In these preliminary results, we applied the assessment rate
calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation
of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in
Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101
(February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
\9\ See Final Modification for Reviews, 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
respondent for which they did not know that their merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed 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 publication 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 pasta from Italy entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the
Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for respondents noted above 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 producers or
exporters will continue to be 15.45 percent, the all-others rate
established in the antidumping investigation as modified by the section
129 determination.\10\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

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.

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
