review.\10\ If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is 
above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final results of this 
review, we will calculate an importer-specific assessment rate on the 
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each 
importer's examined sales and, where possible, the total entered value 
of sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Specifically, 
Commerce will apply the assessment rate calculation method adopted in 
Final Modification for Reviews.\11\ Where an importer- (or customer-) 
specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\12\

    \10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \11\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database 
submitted by Nanjing Yinxiangchen examined during this review, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    With regard to Nanjing Yinxiangchen, the respondent in this new 
shipper review, Commerce established a combination cash deposit rate 
consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For subject merchandise 
produced and exported by Nanjing Yinxiangchen, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established in the final results of this new shipper 
review; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Nanjing Yinxiangchen 
but not produced by Nanjing Yinxiangchen the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate for the China-wide entity; and (3) for subject merchandise 
produced by Nanjing Yinxiangchen but not exported by Nanjing 
Yinxiangchen the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

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 these PORs. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or 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.
    Commerce is issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this 
new shipper review in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i) 
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.214 and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: March 27, 2019.
Gary Taverman,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
