Background
amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with NOTICES
In response to requests from
interested parties, Commerce is
conducting an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam)
which it initiated on April 16, 2018.1
The period of review (POR) is February
1, 2017, through January 31, 2018. On
August 9, 2018, we rescinded the review
with respect to Soc Trang Seafood Joint
Stock Company and Seavina Joint Stock
Company.2 Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected
by the partial federal government
closure from December 22, 2018,
through the resumption of operations on
January 29, 2019.3 Accordingly, the

The merchandise subject to the Order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.
The product is currently classified
under the following Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
item numbers: 0306.17.00.03,
0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09,

1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS
numbers are provided for convenience
and for customs purposes, the written
product description, available in the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum,
remains dispositive.4
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). Export prices and constructed
export prices were calculated in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Because Vietnam is a non-market
economy within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, NV was calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the
Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision
Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via the Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov and in the Central

addition, a complete version of the

the proceeding have been extended by 40 days.

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Based on our analysis of information
from Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) and information provided by 18
companies, we preliminarily determine
that these 18 companies 5 subject to this
review did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR. Commerce
finds, consistent with its assessment
practice in non-market economy cases,
that it is appropriate not to rescind the
review in part in these circumstances,
but to complete the review with respect
to these 18 companies and issue
appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.6 For
additional information regarding this
determination, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Commerce finds that 67 companies
(see Appendix II) for which a review
was requested have not established
eligibility for a separate rate and are
considered to be part of the Vietnamwide entity for these preliminary
results.7 Because no party requested a

of Change in Department Practice for Respondent
Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and
Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy
Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78
FR 65963 (November 4, 2013). Commerce’s policy
regarding conditional review of the Vietnam-wide
entity applies to this administrative review. Under
this policy, the Vietnam-wide entity will not be
under review unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity.
9 Due to the issues we have had in past segments
of the proceeding with variations of exporter names
related to this Order, we remind exporters that the
names listed in the rate box are the exact names,
including spelling and punctuation, which
Commerce will provide to CBP and which CBP will
use to assess POR entries and collect cash deposits.

capitalizations, dashes, periods, or commas, or

351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may
submit case briefs no later than 30 days
after the publication of these
preliminary results, and rebuttal
comments within five days after the
time limit for filing case briefs, unless
these deadlines are extended at a later
date. Parties who submit case briefs or
rebuttal briefs are requested to submit
with the argument: (1) A statement of
the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of
authorities.11 Rebuttal briefs must be
limited to issues raised in the case
briefs.12
Limited to ‘‘Ltd.’’ can be confirmed by Commerce
in the event CBP inquires about such variations.
Commerce reminds interested parties that claimed
affiliates are not automatically added to an
exporter’s rate box unless Commerce has made a
collapsing determination for that exporter in the
instant, or in prior, segments of the proceeding.
Furthermore, inclusion of alternate trade names in
an exporter’s rate box must be supported by
evidence on the record that the alternate trade
name: 1) Appears on the exporter’s business license
(as an exporter), and 2) appears on commercial
documents for CBP’s examination upon entry. See,
e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of

Seaproduct Company to be part of a single entity
along with NT Seafoods Corporation, Nha Trang

Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR
56158 (September 12, 2011). As the single entity
has not reported changes since the preceding
administrative review regarding the corporate or
legal structure of the companies within the single
entity, we continue to find that these companies are
affiliated and comprise a single entity to which we
will assign a single rate.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.14 Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the publication date of the final
results of this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., is 0.50
percent or more) in the final results of
this review, Commerce will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of those sales, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).15 We will instruct
CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate calculated in the final
results of this review is above de
minimis. Where a respondent’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to

liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the respondents that were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review but qualified
for a separate rate, the assessment rate
will be equal to the average of the
weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the mandatory
respondents consistent with section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The weightedaverage dumping margins calculated for
both mandatory respondents in this
review are 0.00 percent. Consequently,
the rate preliminarily established for the
non-individually examined companies
is an ad valorem rate of 0.00 percent.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by the
two mandatory respondents during this
review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the Vietnamwide rate. In addition, if we continue to
find in the final results no shipments for
the companies identified in the
‘‘Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments’’ section above, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate any
suspended entries of subject
merchandise that entered under those
companies’ case numbers at the
Vietnam-wide rate.16
For the final results, if we continue to
treat the 67 companies identified in
Appendix II as part of the Vietnam-wide
entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an
ad valorem assessment rate of 25.76
percent to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported by those
companies.
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from Vietnam
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the companies listed above, which have
a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that established in the final results of
this review (except, if the rate is zero or
de minimis, then zero cash deposit will
be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Vietnam and
non-Vietnam exporters not listed above
16 For a full discussion of this practice, see NME

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
Vietnam exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the existing rate for
the Vietnam-wide entity of 25.76
percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnam
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Vietnam exporter that
supplied that non-Vietnam exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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
review period. 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.
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The New
England Aquarium (NEAQ) submitted a
complete application for an Exempted
Fishing Permit (EFP) on March 25, 2019,
to conduct fishing activities that the
regulations would otherwise restrict.
NEAQ is requesting an exemption from
Federal lobster regulations that would
authorize two federally-permitted
commercial lobster vessels to participate
in a ropeless lobster gear study. NEAQ
is requesting an exemption from the
following regulation:
1. Gear marking requirements to allow
for the use of a single buoy marker on
a trawl of more than three traps (50 CFR
697.21(b)(2)).
The purpose of this study is to test a
prototype ropeless fishing system as a
potential technique to prevent
entanglements of protected species,
primarily North Atlantic right whales.
This study is funded through the
Bycatch Reduction Engineering Program
(NA18NMF4720279).
The EFP would authorize two
participating vessels to deploy two
experimental trawls consisting of five or
more traps. Experimental trawls would
have a rope spool, fitted with an
acoustic release, deployed on one end of
the trawl, with a buoy line attached to
the other. Soak time would be between
2–5 days, but may be modified
depending on what each fisherman
decides is appropriate for fishing.
Sampling would occur from May to
September, 2019 in Lobster
Conservation Management Area 3.
Initial deployments would be overseen
by a Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institute engineering team, but later
would be observed by NEAQ personnel.
There would be a total of 42
deployments of experimental trawls.
If approved, the applicant may
request minor modifications and
extensions to the EFP throughout the
year. EFP modifications and extensions
may be granted without further notice if

Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) by Fimex VN and Nha Trang
Seaproduct Company were not made at prices below normal value (NV).
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
DATES: Applicable April 22, 2019.

respectively.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In response to requests from interested parties, Commerce is
conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
certain frozen warmwater shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
(Vietnam) which it initiated on April 16, 2018.\1\ The period of review
(POR) is February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018. On August 9, 2018,
we rescinded the review with respect to Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock
Company and Seavina Joint Stock Company.\2\ Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the partial federal
government closure from December 22, 2018, through the resumption of
operations on January 29, 2019.\3\ Accordingly, the revised deadline
for these preliminary results is now April 9, 2019.

Administrative Reviews, 83 FR 16298 (April 16, 2018) (Initiation
Notice).

Republic of Vietnam: Partial Rescission of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 83 FR 39411 (August 9, 2018).
\3\ See Memorandum to the Record from 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, ``Deadlines
Affected by the Partial Shutdown of the Federal Government,'' dated
January 28, 2019. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding
have been extended by 40 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the Order is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp. The product is currently classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers:
0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12,
0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.24,
0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 1605.29.10.10.
Although the HTSUS numbers are provided for convenience and for customs
purposes, the written product description, available in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, remains dispositive.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For a complete description of the Scope of the Order, see
Memorandum to Gary Taverman, Deputy Assistant Secretary for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations performing the non-
exclusive functions of the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, from James Maeder, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary
for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations performing the
duties of Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, titled ``Decision Memorandum for
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review:
Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam; 2016-2017,'' dated concurrently with, and adopted by, this
notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export
prices and constructed export prices were calculated in accordance with
section 772 of the Act. Because Vietnam is a non-market economy within
the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, NV was calculated in
accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via the Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is
available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and in the
Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce
building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum
and the electronic version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on our analysis of information from Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) and information provided by 18 companies, we
preliminarily determine that these 18 companies \5\ subject to this
review did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR.
Commerce finds, consistent with its assessment practice in non-market
economy cases, that it is appropriate not to rescind the review in part
in these circumstances, but to complete the review with respect to
these 18 companies and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on
the final results of the review.\6\ For additional information
regarding this determination, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ These 18 companies are: (1) Au Vung One Seafood Processing
Import & Export Joint Stock Company; (2) Au Vung Two Seafood
Processing Import & Export Joint Stock Company; (3) Bien Dong
Seafood Co., Ltd.; (4) BIM Foods Joint Stock Company also initiated
as BIM Seafood Joint Stock Company; (5) Cafatex Corporation; (6) Xi
Nghiep Che Bien Thuy Suc San Xuat Kau Cantho; (7) Taydo Seafood
Enterprise (8) Cam Ranh Seafoods (9) Green Farms Joint Stock Company
also initiated as Green Farms Seafoods Joint Stock Company; (10)

(THADIMEXCO); (15) Thong Thuan--Cam Ranh Seafood Joint Stock Company
also initiated as Thong Thuan--Cam Ranh Seafood Joint Stock Company
(T&T Cam Ranh) and Thong Thuan Cam Ranh Seafood Joint Stock Company
(``T&T Cam Ranh''); (16) Thong Thuan Seafood Company Limited; (17)

\6\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (NME AD
Assessment); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce finds that 67 companies (see Appendix II) for which a
review was requested have not established eligibility for a separate
rate and are considered to be part of the Vietnam-wide entity for these
preliminary results.\7\ Because no party requested a
[[Page 16649]]
review of the Vietnam-wide entity, the entity is not under review and
the entity's rate of 25.76 percent is not subject to change.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Appendix II for a full list of the 30 companies
(accounting for duplicate names initiated upon; see also Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, at 12-13.

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the Vietnam-wide
entity applies to this administrative review. Under this policy, the
Vietnam-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity.

Disclosure and Public Comment
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ Due to the issues we have had in past segments of the
proceeding with variations of exporter names related to this Order,
we remind exporters that the names listed in the rate box are the
exact names, including spelling and punctuation, which Commerce will
provide to CBP and which CBP will use to assess POR entries and
collect cash deposits. Any names with punctuation variations, such
as all capitalizations, dashes, periods, or commas, or abbreviations
of the word Company to ``Co.'' and Limited to ``Ltd.'' can be
confirmed by Commerce in the event CBP inquires about such
variations. Commerce reminds interested parties that claimed
affiliates are not automatically added to an exporter's rate box
unless Commerce has made a collapsing determination for that
exporter in the instant, or in prior, segments of the proceeding.
Furthermore, inclusion of alternate trade names in an exporter's
rate box must be supported by evidence on the record that the
alternate trade name: 1) Appears on the exporter's business license
(as an exporter), and 2) appears on commercial documents for CBP's
examination upon entry. See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 2016-2017, 83 FR 46704 (September 14,
2018), and accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 3.
\10\ Commerce previously determined Nha Trang Seaproduct Company
to be part of a single entity along with NT Seafoods Corporation,
Nha Trang Seafoods--F89 Joint Stock Company, and NTSF Seafoods Joint
Stock Company. See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results, Partial
Rescission, and Request for Revocation, In Part, of the Fifth
Administrative Review, 76 FR 12054, 12056 (March 4, 2011), unchanged
in Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial Rescission of Antidumping
Duty Administrative Review, 76 FR 56158 (September 12, 2011). As the
single entity has not reported changes since the preceding
administrative review regarding the corporate or legal structure of
the companies within the single entity, we continue to find that
these companies are affiliated and comprise a single entity to which
we will assign a single rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce will disclose the calculations used in our analysis to
parties in this review within five days of the date of publication of
this notice. Interested parties are invited to comment on the
preliminary results of this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.309(c)(1)(ii), interested parties may submit case briefs no later
than 30 days after the publication of these preliminary results, and
rebuttal comments within five days after the time limit for filing case
briefs, unless these deadlines are extended at a later date. Parties
who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs are requested to submit with
the argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the
argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\11\ Rebuttal briefs must be
limited to issues raised in the case briefs.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c) and (d).
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 16650]]
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance within 30 days of the date of
publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party's
name, address and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and
(3) a list of issues parties intend to discuss. Issues raised in the
hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case and
rebuttal briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends
to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401
Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20230, at a date and time to be
determined.\13\ Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of our analysis of issues raised in the
written comments, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary
results in the Federal Register, unless this deadline is extended.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.\14\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this
review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., is 0.50 percent or more) in
the final results of this review, Commerce will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\15\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review
is above de minimis. Where a respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\15\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents that were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review but qualified for a separate
rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the average of the weighted-
average dumping margins calculated for the mandatory respondents
consistent with section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act. The weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for both mandatory respondents in this
review are 0.00 percent. Consequently, the rate preliminarily
established for the non-individually examined companies is an ad
valorem rate of 0.00 percent.
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by the two mandatory respondents during this review, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the Vietnam-wide rate.
In addition, if we continue to find in the final results no shipments
for the companies identified in the ``Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments'' section above, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any
suspended entries of subject merchandise that entered under those
companies' case numbers at the Vietnam-wide rate.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see NME AD
Assessment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the final results, if we continue to treat the 67 companies
identified in Appendix II as part of the Vietnam-wide entity, we will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 25.76 percent to
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced
and/or exported by those companies.
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above, which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that established in the final results of this review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnam and non-Vietnam
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 Vietnam exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the existing rate for the
Vietnam-wide entity of 25.76 percent; and (4) for all non-Vietnam
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnam
exporter that supplied that non-Vietnam exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 review period. 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.
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: April 8, 2019.
