Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon

shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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 voestalpine will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this administrative review, except if the rate is zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case
the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or in the 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
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be the all-others rate of 28.57 percent from
the investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and sections 19 CFR
