Assessment Rates

    Upon completion of the final results, Commerce shall determine and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries. If Garg Tube's weighted-average 
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis 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 the total entered value of such sales in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If Garg Tube's weighted-average 
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or 
if an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regards to 
antidumping duties.
    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Garg 
Tube for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries in 
accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews.\8\

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For Apollo and the 25 companies which were not selected for 
individual examination,\9\ we will instruct CBP to assess antidumping 
duties at a rate equal to each company's weighted-average dumping 
margin in the final results of this review.\10\

    We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP fifteen days

results of this administrative review shall be the basis for the 
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise under review 
and for future cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties, where 
applicable.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of

The cash deposit rate for companies subject to this review will be 
equal to the company-specific weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the final results of the review; (2) for merchandise 
exported by a company not covered in this review but covered in a prior 
segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the company-specific rate published in the completed segment for the 
most recent period; (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 in the completed 
segment for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; 
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will be

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 this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties

occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
