On July 12, 2018, based on a timely

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries.13
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we
calculated importer-specific ad valorem
duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties. We intend to instruct CBP to
take into account the ‘‘provisional
measures deposit cap,’’ in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 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.
Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the period of review produced by
Industeel for which Industeel did not
know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, 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.14
We intend to issue liquidation
instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all 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withdrawn from warehouse, for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 Industeel will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this review, except if the rate is less
than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most
recently completed segment; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the cash deposit rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the
producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 6.15 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.15
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, 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)
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

Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Among the companies under review,5
China Steel Corporation (CSC), Chun
Chi Grating Co., Ltd. (Chun Chi), and
Product Depot International Corp.
(Product Depot) properly filed
statements that they had no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.6 Based on their
certifications and our analysis of U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
information, we preliminarily determine
that CSC, Chun Chi, and Product Depot
had no reviewable transactions during
the POR. Consistent with our practice,
we are not preliminarily rescinding the
review with respect to CSC, Chun Chi,
or Product Depot, but, rather, we will
complete the review for these
companies and issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of this review.7
5 Commerce also received a properly-filed no
shipments statement from an additional company,
Pat & Jeff Enterprise Co., Ltd. However, because we
received no request for an administrative review for
this company, we have not considered this no
shipments statement in this segment of the
proceeding.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value
of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where either the
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. We intend to
instruct CBP to take into account the ``provisional measures deposit
cap,'' in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d). 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.
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the period of review produced by Industeel for which
Industeel did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, 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.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
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 Industeel will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the
final results of this review, except if the rate is less than 0.50
percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2)
for companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate published
for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will
be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently completed
segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 6.15
percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\15\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, 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) 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
[[Page 34127]]
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: July 10, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
