Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries. Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the publication of the final
results of this review. Where
assessments are based upon facts
available, including adverse facts
available, we intend to instruct CBP to
assess duties at the adverse facts
available margin rate. If these
preliminary results are unchanged in
the final results, then Commerce intends
to instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on POR entries of the subject
merchandise produced or exported by
Synthos Dwory at the rate of 44.54
percent of the entered value. 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.

the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the manufacturer of the

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 the
Secretary’s presumption that

occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to

Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final

their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance

continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the return or destruction

requested. Failure to comply with the

a sanctionable violation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties
in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. The
issues are identified in the Appendix to this notice. The Issues and
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of comments received, we made certain changes
to the margin calculations for TFM. For a discussion of these changes,
see the ``Margin Calculations'' section of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Results of the Administrative Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for TFM for the period May 1,
2017 through April 30, 2018:

We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final

final results in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. For TFM, we calculated importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for each importer's examined sales and
the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).\6\

For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TFM
for which it did not know its merchandise was destined for the United
States, 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. We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final 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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
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.
