Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
will determine, and U.S. Customs and

antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this

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

For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by the sole

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days
