best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin

presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)

determines that the reported U.S. sales
of Linyi Chengen Import and Export Co.,
Ltd. (Chengen) were export price (EP)
sales.7 We calculated EP sales in
accordance with section 772 of the Act.
Given that China is a non-market
economy (NME) country, within the
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act,
Commerce calculated NV in accordance
with section 773(c) of the Act.

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies:
\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins
calculated for those companies selected for individual review using
the publicly-ranged U.S. quantities. Because we cannot apply our
normal methodology of calculating a weighted-average margin due to
requests to protect business proprietary information, we find this
rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin
determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball Bearings and
Parts Thereof from France, et al.: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Reviews, Final Results of Changed-Circumstances
Review, and Revocation of an Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of this administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where NEXTEEL Co., Ltd. (NEXTEEL)
reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, 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. SeAH
Steel Corporation (SeAH) did not report actual entered value for all of
its U.S. sales; in such instances, we calculated importer-specific per-
unit duty assessment rates by aggregating the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales and dividing this
amount by the total quantity of those sales. 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.
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the weighted-average \6\ of the
cash deposit rates calculated for NEXTEEL and SeAH. 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.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ This rate was calculated as discussed in footnote 5, above.
\7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 each specific
company listed above will be that 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 previously
investigated companies not participating in this review, the cash
deposit will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review,
or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent segment for the manufacturer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 4.38 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\8\ These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: January 31, 2020.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
