proceeding in which the company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or in the investigation but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be the all-others rate of 20.58 percent,
the rate established in the investigation
of this proceeding.22 These cash 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)(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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

using ratios derived from the reported
production-line-month specific costs;
(2) we corrected the beginning date for
U.S. sales. For a full discussion of these
changes, see Comments 1 and 2 in the

within five days of the publication date

accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review.12 In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce calculated an
importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping assessment rate for POSCO
that is not zero or de minimis, and will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review.
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of

not know that the 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.13
Consistent with its recent notice,14
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review in the
Federal Register. If a timely summons is
filed at the U.S. Court of International
Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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 POSCO is
equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for previously
investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter was not
covered in this review or the
investigation, but the producer was
covered, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of subject merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 41.10 percent, the all-others rate
established in the original less-than-fairvalue investigation.15 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
