subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

and constructed export price are calculated in accordance with section

Preliminary Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we preliminarily determine the
following weighted-average dumping margins for the period December 1,
2018, through November 30, 2019:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate
is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of the
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters
and producers individually examined, excluding any margins that are
zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on
the basis of facts available{time} .'' For these preliminary
results, we have calculated weighted-average dumping margins for
NEXTEEL and SeAH that are zero or de minimis, and we have not
calculated any margins which are not zero, de minimis, or determined
entirely on the basis of facts available. Accordingly, we have
assigned to the companies not individually examined a margin of zero
percent. The exporters/producers subject to this review, but not
selected for individual review, are listed in Appendix II.

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 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by NEXTEEL or SeAH for
which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they
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.
Consistent with its recent notice,\8\ 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).

Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 884 (January

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the companies
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
[[Page 20486]]
which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed companies not covered in this review, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit 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.\9\ 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: April 14, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
