accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent reported the
entered value of their 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. Where the respondent
did not report entered value, we calculated the entered value in order
to calculate the assessment rate. Where an importer-specific assessment
rate is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that
importer will be liquidated without reference to antidumping duties. We
intend to instruct CBP to take into account the ``provisional measures
deposit cap,'' in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
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.\6\

\6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TII
for which it did not know 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.\7\

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of cold-drawn mechanical tubing from India entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of
publication as provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for TII will be equal to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of the review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this
review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or the original less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment
for the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 5.87 percent,\9\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV

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 POR. 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.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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
terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a) and 777(i) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
