Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the
administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.14
If the weighted average dumping
margin for Dillinger is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we
will calculate importer-specific ad
valorem antidumping duty assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).15
If the weighted-average dumping margin
for Dillinger is zero or de minimis in the
final results, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis in
the final results, we will instruct CBP
not to assess antidumping duties on any
such entries in accordance with the
Final Modification for Reviews.16
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by companies included in these final
results of review 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.17
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 deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the

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 exporter listed
above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin 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 companies not participating
in this review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most
recently completed segment; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 21.04 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.18
These 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.

of this notice, unless otherwise extended.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the administrative review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the weighted average dumping margin for Dillinger is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-
specific ad valorem antidumping duty assessment rates based on the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those same sales in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\15\ If the weighted-average
dumping margin for Dillinger is zero or de minimis in the final
results, or an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis
in the final results, we will instruct CBP not to assess antidumping
duties on any such entries in accordance with the Final Modification
for Reviews.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
\16\ Id. at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in
these final results of review 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.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 exporter
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
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 companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate
published for the most recently completed segment; (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 cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
21.04 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\18\ These 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and
Dated: July 30, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
