Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce will 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. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this administrative 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).
For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent), upon completion of
the final results, Commerce will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of sales. Where we do not
have entered values for all U.S. sales to
a particular importer/customer, we will
calculate a per-unit assessment rate by
aggregating the antidumping duties due
for all U.S. sales to that importer (or
customer) and dividing this amount by
the total quantity sold to that importer
(or customer).13 To determine whether
the duty assessment rates are de
minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculate importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer- (or customer) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.14

individually examined respondent for
which it did not know its merchandise
was destined for the United States, we

entries at the all-others rate if there is no

involved in the transaction. 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.15
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication 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 Bothwell 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
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in
which they were reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or the less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation but the producer
is, then the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recentlycompleted 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 116.17 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.16
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.

be received successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5 p.m. Eastern
Standard Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this
notice.\10\ Hearing requests should contain: (1) The party's name,
address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3)
a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be
limited to those raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If
a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing
at a date and time to be determined.\11\ Parties should confirm by
telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before
the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised in any
written briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of
this notice, unless otherwise extended.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce will 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. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP
no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final
results of this administrative 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).
For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), upon
completion of the final results, Commerce will calculate importer-
specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of sales. Where we do not have entered values for all
U.S. sales to a particular importer/customer, we will calculate a per-
unit assessment rate by aggregating the antidumping duties due for all
U.S. sales to that importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by
the total quantity sold to that importer (or customer).\13\ To
determine whether the duty assessment rates are de minimis, in
accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we
calculate importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem ratios based on
the estimated entered value. Where either a respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\14\

\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\14\ See 19 CFR 352.106(c)(2); see also Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
individually examined respondent for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the United States, we
[[Page 48403]]
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction. 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.\15\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication 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 Bothwell 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 merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most
recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which they were
reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation but the producer is, then
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 116.17 percent, the all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation.\16\ 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are being issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: August 24, 2021.
Christian Marsh,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
