resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers

error is defined as a ministerial error,
the correction of which, singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) A change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, 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. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
calculated an importer-specific ad valorem antidumping assessment rate
for Euro SME that is not zero or de minimis and intends to instruct CBP
to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Euro SME for which it
did not know that the merchandise was destined for the United States,
we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no company-specific rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\

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 cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
[[Page 12935]]
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 Euro SME will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative 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 for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in
which the producer or exporter participated; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior complete
segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recent period for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 84.94 percent, the all-others rate
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation.\10\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final
results within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
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 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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 1, 2022.
