Methodology
Commerce conducted this review in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act. We calculated export prices in
accordance with section 772(a) of the
Act. We calculated normal value in
accordance with section 773 of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying these
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is attached as an
appendix to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is available to the public

Preliminary Results of the Review
We preliminarily determine that the
following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period October 15,
2020, through March 31, 2022.

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

preliminary rate calculated for Impol
applies to subject merchandise produced by ImpolTLM d.o.o. and exported by either Impol-TLM
d.o.o. (Croatia) or Impol d.o.o. (Slovenia).

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 41 / Thursday, March 2, 2023 / Notices
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
If Impol’s weighted-average dumping
margin is not de minimis (i.e., less than
0.50 percent), upon completion of the
final results, Commerce intends to
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for each
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those sales. Where we
do not have entered values for all U.S.
sales to a particular importer, we will
calculate an importer-specific, per-unit
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales to the total quantity of those sales.6
To determine whether an importerspecific, per-unit assessment rate is de
minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we also will calculate an
importer-specific ad valorem ratio based
on estimated entered values. Where
either Impol’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis,
or an importer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.7 For entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Impol for which it did not
know that the merchandise it sold to the
intermediary (e.g., reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate such entries at the all-others
rate 8 if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.9
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.10
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 date of
publication of the final results of this
administrative review, as provided for
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for Impol will be equal

covered in this review or a prior

producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 3.19 percent, the allothers rate established in the less-thanfair-value investigation.11 These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

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.13 Pursuant to 19 CFR

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. 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 importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties. 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

merchandise produced by Impol-TLM d.o.o. and exported by either
Impol-TLM d.o.o. (Croatia) or Impol d.o.o. (Slovenia).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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

If Impol's weighted-average dumping margin is not de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.50 percent), upon completion of the final results, Commerce
intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's
examined sales to the total entered value of those sales. Where we do
not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we
will calculate an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate on the

importer's examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.\6\ To
determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de
minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will
calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated
entered values. Where either Impol's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\7\ For entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Impol for which it did not know
that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary (e.g., reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate \8\
if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\9\

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 date of publication of the final
results of this administrative review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for Impol will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this review (except, if that rate is de minimis, then the
cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for 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 a prior segment of the proceeding 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 3.19 percent, the
all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value
investigation.\11\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, not later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
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 preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: February 23, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
