Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results
of this 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
351.212(b)(1), if Samyoung’s weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
intend to calculate importer-specific
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the importer’s examined sales to the
total entered value of those same sales
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).14 If Samyoung’s
weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importerspecific assessment rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.15 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.16
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by Samyoung
for which it did not know that the
merchandise it sold was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers 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

subject merchandise entered, or

cash deposit rate for the company 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 merchandise exported by a
company 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 in the completed segment for
the most recent period; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, or a previous segment, 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; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 17.08 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.18 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results of this 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 351.212(b)(1), if Samyoung's weighted-average
dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent)

specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total

importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping
duties.\15\ 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.\16\

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 company
