regard to antidumping duties.14 The
final results of this administrative
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
If a respondent has not reported
entered values, we will calculate a perunit assessment rate for each importer
by dividing the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales made to that importer by the total
quantity associated with those sales.
For entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by each
individually examined respondent for
which the they did not know that the
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate established in the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation
(i.e., 6.08 percent) if there is no rate for
the intermediate company(ies) involved
in the transaction.16
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 upon publication in the
Federal Register of the notice of final
results of administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the date of
publication, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for the companies 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
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

These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise
extended, Commerce intends to issue
the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its
analysis of issues raised by interested
parties in the written comments, within
120 days after the date of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal
Register.18
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f) 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 doubled
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 351.221(b)(4).

request that interested parties provide at the beginning of their
briefs a public, executive summary for each issue raised in their
briefs.\9\ Further, we request that interested parties limit their
executive summary of each issue to no more than 450 words, not
including citations. We intend to use the executive summaries as the
basis of the comment summaries included in the issues and decision
memorandum that will accompany the final determination in this
investigation. We request that interested parties include footnotes for
relevant citations in the executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\10\

\9\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via
ACCESS. 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. Oral presentations at the hearing will be
limited to issues raised in the briefs. An electronically filed hearing
request must be received successfully in its entirety by Commerce's
electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 30
days after the date of publication of this notice. If a request for a
hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold a hearing at a time and date
to be determined.\11\ Parties should confirm the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).

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 of subject
merchandise covered by this review.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this
review, we intend to calculate an importer-specific ad valorem
antidumping duty assessment rate 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).\13\ If the weighted-average dumping margin or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.\14\ The final results of this
administrative 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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14,
2012).
\14\ Id., 77 FR at 8102; see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\15\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a respondent has not reported entered values, we will calculate
a per-unit assessment rate for each importer by dividing the total
amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales made to that
importer by the total quantity associated with those sales.
For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by each
individually examined respondent for which the they did not know that
the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established
in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation (i.e., 6.08
percent) if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved
in the transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Order; see also 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 upon
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the
date of publication, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act:
(1) the cash deposit rate for the companies 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 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
[[Page 6092]]
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, a prior review, or the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the cash deposit 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 6.08 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\17\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the
results of its analysis of issues raised by interested parties in the
written comments, within 120 days after the date of publication of
these preliminary results in the Federal Register.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 doubled 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
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: January 25, 2024.
Abdelalia Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
