However, because we have made no changes to the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose. Assessment Rates Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 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 of subject merchandise covered this review. Because the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin or an importerspecific 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.3 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.4 For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Citribel, for which the producer did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the 3 See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102– 03 (February 14, 2012); see also 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 4 See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
