rescinded this review for three
companies that did not have reviewable

results of this administrative review
shall be the basis for the assessment of

merchandise under review and for

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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 ASB will be equal
to the weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative 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 previously reviewed or
investigated companies not listed above,
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 company
participated; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or in the less-than-fair-value
investigation (LTFV) but the producer
is, 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 the all-others rate of 9.86 percent, the
rate established in the LTFV
investigation of this proceeding.10 These
cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 doubled antidumping duties.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made certain adjustments to the margin
calculations for these final results, as detailed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Final Results of the Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margin exists for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed to
interested parties 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).
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
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 these final results of review. Pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where the respondent 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 the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by ASB for which the reviewed
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\9\

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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). The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash 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 ASB will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative 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 previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, 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 company participated; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, a prior review, or in the less-than-fair-value
investigation (LTFV) but the producer is, 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
the all-others rate of 9.86 percent, the rate established in the LTFV
investigation of this proceeding.\10\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an APO
of their responsibility concerning the return or
[[Page 86786]]
destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or 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)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)
and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: October 25, 2024.
