Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the
calculations performed in connection
with these final results of review to
parties in this review within five days
after public announcement of the final
results or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the
date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
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 the
final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 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. Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific
rate is zero or de minimis, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Industeel in these final results of
review for which Industeel 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.
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
Upon publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, 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merchandise entered, or withdrawn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
Industeel will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margin established in
the final results of this review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior completed segment of
the proceeding, the cash deposit will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published in the completed segment for
the most recently completed period; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a prior review, or the
original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the producer has been
covered in a prior completed segment of
this proceeding, 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 5.40 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation for this proceeding.11
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in
connection with these final results of review to parties in this review
within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if
there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), 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 the final results of
this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 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. 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 importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Industeel in these final
results of review for which Industeel 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.
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
Upon publication of this notice in the Federal Register, 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 Industeel will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not
covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific
rate published in the completed segment for the most recently completed
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the producer has been covered in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, 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 5.40 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation for this
proceeding.\11\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate

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 Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
