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 covered by this review.13 Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), if the
weighted-average dumping margin for Goodluck or TII is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than
0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we will 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. If either respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, or if an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping duties. The final results of this review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by this review, and
for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.14
In accordance with Commerce’s “automatic assessment” practice, for entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by Goodluck or TII for which the company did not know
that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation
(i.e., 5.87 percent)15 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 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merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication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 the companies listed above will be equal to the weightedaverage dumping margins 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 be the company-specific rate published for the most recently-completed segment in which it
was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or in the original LTFV
investigation, but the producer is, then 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 5.87 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV investigation as adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in the
companion countervailing duty investigation.17 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this
administrative review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in any written
briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers

17 See

Order, 83 FR at 26965.

This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping
and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties
by the amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these preliminary results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
