Consistent with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(4)(i), upon completion of the
final results, consistent with 751(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(2), Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. If Commerce continues to find that
Bessan received no countervailable subsidies in the final results,
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, without regard to
countervailing 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

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).

In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, Commerce also
intends to instruct CBP to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the rate determined in the final results. If
Commerce continues to find that Bessan received no countervailable
subsidies in the final results, no cash deposit will be required on
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of the
final results of this review. For all non-reviewed firms, CBP will
continue to collect cash deposits at the most recent company-specific
or all-others rate applicable to the company, as appropriate. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued and published pursuant to
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
