Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
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 in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b). For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-
average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5
percent) in the final results of this review and the respondent
reported entered values, we will calculate importer-specific ad valorem
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 sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where we do
not have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer, we
will calculate an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate on the
basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the
importer's examined sales to the total quantity of those sales.\12\ To
determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de
minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also will
calculate an importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated
entered values. Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate
is zero or de minimis in the final results of review, we will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping
duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). If a respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in the final
results of review, we will instruct CBP not to assess duties on any of
its entries in accordance with the Final Modification for Reviews,
i.e., ``{w{time} here the weighted-average margin of dumping for the
exporter is determined to be zero or de minimis, no antidumping duties
will be assessed.'' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\13\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8102 (February 14,
2012) (Final Modification for Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Habich
for which it 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 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Habich will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 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) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a prior completed review, or the
less-than-fair value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for
the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding for the producer
of subject merchandise; and (3) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers and exporters will continue to be 25.90 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, including the results of its analysis of the issues raised in
any case or rebuttal briefs, no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, unless extended.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act; and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. 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 to Interested Parties
These preliminary results are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
