Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\9\ If the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero
or de minimis in the final results of this review, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) not to assess
antidumping duties on any of its entries in accordance with the Final
Modification for Reviews.\10\ If the respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, Commerce will calculate importer-specific
assessment rates on the basis of 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).
If an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\10\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Duty Proceedings; Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) (Final Modification for
Reviews).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Instructions
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from India entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for subject merchandise produced
and exported by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for Sudarshan in the final results of this NSR (except, if
the rate is zero or de minimis, then no cash deposit will be required);
\11\ (2) for subject merchandise exported by Sudarshan, but not
produced by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's
rate, or the all others rate (i.e., 27.48 percent) \12\ if the producer
does not have its own rate; and (3) for subject merchandise produced by
Sudarshan, but not exported by Sudarshan, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate applicable to the exporter, or the all other's rate if the
exporter does not have its own rate. These cash deposit requirements,

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
