Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed to interested parties in these final results within five days
of the date of publication of this notice, 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), Samyoung reported the entered
value of its U.S. sales such that 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 for which entered value was reported. 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
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Samyoung for which
the company 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 of 17.08 percent
\6\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue liquidation 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shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from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 company
listed above 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) for previously investigated or reviewed companies not listed above,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific cash
deposit rate published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if
the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then
the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 17.08 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\7\ These cash 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
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
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of return/destruction of
[[Page 23562]]
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 21, 2024.
