---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. If a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 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 in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). 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.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 48028]]
(i.e., 5.87 percent),\14\ if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Investigation Final Determination, 83 FR at 26965,
unchanged in Second Amended Final Determination and Order.
\15\ 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 publication date 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 in the final results of this review will be equal to the
weighted-average 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 all-others rate
established in the LTFV investigation as adjusted for the export-
subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty investigation.\16\
These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Investigation Final Determination, 83 FR at 26965,
unchanged in Second Amended Final Determination and Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, not 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
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 and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. 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)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2) and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 29, 2025.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance.
