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.
