Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these final results of review to parties to the proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , 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 these final results of review. 7 We calculated importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates for the merchandise by dividing the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for all reviewed sales to the importer by the total entered value of the merchandise sold to the importer, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation. Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. 8

In accordance with Commerce's "automatic assessment" practice, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate POR entries of the subject merchandise that Interpipe produced and sold, but did not know it was destined for the United States, at the all-others rate ( i.e., 23.75 percent)? 9 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. 10

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.
