preliminarily determined not to revoke the order with respect to 
Grobest.

0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12, 0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18, 
0306.17.00.21, 0306.17.00.24, 0306.17.00.27, 0306.17.00.40,

provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written product 
description, available in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, dated 
concurrently with these results and hereby adopted by this notice, 
remains dispositive.

Methodology

    The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``the Act''). For a 
full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 
a public document and is on file electronically via Import 
Administration's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized 
Electronic Service System (``IA ACCESS''). IA ACCESS is available to 
registered users at http://iaaccess.trade.gov and in the Central 
Records Unit, Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building. In 
addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can 
be accessed directly on the internet at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The 
signed Preliminary Decision Memorandum and the electronic versions of 
the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Intent Not To Revoke Order in Part

    We preliminarily find that Grobest has not satisfied the 
requirements of 19 CFR 351.222(b). Thus, under section 751 of the Act, 
we preliminarily determine not to revoke in part the order with respect 
to Grobest.

Preliminary Results of Review

    The Department has preliminarily determined that the following 
weighted-average dumping margin exists.

their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation

reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: September 10, 2013.
