Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies
for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping
duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce
intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries
will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.

This notice serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
