exists for the period March 1, 2021, through February 28, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-

Disclosure

    Because Commerce received no comments on the Preliminary Results, 
we have not modified our analysis and no decision memorandum 
accompanies this Federal Register notice. We are adopting the 
Preliminary Results as the final results of this review. Consequently, 
there are no new calculations to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.224(b) for these final results.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
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 the final results of this review. We 
intend to instruct CBP to apply the importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rates we calculated for the Preliminary Results on the basis 
of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each 
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those same 
sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\4\ If the importer-
specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, then Commerce will 
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping 
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by TPP, 
for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the 
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at 
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate 
company(ies) involved in the transaction.
    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of these 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 upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of CWP from Thailand entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 
cash deposit rate for TPP will be equal to the weighted-average dumping 
margin established in the final results of this review; (2) for 
merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review but 
covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published in 
the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review or another completed segment of 
this proceeding, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will 
be the company-specific rate established for the completed segment for 
the most recent period for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to 
be 15.67 percent, the all-others rate established in the less-than-
fair-value investigation.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

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 the POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double 
antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305. Timely written 
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject 
to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    Commerce is issuing and publishing the final results of this review 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 
351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: June 5, 2023.
