purposes, the written product description remains dispositive.

Final Results of CCR

    For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, Commerce 
continues to find that HA Food is the successor-in-interest to Highland 
Agro. As a result of this determination, and consistent with our 
established practice, we find that HA Food should receive the AD cash 
deposit rate previously assigned to Highland Agro. Because there are no 
changes from the Preliminary Results, there is no decision memorandum 
accompanying this notice and the Preliminary Results are hereby adopted 
as the final results of this CCR.
    Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject 
merchandise produced and/or exported by HA Food and entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 
date of this notice in the Federal Register at 3.88 percent, which is 
the current AD cash deposit rate for Highland Agro.\6\ This cash 
deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
