(b) For previously investigated companies not listed above, the AD duty cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period of review;

(c) If the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original AD investigation, but the manufacturer is, the AD duty cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and

(c) The AD duty cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will be the Vietnam-wide entity rate of 63.88%.

Assessment Instructions

The ITA intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after March 24, 2008.

The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates on a per-unit basis and will direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit (i.e., per-kilogram) rates.
