However, because Commerce continues to rely solely on the application of facts available with adverse inferences in accordance with sections 776(a) and (b) of the Act, for Tejawat, there are no calculations to disclose for these final results. <HD SOURCE="HD1">Assessment Rates</HD> Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in this review, in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the <E T="04">Federal Register</E> .
