Assessment

    As the Department is rescinding this NSR, we have not calculated a 
company-specific dumping margin for Sunbeauty. Sunbeauty's entries

at the time of entry, which is the PRC-wide rate (i.e., $2.63 per 
kilogram).

    Effective upon publication of this notice of the final rescission 
of the NSR of Sunbeauty, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection to discontinue the option of posting a bond or 
security in lieu of a cash deposit for entries of subject merchandise 
from Sunbeauty. The following cash deposit requirements will be 
effective upon publication of these final results for all shipments of 
subject merchandise from Sunbeauty entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act): (1) For subject merchandise produced and exported by 
Sunbeauty, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the PRC-wide

rate (i.e., $2.63 per kilogram); (2) for subject merchandise exported 
by Sunbeauty but not manufactured by Sunbeauty, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the PRC-wide rate (i.e., $2.63 per kilogram); and 
(3) for subject merchandise manufactured by Sunbeauty, but exported by 
any other party, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to 
the exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notifications to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the 
relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/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 which is subject to sanction.
