a reasoned explanation for its
determination. Specifically, first, the
CIT ordered the Department to make a
determination as to the practicability of
allowing China Kingdom to explain the
deficient responses, that is required by
section 782(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and, in doing so,
to afford China Kingdom a reasonable
opportunity to explain the deficiency
affecting the information on Chaohu
Daxin Foodstuff Co., Ltd.’s (Daxin) total
production and the calculated data for
eight of the eleven factors of production.
Second, the CIT specified that once
China Kingdom has provided its
explanation regarding the deficient
information, the Department must make
the determinations required by either
section 782(d)(1) or (2) of the Act, or
both, with respect to the substitute
information. Third, the CIT ordered that
the Department may use facts otherwise
available solely to determine the total
amount of Daxin’s production of subject
merchandise, and to calculate and
determine the eight incorrectly reported
factors of production during the period
of review. Lastly, the CIT instructed that
the Department may use adverse
inferences only to a limited extent, and
must demonstrate that the use of
adverse inferences is not punitive,
aberrational, or uncorroborated.
On February 1, 2008, the Department
released the draft final results of
redetermination for comment. No party
submitted comments by the February
11, 2008, deadline. On March 4, 2008,
the Department filed its final results of
redetermination pursuant to the CIT’s
order. See Results of Redetermination
on Remand Pursuant to China Kingdom
Import & Export Co., Ltd. v. United
States. In the remand results, pursuant
to the CIT’s order, the Department
recalculated China Kingdom’s margin
using adverse facts available only to a
limited extent. Specifically, the
Department only applied adverse facts
available to those factors which China
Kingdom incorrectly reported in its
responses. Therefore, for the remand
results, the Department utilized China
Kingdom’s correctly reported factors in
its margin calculation. On September
12, 2008, the CIT issued its judgment
affirming the Department’s remand
results.
On October 17, 2008, consistent with
the decision in Timken Co. v. United
States, 893 F.2d 337 (Fed. Cir. 1990), the
Department notified the public that the
CIT’s decision was not in harmony with
Department’s final results. See Crawfish
Tail Meat from the People’s Republic of
China: Notice of Court Decision Not in
Harmony with Final Results of
Administrative Review, 73 FR 61782

(October 17, 2008). There was no appeal
of the CIT’s decision to the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit filed
within the appeal period. Therefore, the
CIT’s decision is now final and
conclusive.
Amended Final Results of the Review
As the litigation in this case has
concluded, the Department is amending
the Final Results to reflect the results of
our remand redetermination. The
revised dumping margin in the
amended final results is as follows:
Exporter/Manufacturer
Weighted–Average
Margin (Percent)
China Kingdom Import
& Export Co. Ltd. ......
90.66
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
liquidate entries of freshwater crawfish
tail meat from the People’s Republic of
China during the review period at the
assessment rate the Department
calculated for the final results of review
as amended. We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these
amended final results of review.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i) of the Act.
