China (‘‘PRC’’) covering the period April
1, 2012 through March 31, 2013.1 This
review covers one PRC company,
Tianjin Magnesium International, Co.,
Ltd. (‘‘TMI’’). The Department gave
interested parties an opportunity to
comment on the Preliminary Results,
but we received no comments. Hence,
these final results are unchanged from
the Preliminary Results, and we
continue to find that TMI did not have
reviewable entries during the period of
review (‘‘POR’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 1, 2014, the Department
published the Preliminary Results of the
instant review.2 TMI submitted a
timely-filed certification indicating that
it had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.3 In addition, in response to the
Department’s query, U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) did not
provide any evidence that contradicted
TMI’s claim of no shipments.4 The
Department received no comments from
interested parties concerning the results
of the CBP query. Therefore, based on
TMI’s certification and our analysis of
CBP information, we preliminarily
determined that TMI did not have any
reviewable entries during the POR.5 We
invited interested parties to comment on
the Preliminary Results.6 We received
no comments from interested parties.
The Department conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (‘‘the Act’’).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is magnesium
metal from the PRC, which includes

primary and secondary alloy
magnesium metal, regardless of
chemistry, raw material source, form,
shape, or size. Magnesium is a metal or
alloy containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium. Primary
magnesium is produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Secondary
magnesium is produced by recycling
magnesium-based scrap into magnesium
metal. The magnesium covered by this
order includes blends of primary and
secondary magnesium.
The subject merchandise includes the
following alloy magnesium metal
products made from primary and/or
secondary magnesium including,
without limitation, magnesium cast into
ingots, slabs, rounds, billets, and other
shapes; magnesium ground, chipped,
crushed, or machined into rasping,
granules, turnings, chips, powder,
briquettes, and other shapes; and
products that contain 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent,
magnesium, by weight, and that have
been entered into the United States as
conforming to an ‘‘ASTM Specification
for Magnesium Alloy’’ 7 and are thus
outside the scope of the existing
antidumping orders on magnesium from
the PRC (generally referred to as ‘‘alloy’’
magnesium).
The scope of this order excludes: (1)
All forms of pure magnesium, including
chemical combinations of magnesium
and other material(s) in which the pure
magnesium content is 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent, by
weight, that do not conform to an
‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium
Alloy’’ 8; (2) magnesium that is in liquid
or molten form; and (3) mixtures
containing 90 percent or less
magnesium in granular or powder form
by weight and one or more of certain
non-magnesium granular materials to
make magnesium-based reagent
mixtures, including lime, calcium
metal, calcium silicon, calcium carbide,
calcium carbonate, carbon, slag
coagulants, fluorspar, nephaline syenite,
feldspar, alumina (Al203), calcium
aluminate, soda ash, hydrocarbons,

used by the American Society for Testing and
Materials in its Annual Book for ASTM Standards:
Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.

The merchandise subject to this order
is classifiable under items 8104.19.00,
and 8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States
(‘‘HTSUS’’). Although the HTSUS items
are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written
description of the merchandise is
dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As explained above, in the
Preliminary Results, the Department
found that TMI did not have reviewable
entries during the POR.10 Also in the
Preliminary Results, the Department
stated that consistent with its recently
announced refinement to its assessment
practice in non-market economy
(‘‘NME’’) cases, it is appropriate not to
rescind the review in part in this
circumstance but, rather, to complete
the review with respect to TMI and to
issue appropriate instructions to CBP
based on the final results of the
review.11
After issuing the Preliminary Results,
the Department received no comments
from interested parties, nor has it
received any information that would
cause it to revisit its preliminary
determination. Therefore, for these final
results, the Department continues to
find that TMI did not have any
reviewable entries during the POR.
Assessment Rates
The Department determined, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.12 The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
9 This third exclusion for magnesium-based
reagent mixtures is based on the exclusion for
reagent mixtures in the 2000–2001 investigations of
magnesium from China, Israel, and Russia. See

People’s Republic of China, 66 FR 49345
(September 27, 2001); Final Determination of Sales

Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value:
Pure Magnesium From the Russian Federation, 66
FR 49347 (September 27, 2001). These mixtures are
not magnesium alloys, because they are not
combined in liquid form and cast into the same
ingot.

date of publication of these final results
of review.
Additionally, consistent with the
Department’s refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases,
because the Department determined that
TMI had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, any
suspended entries that entered under
TMI’s antidumping duty case number
(i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will be
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.13
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice of final
results of the administrative review, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For TMI, which claimed no
shipments, the cash deposit rate will
remain unchanged from the rate
assigned to TMI in the most recently
completed review of the company; (2)
for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters who are not
under review in this segment of the
proceeding but who have separate rates,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 141.49
percent; 14 and (4) for all non-PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

shapes; and products that contain 50 percent or greater, but less than
99.8 percent, magnesium, by weight, and that have been entered into the
United States as conforming to an ``ASTM Specification for Magnesium
Alloy'' \7\ and are thus outside the scope of the existing antidumping
orders on magnesium from the PRC (generally referred to as ``alloy''
magnesium).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The meaning of this term is the same as that used by the
American Society for Testing and Materials in its Annual Book for
ASTM Standards: Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The scope of this order excludes: (1) All forms of pure magnesium,
including chemical combinations of magnesium and other material(s) in
which the pure magnesium content is 50 percent or greater, but less
than 99.8 percent, by weight, that do not conform to an ``ASTM
Specification for Magnesium Alloy'' \8\; (2) magnesium that is in
liquid or molten form; and (3) mixtures containing 90 percent or less
magnesium in granular or powder form by weight and one or more of
certain non-magnesium granular materials to make magnesium-based
reagent mixtures, including lime, calcium metal, calcium silicon,
calcium carbide, calcium carbonate, carbon, slag coagulants, fluorspar,
nephaline syenite, feldspar, alumina (Al203), calcium aluminate, soda

The merchandise subject to this order is classifiable under items
8104.19.00, and 8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (``HTSUS''). Although the HTSUS items are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
As explained above, in the Preliminary Results, the Department
found that TMI did not have reviewable entries during the POR.\10\ Also
in the Preliminary Results, the Department stated that consistent with
its recently announced refinement to its assessment practice in non-
market economy (``NME'') cases, it is appropriate not to rescind the
review in part in this circumstance but, rather, to complete the review
with respect to TMI and to issue appropriate instructions to CBP based
on the final results of the review.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Preliminary Results, 79 FR at 18278.
\11\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (``Assessment
Practice Refinement'') and the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After issuing the Preliminary Results, the Department received no
comments from interested parties, nor has it received any information
that would cause it to revisit its preliminary determination.
Therefore, for these final results, the Department continues to find
that TMI did not have any reviewable entries during the POR.
Assessment Rates
The Department determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with
the final results of this review.\12\ The Department intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the
[[Page 35312]]
date of publication of these final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, consistent with the Department's refinement to its
assessment practice in NME cases, because the Department determined
that TMI had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, any
suspended entries that entered under TMI's antidumping duty case number
(i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide
rate.\13\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of this notice of
final results of the administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For TMI, which claimed no shipments, the
cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from the rate assigned to TMI
in the most recently completed review of the company; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters who are
not under review in this segment of the proceeding but who have
separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC
exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide
rate of 141.49 percent; \14\ and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written
notification of the return or 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 sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: June 16, 2014.
Lynn Fischer Fox,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
