sawblades) from the People’s Republic
of China (the PRC). The period of review
(POR) is November 1, 2012, through
October 31, 2013. The Department has
preliminarily determined that certain

Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is diamond sawblades and parts thereof.
The diamond sawblades subject to the
order are currently classifiable under
subheadings 8202 to 8206 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS), and may also
enter under 6804.21.00. While the
HTSUS subheadings are provided for

We are rescinding the review in part
with respect to Husqvarna (Hebei) Co.,
Ltd., and Hebei Husqvarna-Jikai
Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.2
Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial
Co., Ltd., which received a separate rate
in previous segments of the proceeding
and is subject to this review, reported
that it did not have any exports of
subject merchandise during the POR.3
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) data for the POR corroborated this
company’s no-shipment claim.4
Additionally, we requested that CBP
report any contrary information.5 To
date, CBP has not responded to our
inquiry with any contrary information
and we have not received any evidence
that this company had any shipments of
the subject merchandise sold to the
United States during the POR.6
Consistent with the Department’s
refinement to its assessment practice in
non-market economy (NME) cases
regarding no shipment claims, we are
completing the review with respect to
this company and will issue appropriate
instructions to CBP based on the final
results of the review.7

Methodology
The Department has conducted this
review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act). Export price and
constructed export price have been
calculated in accordance with section
772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a
NME within the meaning of section
771(18) of the Act, normal value has
been calculated in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is on file
electronically via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized
Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users
at https://access.trade.gov and to all

room 7046 of the main Department of
Commerce building.8 In addition, a

above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of those
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Specifically, the
Department will apply the assessment
rate calculation method adopted in
Final Modification for Reviews.16 Where
an importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.17
For Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd., for
which the review is rescinded, the
antidumping duty shall be assessed at
the rate equal to the cash deposit of the
estimated antidumping duty required at
the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2).
We will instruct CBP accordingly.
Pursuant to a refinement to the
Department’s assessment practice in
NME cases,18 for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, the
Department will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide
rate. In addition, if the Department
determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will
be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.19
The Department intends to issue
appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication
of the final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from the PRC
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies
listed above that have separate rates, the

the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero
cash deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed PRC
and non-PRC exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the PRC-wide entity; 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 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 preliminary
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
review period. 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.
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Qingdao Shinhan Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., which received a
separate rate in previous segments of the proceeding and is subject to
this review, reported that it did not have any exports of subject
merchandise during the POR.\3\ U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

Additionally, we requested that CBP report any contrary information.\5\
To date, CBP has not responded to our inquiry with any contrary
information and we have not received any evidence that this company had
any shipments of the subject merchandise sold to the United States
during the POR.\6\ Consistent with the Department's refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market economy (NME) cases regarding no
shipment claims, we are completing the review with respect to this
company and will issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the
final results of the review.\7\

Methodology
The Department has conducted this review in accordance with section
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). Export
price and constructed export price have been calculated in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Because the PRC is a NME within the
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, normal value has been calculated
in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov and to all parties in the

Interested parties who wish to request a hearing, or to participate
if one is requested, must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce,
filed electronically using ACCESS. An electronically filed document
must be received successfully in its entirety by the Department's
ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice.\14\ Hearing requests should contain (1) the
party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of
participants; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues raised
in the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case
briefs. The Department intends to issue the final results of this
review, including the results of its analysis of issues raised by
parties in their comments, within 120 days after the publication of
these preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of review, the Department will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\15\ If a respondent's weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate an importer-specific
assessment rate on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of those sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Specifically, the Department will apply the assessment rate calculation
method adopted in Final Modification for Reviews.\16\ Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\16\ See Antidumping Proceeding: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8103 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification for Reviews).
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd., for which the review is rescinded,
the antidumping duty shall be assessed at the rate equal to the cash
deposit of the estimated antidumping duty required at the time of
entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(2). We will instruct CBP accordingly.
Pursuant to a refinement to the Department's assessment practice in
NME cases,\18\ for entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales
databases submitted by companies individually examined during this
review, the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at
the PRC-wide rate. In addition, if the Department determines that an
exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any
suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e.,
at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\19\
The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
review.

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate
rates, the
[[Page 71982]]
cash deposit rate will be that established in the final results of
review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash
deposit will be required); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed
PRC and non-PRC exporters not listed above that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the
PRC-wide entity; 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 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 preliminary 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 review period. 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.
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213.
Dated: November 26, 2014.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
