The Department initiated this CCR
regarding Yongjia and Shanfu II on
December 16, 2014.7 On February 6,
2015, the Department issued its initial
CCR questionnaire to Yongjia.8 Yongjia
timely responded to the Department’s

petitioners rebutted Yongjia’s
questionnaire response.10

The signed Preliminary Decision
Memorandum and the electronic

Memorandum are identical in content.
Methodology
In accordance with section 751(b)(1)
of the Act, we are conducting this
changed circumstances review based
upon the information contained in
Yongjia’s submissions.12 In making a
successor-in-interest determination, the
Department typically examines several
factors including, but not limited to,
changes in: (1) Management; (2)
production facilities; (3) supplier
relationships; and (4) customer base.13
While no single factor or combination of
factors will necessarily be dispositive,
the Department generally will consider
the new company to be the successor to
the predecessor if the resulting
operations of the successor are not
materially dissimilar to that of its
predecessor.14 Thus, if the record
demonstrates that, with respect to the
production and sale of the subject
merchandise, the new company
operates as the same business entity as
the predecessor company, the
Department may assign the new
company the cash deposit rate of its
predecessor.15 For a full description of
the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of the Changed
Circumstances Review
Based on the evidence reviewed, we
preliminarily determine that Shanfu II is
not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I.
Specifically, we find that material
changes occurred after Shanfu I
dissolved and Shanfu II was registered.
These were changes in management,
business scope, production facilities,
supplier relationships, and ownership/
legal structure with respect to the
production and sale of the subject
merchandise.16 Thus, we preliminarily
determine that Shanfu II does not
operate as the same business entity as
Shanfu I with respect to the subject
merchandise. A list of topics discussed
in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum appears in the Appendix
to this notice.
If the Department upholds these
preliminary results in the final results,
Yongjia and Shanfu will be assigned the
cash deposit rate currently assigned to
the PRC-wide entity with respect to the
subject merchandise (i.e., the $4.71 per
kilogram cash deposit rate currently
assigned to the PRC-wide entity).17 If
these preliminary results are adopted in
the final results of this changed
circumstances review, we will instruct
U.S. Customs and Border Protection to
suspend liquidation of entries of fresh
garlic made by Shanfu II and exported
by Yongjia, effective on the publication
date of the final results, at the cash
deposit rate assigned to the PRC-wide
entity.

Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by this order is all grades of garlic,
whether whole or separated into constituent cloves. The subject
merchandise is currently classifiable under the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 0703.20.0000,
0703.20.0010, 0703.20.0020, 0703.20.0090, 0710.80.7060, 0710.80.9750,

A complete description of the scope of the order is contained in

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
In accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the Act, we are conducting
this changed circumstances review based upon the information contained
in Yongjia's submissions.\12\ In making a successor-in-interest
determination, the Department typically examines several factors
including, but not limited to, changes in: (1) Management; (2)
production facilities; (3) supplier relationships; and (4) customer
base.\13\ While no single factor or combination of factors will
necessarily be dispositive, the Department generally will consider the
new company to be the successor to the predecessor if the resulting
operations of the successor are not materially dissimilar to that of
its predecessor.\14\ Thus, if the record demonstrates that, with
respect to the production and sale of the subject merchandise, the new
company operates as the same business entity as the predecessor
company, the Department may assign the new company the cash deposit
rate of its predecessor.\15\ For a full description of the methodology
underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of the Changed Circumstances Review
Based on the evidence reviewed, we preliminarily determine that
Shanfu II is not the successor-in-interest to Shanfu I. Specifically,
we find that material changes occurred after Shanfu I dissolved and
Shanfu II was registered. These were changes in management, business
scope, production facilities, supplier relationships, and ownership/
legal structure with respect to the production and sale of the subject
merchandise.\16\ Thus, we preliminarily determine that Shanfu II does
not operate as the same business entity as Shanfu I with respect to the
subject merchandise. A list of topics discussed in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum appears in the Appendix to this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Department upholds these preliminary results in the final
results, Yongjia and Shanfu will be assigned the cash deposit rate
currently assigned to the PRC-wide entity with respect to the subject
merchandise (i.e., the $4.71 per kilogram cash deposit rate currently
assigned to the PRC-wide entity).\17\ If these preliminary results are
adopted in the final results of this changed circumstances review, we
will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation
of entries of fresh garlic made by Shanfu II and exported by Yongjia,
effective on the publication date of the final results, at the cash
deposit rate assigned to the PRC-wide entity.
