For each individually-examined respondent in this review (i.e., CPZ/SGBC) which has a weighted-average dumping margin which is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer’s examined sales to the total entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).12 Where either the respondent’s weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem dumping margin is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For the respondents which were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review and which qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the dumping margin assigned to the nonexamined separate-rate companies in the 2012–2013 administrative review of TRBs from the PRC.13 For the final results, if we continue to treat Yantai CMC as part of the PRCwide entity, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 92.84 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by Yantai CMC. 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 11 See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). these preliminary results, the Department applied the assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012). The Department will limit the application of this assessment rate to CPZ/SKF’s entries of subject merchandise because SGBC’s entries were not subject to the antidumping duty order on TRBs during the POR.

These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers This notice also serves as a preliminary 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. We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review in accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4). 14 For a full discussion of this practice, see NonMarket Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Based on a request from Qingshui, the Department initiated a CCR on 
Qingshui to determine whether it is the successor-in-interest to 
Cangshan Qingshui, for purposes of determining antidumping duties due 
as a result of the Order. The Department preliminarily determined that 
Qingshui is the successor-in-interest to Cangshan Qingshui and is 
entitled to its cash deposit rate with respect to entries of 
merchandise subject to the AD order on fresh garlic from the PRC.\3\ 
The Department provided interested parties 30 days from the date of 
publication of the preliminary results to submit comments or request a 
public hearing in accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii). No parties 
submitted comments or requests for a public hearing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are all grades of garlic, whole 
or separated into constituent cloves, whether or not peeled, fresh, 
chilled, frozen, water or other neutral substance, but not prepared or 
preserved by the addition of other ingredients or heat processing. The 
differences between grades are based on color, size, sheathing, and 
level of decay. The scope of the order does not include the following: 
(a) Garlic that has been mechanically harvested and that is primarily, 
but not exclusively, destined for non-fresh use; or (b) garlic that has 
been specially prepared and cultivated prior to planting and then 
harvested and otherwise prepared for use as seed. The subject 
merchandise is used principally as a food product and for seasoning. 
The subject garlic is currently classifiable under subheadings: 
0703.20.0000, 0703.20.0010, 0703.20.0015, 0703.20.0020, 0703.20.0090, 
0710.80.7060, 0710.80.9750, 0711.90.6000, 0711.90.6500, 2005.90.9500, 
2005.90.9700, 2005.99.9700, and of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 
the United States (HTSUS).
    Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and 
customs purposes, our written description of the scope of the order is 
dispositive. In order to be excluded from the order, garlic entered 
under the HTSUS subheadings listed above that is (1) mechanically 
harvested and primarily, but not exclusively, destined for non-fresh 
use or (2) specially prepared and cultivated prior to planting and then 
harvested and otherwise prepared for use as seed must be accompanied by 
declarations to U.S. Customs and Border Protection to that effect.

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review

    Because no party submitted comments opposing the Department's 
Preliminary Results, and the record contains no other information or 
evidence that calls into question the Preliminary Results, the 
Department determines that Qingshui is the successor-in-interest to 
Cangshan Qingshui.

Instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection

    As a result of this determination, the Department finds that 
Qingshui is entitled to the cash deposit rate previously assigned to 
Cangshan Qingshui as determined in the new shipper review of Cangshan 
Qingshui.\4\ Consequently, the Department will instruct U.S. Customs 
and Border Protection to collect estimated antidumping duties for all 
shipments of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Qingshui, 
and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 
the publication date of this notice in the Federal Register at $3.06 
per kilogram, which is the current antidumping duty cash deposit rate 
for Cangshan Qingshui.\5\ This cash deposit requirement shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

the return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial 
protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the

    We are issuing and publishing these final results in accordance
