For the final results of the new

determines that a dumping margin of

produced and exported by Hubei
Yuesheng Aquatic Products Co., Ltd.
and a dumping margin of 26.10 percent
exists for merchandise produced and
exported by Weishan Hongda Aquatic

September 1, 2013, through August 31,
2014.
Assessment
The Department will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by these
reviews.6 In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we have calculated
importer-specific (or customer-specific)
assessment rates for merchandise
subject to these reviews.
For these final results, we divided the
total dumping margins (calculated as
the difference between normal value
and export price) for each of the
respondents’ importers or customers by
the total number of kilograms the
exporter sold to that importer or
customer. We will direct CBP to assess
the resulting per-kilogram dollar
amount against each kilogram of
merchandise in each of that importer’s/
customer’s entries during the review
period.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by
companies individually examined
during these reviews, the Department
will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the PRC-wide rate. We intend
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
15 days after the date of publication of
these final results of reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of the
administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise 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withdrawn from warehouse, for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,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate

established in the final results of the
administrative review for each exporter
as listed above, except if the rate is zero
or de minimis, then no cash deposit will
be required for that exporter; (2) for
previously investigated companies not
listed above that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
investigation; (3) for all other PRC
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the PRC-wide rate of 223.01 percent;
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 entity that supplied that non-PRC
exporter.
With respect to Hubei Yuesheng, a
respondent in the new shipper review,
the Department established a
combination cash deposit rate for this
company consistent with its practice, as
follows: (1) For subject merchandise
produced and exported by Hubei
Yuesheng the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established in the final results
of the new shipper review; (2) for
subject merchandise exported by Hubei
Yuesheng, but not produced by Hubei
Yuesheng, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3)
for subject merchandise produced by
Hubei Yuesheng, but not exported by
Hubei Yuesheng, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate applicable to the
exporter.
With respect to Hongda, a respondent
in the new shipper review, the
Department established a combination
cash deposit rate for this company
consistent with its practice, as follows:
(1) For subject merchandise produced
and exported by Hongda the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in the final results of the new shipper
review; (2) for subject merchandise
exported by Hongda, but not produced
by Hongda, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3)
for subject merchandise produced by
Hongda, but not exported by Hongda,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notifications
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 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.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction 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.
These final results of reviews are
issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv),
751(a)(3), 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR

Final Results of the Administrative Review and New Shipper Reviews
For the final results of the administrative review, we determine
that the following percentage weighted-average dumping margins exist
for the period September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted
average
Producer/exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
China Kingdom (Beijing) Import & Export Co., Ltd........ 22.16
Deyan Aquatic Products and Food Co., Ltd................ 12.04
Shanghai Ocean International International Trading Co., 17.23
Ltd....................................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the final results of the new shipper reviews, the Department
determines that a dumping margin of 42.45 percent exists for
merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Yuesheng Aquatic Products
Co., Ltd. and a dumping margin of 26.10 percent exists for merchandise
produced and exported by Weishan Hongda Aquatic Food Co., Ltd.,
covering the period September 1, 2013, through August 31, 2014.
Assessment
The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by these reviews.\6\ In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we have calculated importer-
specific (or customer-specific) assessment rates for merchandise
subject to these reviews.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For these final results, we divided the total dumping margins
(calculated as the difference between normal value and export price)
for each of the respondents' importers or customers by the total number
of kilograms the exporter sold to that importer or customer. We will
direct CBP to assess the resulting per-kilogram dollar amount against
each kilogram of merchandise in each of that importer's/customer's
entries during the review period.
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually examined during these reviews, the
Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide
rate. We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after
the date of publication of these final results of reviews.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of the administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise 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, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate
[[Page 21842]]
established in the final results of the administrative review for each
exporter as listed above, except if the rate is zero or de minimis,
then no cash deposit will be required for that exporter; (2) for
previously investigated companies not listed above that have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific
rate published for the investigation; (3) for all other PRC exporters
of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of
223.01 percent; 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 entity that supplied that
non-PRC exporter.
With respect to Hubei Yuesheng, a respondent in the new shipper
review, the Department established a combination cash deposit rate for
this company consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For subject
merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Yuesheng the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the final results of the new
shipper review; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Hubei Yuesheng,
but not produced by Hubei Yuesheng, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for subject merchandise produced
by Hubei Yuesheng, but not exported by Hubei Yuesheng, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
With respect to Hongda, a respondent in the new shipper review, the
Department established a combination cash deposit rate for this company
consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For subject merchandise
produced and exported by Hongda the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established in the final results of the new shipper review; (2) for
subject merchandise exported by Hongda, but not produced by Hongda, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide entity; and (3) for
subject merchandise produced by Hongda, but not exported by Hongda, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter.
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these
final results within five days of the date of publication of this
notice in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Notifications
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 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.
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the destruction 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.
These final results of reviews are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B)(iv), 751(a)(3), 777(i)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h), 351.214 and 351.221(b)(4).
