Final Results of the Changed
Circumstances Reviews
Because no interested party submitted
comments on, and the record contains
no information or evidence that calls
into question, the Preliminary Results,
the Department adopts the analysis from
the Preliminary Results and Preliminary
Decision Memorandum and continues
to find that Q CELLS Qidong is the
successor-in-interest to SolarOne
Qidong with respect to the AD orders on
solar cells and solar products from the
PRC, and that Q CELLS Hong Kong is
the successor-in-interest to SolarOne
Hong Kong with respect to the AD order
on solar products from the PRC.
Therefore, Q CELLS Qidong is entitled
to the AD cash deposit rate of SolarOne
Qidong for purposes of the AD orders on
solar cells and solar products from the
PRC, and Q CELLS Hong Kong is
entitled to the AD cash deposit rate of
SolarOne Hong Kong for purposes of the
AD order on solar products from the
PRC.
Instructions to U.S. Customs and
Border Protection
Based on these final results, we
intend to instruct U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) to collect
estimated duties for all shipments of
solar cells from the PRC and solar
products from the PRC exported and
produced by Q CELLS Qidong and
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,

instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the
weighted-average amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where
appropriate for export subsidies and estimated
domestic subsidy pass-through. The 30.06 rate is
the adjusted rate.
12 SolarOne Hong Kong and SolarOne Qidong’s
separate rates in both orders are combination rates.
In the solar products antidumping duty proceeding,
SolarOne Hong Kong’s separate rate is classified
under case number A–570–010–017, where
SolarOne Hong Kong is identified as the exporter
and SolarOne Qidong is identified as the
manufacturer. In the same proceeding, SolarOne
Qidong has a separate rate classified under case
number A–570–010–016, where SolarOne Qidong is
identified as the exporter and manufacturer. In the
solar cells proceeding, SolarOne Hong Kong does
not have a separate rate and SolarOne Qidong does
have a separate rate, classified under case number
A–570–979–014, where SolarOne Qidong is
identified as the exporter and manufacturer. In
updating these combination rates, we intend to
revise both the names of the exporters and
manufacturer consistent with our final
determination that Q CELLS Hong Kong and Q
CELLS Qidong are the successors-in-interest to
SolarOne Hong Kong and SolarOne Qidong,
respectively.

cells proceeding, SolarOne Hong Kong does not have a separate rate
and SolarOne Qidong does have a separate rate, classified under case
number A-570-979-014, where SolarOne Qidong is identified as the
exporter and manufacturer. In updating these combination rates, we
intend to revise both the names of the exporters and manufacturer
consistent with our final determination that Q CELLS Hong Kong and Q
CELLS Qidong are the successors-in-interest to SolarOne Hong Kong
and SolarOne Qidong, respectively.

The Department furthermore intends to instruct CBP to collect
estimated duties for all shipments of solar products from the PRC

entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the

AD cash deposit rate for SolarOne Hong Kong (i.e., 30.06 percent).\13\
These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Department indicated that it would instruct CBP to require a cash
deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price, adjusted where appropriate for export
subsidies and estimated domestic subsidy pass-through. The 30.06
rate is the adjusted rate.
