Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs
filed by parties in this review are
addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is incorporated
herein by reference. A list of the issues
which any party raised, and to which
we respond in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, follows in the appendix
to this notice. The Issues and 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 is
available to all parties in the Central
Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main
Department of Commerce building. In
addition, a complete version of the
Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly on the internet at

Decision Memorandum and the
electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in
content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we made certain changes
to the treatment of Guangdong Xin Wei
Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei
Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin
Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd.12
Final Determination of No Shipments
We find that a certification of no
shipments on behalf of Guangdong Xin
Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin
Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and
Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. satisfied
the requirements of section
351.213(d)(3) of Commerce’s regulations
that there were no entries, exports, or
sales of the subject merchandise during
the POR. Therefore, we determine that
Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum
Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum
Company Limited, and Xin Wei
Aluminum Co. Ltd. made no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject
merchandise during the POR covered by
this administrative review.
Consequently, these companies’
separate rates remain unchanged from
the last administrative review.
China-Wide Entity
For the purposes of the final results of
this administrative review, we continue
to find that the following entities are
part of the China-wide entity because
they failed to submit both a response to
Commerce’s quantity and value
questionnaire and information to
establish eligibility for a separate rate:

Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.14 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity in the
instant review, the entity is not under
review, and the entity’s current rate, i.e.,
86.01 percent,15 is not subject to change.
Adjustments for Countervailable
Subsidies
Because no company established
eligibility for an adjustment under
section 777A(f) of the Act for
countervailable domestic subsidies, for
these final results, Commerce did not
make an adjustment pursuant to section
777A(f) of the Act for countervailable
domestic subsidies for separate-rate
recipients. Furthermore, because the
China-wide entity is not under review,
we made no adjustment for
countervailable export subsidies for the
China-wide entity pursuant to section
772(c)(1)(C) of the Act.
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce
will determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of review in the Federal
Register. Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice in non-market
economy (NME) cases, if Commerce

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon

administrative review for all shipments
of the subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided for by
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not

in a prior segment of this proceeding,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter-specific rate published for
the most-recently completed segment of
this proceeding in which the exporter
was reviewed; (2) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that established for the China-wide
entity, which is 86.01 percent; and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter with the subject merchandise.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

notification of the return or destruction
of APO materials or conversion to

requested. Failure to comply with the
regulations and the terms of an APO is
a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties

Notification to Importers
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 and/or
countervailing duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries
during this POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.

Determination of No Shipments; 2016-2017
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on aluminum
extrusions from the People's Republic of China (China) for the period
of review (POR) May 1, 2016, through April 30, 2017. We determine that
25 of the companies for which an administrative review was requested,
and not withdrawn, failed to demonstrate eligibility for a separate
rate; therefore, each is part of the China-wide entity. We also
determine that Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei
Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. made no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during the POR
covered by this administrative review.
DATES: Applicable July 27, 2018.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs filed by parties in this
review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is
incorporated herein by reference. A list of the issues which any party
raised, and to which we respond in the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
follows in the appendix to this notice. The Issues and 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 is available to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Department
of Commerce building. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, and for the reasons
explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we made certain
changes to the treatment of Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co.,
Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co.
Ltd.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum, at Comment 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination of No Shipments
We find that a certification of no shipments on behalf of Guangdong
Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin Wei Aluminum Company Limited,
and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. satisfied the requirements of section
351.213(d)(3) of Commerce's regulations that there were no entries,
exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during the POR. Therefore,
we determine that Guangdong Xin Wei Aluminum Products Co., Ltd., Xin
Wei Aluminum Company Limited, and Xin Wei Aluminum Co. Ltd. made no
entries, exports, or sales of the subject merchandise during the POR
covered by this administrative review. Consequently, these companies'
separate rates remain unchanged from the last administrative review.
China-Wide Entity
For the purposes of the final results of this administrative
review, we continue to find that the following entities are part of the
China-wide entity because they failed to submit both a response to
Commerce's quantity and value questionnaire and information to
establish eligibility for a separate rate: (1) Activa International
Inc.; (2) Atlas Integrated Manufacturing Ltd.; (3) Belton (Asia)
Development Ltd.; (4) Belton (Asia) Development Limited; (5) Changzhou
Tenglong Auto Parts Co., Ltd.; (6) Changzhou Tenglong Auto Accessories
Manufacturing Co. Ltd.; (7) Changzhou Tenglong Auto Parts Co Ltd; (8)
China Square; (9) China Square Industrial Co.; (10) China Square
Industrial Ltd; (11) Daya Hardware Co Ltd; (12) ETLA Technology (Wuxi)
Co. Ltd; (13) Global Hi-Tek Precision Co. Ltd; (14) Guangdong Whirlpool
Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd.; (15) Guangdong Zhongya Aluminium
Company Limited; (16) Henan New Kelong Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd.;
[[Page 35616]]
(17) Liaoning Zhongwang Group Co., Ltd.; (18) Liaoyang Zhongwang
Aluminum Profile Co. Ltd.; (19) Midea International Training Co., Ltd.;
(20) Midea International Trading Co., Ltd.; (21) Shenyang Yuanda
Aluminum Industry Engineering Co. Ltd.; (22) Sincere Profit Limited;
(23) Summit Heat Sinks Metal Co, Ltd; (24) USA Worldwide Door
Components (PINGHU) Co., Ltd.; (25) Whirlpool Canada L.P.; and (26)
Whirlpool Microwave Products Development Ltd.\13\

\13\ See Preliminary Results, 83 FR at 5606.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\14\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in
the instant review, the entity is not under review, and the entity's
current rate, i.e., 86.01 percent,\15\ is not subject to change.

Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

2013).

China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;
2015-2016, 82 FR 52265, 52267 (November 13, 2017).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adjustments for Countervailable Subsidies
Because no company established eligibility for an adjustment under
section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies, for
these final results, Commerce did not make an adjustment pursuant to
section 777A(f) of the Act for countervailable domestic subsidies for
separate-rate recipients. Furthermore, because the China-wide entity is
not under review, we made no adjustment for countervailable export
subsidies for the China-wide entity pursuant to section 772(c)(1)(C) of
the Act.
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after
the date of publication of the final results of review in the Federal
Register. Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice in non-market
economy (NME) cases, if Commerce determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under the exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's
rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\16\

of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 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 exporter-
specific rate published for the most-recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the exporter was reviewed; (2) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that
established for the China-wide entity, which is 86.01 percent; and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter with the subject merchandise. These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
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 and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
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 the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing notice of these final results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and
sections 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5) of Commerce's regulations.
