Panasonic Eco Solutions Solar New

in Buffalo, New York. The notification
conforming to the requirements of the
regulations of the FTZ Board (15 CFR

2018.
PESSNY already has authority to
produce crystalline silicon photovoltaic
(CSPV) solar panels/modules within
Subzone 23E. The current request
would add a finished product (CSPV
cells) to the scope of authority. Pursuant
to 15 CFR 400.14(b), additional FTZ
authority would be limited to the
specific finished product described in
the submitted notification and
subsequently authorized by the FTZ
Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt PESSNY from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
materials/components in the existing
scope of authority used in export
production of CSPV cells. On its
domestic sales, for the foreign-status
materials/components (primarily silicon
wafers and silver paste) in the existing
scope of authority (duty rates range
between duty-free and 5.8%), PESSNY
would be able to choose the duty rate
during customs entry procedures that
applies to CSPV cells (duty free).
PESSNY would be able to avoid duty on
foreign-status components which
become scrap/waste. Customs duties
also could possibly be deferred or

equipment. The request indicates that

Background
On April 16, 2018, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of an administrative
review of the antidumping duty order
on uncovered innerspring units from the
People’s Republic of China.1 Commerce
initiated a review with respect to two
companies: Comfort Coil Technology
Sdn. Bhd. (Comfort Coil) and Foshan
Nanhai Jolyspring (Foshan Nanhai).2 On
May 11, 2018, Commerce issued its
questionnaire to Comfort Coil and
Foshan Nanhai.3 The questionnaire for
Comfort Coil was undeliverable,4 and
based on an alternate address provided
by the petitioner,5 on July 5, 2018, we
resent the questionnaire to Comfort
Coil.6 We confirmed delivery of the
questionnaires to both respondents.7
On July 11, 2018, Comfort Coil stated
it had ‘‘no sales, exports, or entries of
subject merchandise during the period
of review.’’ 8 On July 30, 2018,
Commerce issued a no shipment inquiry
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) with respect to Comfort Coil, and
CBP reported no entries for the
company during the POR.9 Foshan
Nanhai never responded to the
questionnaire, nor did it contact
Commerce to state that it was unable to
respond or to request an extension of
time to do so.
