with extremely high rates of morbidity
and mortality. A list of regions where
ASF exists or is reasonably believed to
exist is maintained on the APHIS
website at https://www.aphis.usda.gov/
aphis/ourfocus/animalhealth/animaland-animal-product-importinformation/animal-health-status-ofregions/.
In a report dated January 15, 2019, the
veterinary authorities of Mongolia
reported to the OIE confirmation of an
ASF outbreak on January 10, 2019.
Therefore, in response to this outbreak,
APHIS has added Mongolia to the list of
regions where ASF exists or is
reasonably believed to exist.
Although the importation of most
swine commodities from Mongolia into
the United States is already restricted
based on that country’s classical swine
fever, foot-and-mouth disease, and
swine vesicular disease status, APHIS
has determined that it is necessary to
impose ASF-related restrictions on the
importation of pork and pork products
from Mongolia into the United States.
As a result, pork and pork products
from Mongolia, including casings, are
subject to APHIS import restrictions
designed to mitigate the risk of ASF
introduction into the United States.

Scope of the Order
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is magnesium
metal from China, which includes
primary and secondary alloy
magnesium metal, regardless of
chemistry, raw material source, form,
shape, or size. Magnesium is a metal or
alloy containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium. Primary
magnesium is produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Secondary
magnesium is produced by recycling
magnesium-based scrap into magnesium
metal. The magnesium covered by this
order includes blends of primary and
secondary magnesium.
The subject merchandise includes the
following alloy magnesium metal
products made from primary and/or
secondary magnesium including,
without limitation, magnesium cast into
ingots, slabs, rounds, billets, and other
shapes; magnesium ground, chipped,
crushed, or machined into rasping,
granules, turnings, chips, powder,
briquettes, and other shapes; and
products that contain 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent,
magnesium, by weight, and that have
been entered into the United States as
conforming to an ‘‘ASTM Specification
for Magnesium Alloy’’ 2 and are thus
outside the scope of the existing
antidumping orders on magnesium from
China (generally referred to as ‘‘alloy’’
magnesium).
The scope of this order excludes: (1)
All forms of pure magnesium, including
chemical combinations of magnesium
and other material(s) in which the pure
magnesium content is 50 percent or
greater, but less than 99.8 percent, by
weight, that do not conform to an
‘‘ASTM Specification for Magnesium
Alloy’’; 3 (2) magnesium that is in liquid
or molten form; and (3) mixtures
containing 90 percent or less
magnesium in granular or powder form
by weight and one or more of certain
non-magnesium granular materials to
make magnesium-based reagent
2 The meaning of this term is the same as that
used by the American Society for Testing and
Materials in its Annual Book for ASTM Standards:
Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.
3 The material is already covered by existing
antidumping orders. See Notice of Antidumping
Duty Orders: Pure Magnesium from the People’s
Republic of China, the Russian Federation and
Ukraine; Notice of Amended Final Determination of
Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Antidumping Duty

aluminate, soda ash, hydrocarbons,
graphite, coke, silicon, rare earth
metals/mischmetal, cryolite, silica/fly
ash, magnesium oxide, periclase,
ferroalloys, dolomite lime, and
colemanite.4
The merchandise subject to this order
is classifiable under items 8104.19.00,
and 8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS items are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the
merchandise is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that TMI and TMM had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
and, therefore, no reviewable
transactions, during the POR.5 As we
have not received any information to
contradict our preliminary finding, we
continue to find that TMI and TMM did
not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and intend
to issue appropriate instructions that are
consistent with our ‘‘automatic
assessment’’ clarification, for these final
results.6
Assessment Rates
Commerce determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of the final
results of this review.
Additionally, consistent with
Commerce’s refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market
economy cases, for TMI and TMM, the
4 This third exclusion for magnesium-based
reagent mixtures is based on the exclusion for
reagent mixtures in the 2000–2001 investigations of
magnesium from China, Israel, and Russia. See

Value: Pure Magnesium in Granular Form from the
People’s Republic of China, 66 FR 49345
(September 27, 2001); Final Determination of Sales
at Less Than Fair Value: Pure Magnesium from
Israel, 66 FR 49349 (September 27, 2001); and Final
Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value:
Pure Magnesium from the Russian Federation, 66
FR 49347 (September 27, 2001). These mixtures are
not magnesium alloys, because they are not
combined in liquid form and cast into the same
ingot.

determined had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR,
any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from these companies (i.e.,
made under TMI’s case number at TMI’s
rate or made under TMM’s name) will
be liquidated at the China-wide rate.7
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of
administrative review for shipments of
subject merchandise from China
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
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that
received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, including
TMI, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the existing exporter-specific rate;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate,
including TMM, the cash deposit rate
will be the China-wide rate of 141.49
percent; 8 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(s)
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter.
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 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
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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). Timely

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this review
in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B)
of the Act. We calculated, where
applicable, export price and constructed
export price for the mandatory
respondents Deosen Biochemical
(Ordos) Ltd. and Deosen Biochemical
Ltd. (collectively Deosen), and Meihua
Group International Trading (Hong
Kong) Limited, Langfang Meihua
Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and Xinjiang
Meihua Amino Acid Co., Ltd.
(collectively Meihua) in accordance
with section 772 of the Act. Because
China is an NME country within the
meaning of section 771(18) of the Act,
we calculated NV in accordance with
section 773(c) of the Act.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our results, see

Single Entity Treatment
Consistent with prior segments of this
proceeding, we have continued to treat
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. and

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The product covered by this antidumping duty order is magnesium
metal from China, which includes primary and secondary alloy magnesium
metal, regardless of chemistry, raw material source, form, shape, or
size. Magnesium is a metal or alloy containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium. Primary magnesium is produced by decomposing raw
materials into magnesium metal. Secondary magnesium is produced by
recycling magnesium-based scrap into magnesium metal. The magnesium
covered by this order includes blends of primary and secondary
magnesium.
The subject merchandise includes the following alloy magnesium
metal products made from primary and/or secondary magnesium including,
without limitation, magnesium cast into ingots, slabs, rounds, billets,
and other shapes; magnesium ground, chipped, crushed, or machined into
rasping, granules, turnings, chips, powder, briquettes, and other
shapes; and products that contain 50 percent or greater, but less than
99.8 percent, magnesium, by weight, and that have been entered into the
United States as conforming to an ``ASTM Specification for Magnesium
Alloy'' \2\ and are thus outside the scope of the existing antidumping
orders on magnesium from China (generally referred to as ``alloy''
magnesium).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The meaning of this term is the same as that used by the
American Society for Testing and Materials in its Annual Book for
ASTM Standards: Volume 01.02 Aluminum and Magnesium Alloys.

The scope of this order excludes: (1) All forms of pure magnesium,
including chemical combinations of magnesium and other material(s) in
which the pure magnesium content is 50 percent or greater, but less
than 99.8 percent, by weight, that do not conform to an ``ASTM
Specification for Magnesium Alloy''; \3\ (2) magnesium that is in
liquid or molten form; and (3) mixtures containing 90 percent or less
magnesium in granular or powder form by weight and one or more of
certain non-magnesium granular materials to make magnesium-based
reagent mixtures, including lime, calcium metal, calcium silicon,
calcium carbide, calcium carbonate, carbon, slag coagulants, fluorspar,
nephaline syenite, feldspar, alumina (Al203), calcium aluminate, soda
ash, hydrocarbons, graphite, coke, silicon, rare earth metals/
mischmetal, cryolite, silica/fly ash, magnesium oxide, periclase,
ferroalloys, dolomite lime, and colemanite.\4\

\4\ This third exclusion for magnesium-based reagent mixtures is
based on the exclusion for reagent mixtures in the 2000-2001
investigations of magnesium from China, Israel, and Russia. See
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Pure Magnesium
in Granular Form from the People's Republic of China, 66 FR 49345
(September 27, 2001); Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value: Pure Magnesium from Israel, 66 FR 49349 (September 27, 2001);
and Final Determination of Sales at Not Less Than Fair Value: Pure
Magnesium from the Russian Federation, 66 FR 49347 (September 27,
2001). These mixtures are not magnesium alloys, because they are not
combined in liquid form and cast into the same ingot.

The merchandise subject to this order is classifiable under items
8104.19.00, and 8104.30.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS items are provided for

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that TMI and TMM
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, and, therefore, no
reviewable transactions, during the POR.\5\ As we have not received any
information to contradict our preliminary finding, we continue to find
that TMI and TMM did not have any shipments of subject merchandise
during the POR and intend to issue appropriate instructions that are
consistent with our ``automatic assessment'' clarification, for these
final results.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Preliminary Results, 84 FR at 1049.
\6\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment
Notice); see also ``Assessment Rates'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to
CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review.
Additionally, consistent with Commerce's refinement to its
assessment practice in non-market economy cases, for TMI and TMM, the
exporters under review, which we determined had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from these companies (i.e., made under TMI's case number at
TMI's rate or made under TMM's name) will be liquidated at the China-
wide rate.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment
Notice.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of administrative review for
shipments of subject merchandise from China 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 previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding,
including TMI, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing
exporter-specific rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
including TMM, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of
141.49 percent; \8\ 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(s) that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter. 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 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 occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or
[[Page 26813]]
conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure
to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
We are issuing and publishing these final results and this notice
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: June 3, 2019.
