Assessment Rates
Commerce shall 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, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b).6 Because we calculated
a zero margin for JBL Canada in the final
results of this review, we intend to
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.
Commerce intends to issue the
appropriate assessment instructions to
CBP 41 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review, in accordance with 19 CFR
356.8(a).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of these final results for all
shipments of citric acid and certain
citrate salts from Canada entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date as provided by section 751(a)(2) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for JBL
Canada will be zero; (2) for merchandise
exported by manufacturers or exporters
not covered in this review but covered
in a completed prior segment of the
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original investigation but
the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the
most recently completed segment for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other

manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 23.21 percent, the allothers rate established in the Order.
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.305(a)(3), this notice also serves as
a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under the APO,
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 terms of an APO is a
violation subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We intend to issue and publish these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on chlorinated
isocyanurates (chlorinated isos) from
the People’s Republic of China (China).
The period of review (POR) is June 1,
2017 through May 31, 2018.1 This
administrative review covers two
mandatory respondents, Heze Huayi
Chemical Co. Ltd. (Heze Huayi) and
Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co. Ltd.
(Kangtai). Commerce preliminarily
determines that sales of subject
merchandise by Heze Huayi and Kangtai
have been made at prices below normal
value (NV).
Commerce exercised its discretion to
toll all deadlines affected by the partial
federal government closure from
December 22, 2018 through the
resumption of operations on January 29,
2019.2 This extended the deadline for
the preliminary results to April 11,
2019. Commerce extended the time
limit for the preliminary results on
April 10, 2019, which fully extended
the deadline until August 9, 2019.3
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
chlorinated isos, which are derivatives
of cyanuric acid, described as
chlorinated s-triazine triones.4

Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this
review, Commerce shall determine, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties
on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.10 Commerce intends to
issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the
final results of this review.
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- or customer-specific
assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any
individually examined respondent
whose weighted-average dumping
margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will calculate
importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount
of dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales and the total entered
value of sales.11 We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific
assessment rate is above de minimis.
Where either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,
we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales database submitted by an
exporter individually examined during
this review, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate such entries at the
China-wide rate. Additionally, if
Commerce determines that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.12
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
the exporters listed above, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established

(except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
a zero cash deposit rate will be required
for that company); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Chinese and
non-Chinese exporters not listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing producer/exporter-specific
combination rate published for the most
recent period; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the China-wide rate of 285.63
percent; 13 and (4) 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 also serves as a 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 Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties

Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative
review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues
raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these
preliminary results in the Federal Register unless extended, pursuant
to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce shall
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this
review.\10\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15
days after the date of publication of the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating
importer- or customer-specific assessment rates for the merchandise
subject to this review. For any individually examined respondent whose
weighted-average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on
the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales and the total entered value of sales.\11\
We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review when the importer-specific assessment
rate is above de minimis. Where either the respondent's weighted-
average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific
assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database
submitted by an exporter individually examined during this review,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide
rate. Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that exporter's case number will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.\12\

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 the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established
[[Page 42893]]
in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific
combination rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-
wide rate of 285.63 percent; \13\ and (4) 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 also serves as a 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19
CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: August 9, 2019.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
