Commerce issued corresponding cash deposit instructions to CBP in October 2015. On October 5, 2015, the CIT issued a confidential opinion sustaining Commerce’s Remand Results in the Jiangsu Jiasheng litigation, including Commerce’s determination assigning Sumec Hardware the China-wide rate.6 Commerce published the Timken Notice following the final CIT judgment in Jiangsu Jiasheng III on November 23, 2015.7 In the amended final determination, Commerce set the cash deposit rate for Sumec Hardware, now part of the China-wide entity, at 238.95 percent.8 Commerce set the effective date for the Timken Notice as October 15, 2015, which was the tenth day after the CIT’s decision.9 3 Jiangsu Jiasheng Photovoltaic Tech.

VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:00 Dec 27, 2019 Jkt 250001 On December 30, 2015, in accordance with Jiangsu Jiasheng III and the associated Timken Notice, Commerce issued amended cash deposit instructions to CBP, notifying CBP that Sumec Hardware was no longer eligible for a separate rate. Commerce instructed CBP to collect cash deposits at the China-wide entity rate, 238.95 percent, for shipments of subject merchandise produced by Phono Solar Technology Co., Ltd. and exported by Sumec Hardware that entered, or were withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after ‘‘10/15/2015,’’ the tenth day after the Court’s October 5, 2015 decision in Jiangsu Jiasheng III. On March 14, 2016, because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity or of Sumec Hardware for the period December 1, 2014 through November 30, 2015, Commerce issued automatic liquidation instructions to CBP. Commerce instructed CBP to liquidate entries during the specified period at the cash deposit in effect on the date of entry. For Sumec Hardware, this rate was 238.95 percent (i.e., the rate that resulted from this Court’s decision in Jiangsu Jiasheng III). On September 6, 2019, in a separate challenge—Sumecht NA, Inc. v. United States—the CIT held that Commerce erred in setting the effective date of the Timken Notice, amended cash deposit instructions, and automatic instructions to thirty-nine days before publication of the Timken Notice.10 The CIT directed Commerce to ‘‘reliquidate’’ Sumec Hardware’s entries in a manner consistent with its opinion.11 Implementation of Court Decision Consistent with the CIT’s final judgment in Sumecht, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate shipments of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the China produced by Phono Solar Technology Co., Ltd., exported by Sumec Hardware Tools Co., Ltd., and imported by Sumecht NA, doing business as Sumec North America, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 15, 2015 through November 22, 2015, at the separate rate implemented with respect to the AD investigation, as revised by 10 Sumecht NA, Inc. v. United States, 399 F. Supp. 3d 1370, 1379 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2019) (Sumecht). 11 Id. CBP has not yet liquidated the affected entries. The liquidation of the entries has been enjoined as a result of an injunction that is in place with respect to litigation before the CIT involving a corresponding countervailing duty proceeding.
