results of review, we are adopting the
decisions in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, and continue to find that
the four companies listed above had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
Because no party requested a review
of the China-wide entity, we are not
conducting a review of that entity 5 and
have not changed the antidumping duty
cash deposit rate for the China-wide
entity. The existing antidumping duty
cash deposit rate for the China-wide
entity is 216.01 percent.

determined, and U.S. Customs and

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 publication date of the final
results of this review. Pursuant to
Commerce’s practice in non-market
economy cases, if there are any
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR under the
case numbers of the four companies that
claimed no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, they will
be liquidated at the China-wide rate.6
Cash Deposit Requirements
