SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 16, 2019, Commerce
published the preliminary results of the
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain
magnesia carbon bricks from the
People’s Republic of China (China) for
the period September 1, 2017 through
August 31, 2018.1 We invited parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. No
party submitted comments.
Accordingly, the final results remain
unchanged from the Preliminary
Results.
Scope of the Order
The scope of the Order covers certain
magnesia carbon bricks.2 For a complete
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
and Status of the China-Wide Entity
Commerce preliminarily found that:
(1) Fedmet Resources Corporation
(Fedmet); and (2) Fengchi Imp. and Exp.
Co., Ltd., Fengchi Imp. and Exp. Co.,
Ltd. of Haicheng City, Fengchi Mining
Co., Ltd. of Haicheng City, and Fengchi
Refractories Co., of Haicheng City
(collectively, Fengchi) had no
reviewable entries, shipments, or sales
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. As noted in
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we
received no shipment statements from
Fedmet and Fengchi, and these
statements were consistent with the
information we received from U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).3

People’s Republic of China; Preliminary Results of
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review;

(Preliminary Results); and Memorandum, ‘‘Decision
Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the

No party commented on our
preliminary no-shipment finding with
respect to Fedmet and Fengchi, and no
party submitted record evidence that
calls this finding into question.
Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to find that Fedmet and
Fengchi did not have any reviewable
entries, shipments, or sales of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR.
With the exceptions of Fedmet and
Fengchi, we find all other companies for
which a review was requested to be part
of the China-wide entity because they
failed to file no-shipment statements,
separate rate applications, or separate
rate certifications. The following
companies, accordingly, are part of the
China-wide entity: Liaoning Zhongmei
High Temperature Material Co., Ltd.,
Liaoning Zhongmei Holding Co., Ltd.,
RHI Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd.,
Shenglong Refractories Co., Ltd.,
Yingkou Heping Samwha Minerals, Co.,
Ltd., and Yingkou Heping Sanhua
Materials Co., Ltd.4 Because no party
requested a review of the China-wide
entity, and Commerce no longer
considers the China-wide entity as an
exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews, we did not
conduct a review of the China-wide
entity. The rate previously established
for the China-wide entity is 236.00
percent and is not subject to change as
a result of this review.5
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we
have determined that Fedmet and
Fengchi had no shipments of subject
merchandise and, therefore, pursuant to
Commerce’s assessment practice, any
suspended entries that entered under
their case numbers will be liquidated at
the China-wide entity rate.6
For all remaining companies subject
to this review, which are part of the
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate their entries at the current
rate for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
236.00 percent). Commerce intends to
issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
subject merchandise from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of this notice, 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, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently completed period;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the China-wide rate
of 236.00 percent; and (3) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the Chinese
exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect
until further notice.
Notification to Importers
lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES
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
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.

antidumping duty order on
monosodium glutamate (MSG) from the
People’s Republic of China (China)
covering the period of review (POR)
November 1, 2017 through October 31,

that that the use of facts otherwise
available is warranted with respect to
the China-wide entity.

Administrative Protective Orders
Background
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return or destruction of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Timely written notification of the return

entity.3 The China-wide entity failed to
submit a response to Commerce’s Q&V
questionnaire by the established
deadline of September 20, 2019.
Accordingly, on January 17, 2020,
Commerce issued a Post-Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, in which it
preliminarily applied facts available
with an adverse inference (AFA) to the
China-wide entity, pursuant to sections
776(a) and 776(b) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), because the
China-wide entity failed to cooperate to
the best of its ability by failing to
provide necessary information
requested by Commerce.4 On February
3, 2020, the petitioner timely submitted
its case brief agreeing with the finding
and results of Commerce’s PostPreliminary Decision Memorandum.5
No other case or rebuttal briefs were
submitted in this review.
On December 26, 2019, in accordance
with section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act,
Commerce extended the deadline for
issuing the final results until February
26, 2020.6
Scope of the Order
The scope of the Order covers MSG,
whether or not blended or in solution
with other products.7 For a complete
description of the scope of the Order,
see the Preliminary Results.8
Final Results of the Review
Commerce preliminarily determined
that none of the 28 companies subject to
this review demonstrated eligibility for
separate rate status. Thus, they were
found to be part of the China-wide
entity.9 After amending the initiation of
this review, and as explained in the

Final Determination of No Shipments and Status of the China-Wide Entity
Commerce preliminarily found that: (1) Fedmet Resources Corporation
(Fedmet); and (2) Fengchi Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd., Fengchi Imp. and
Exp. Co., Ltd. of Haicheng City, Fengchi Mining Co., Ltd. of Haicheng
City, and Fengchi Refractories Co., of Haicheng City (collectively,
Fengchi) had no reviewable entries, shipments, or sales of subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR. As noted in
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we received no shipment statements
from Fedmet and Fengchi, and these statements were consistent with the
information we received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
No party commented on our preliminary no-shipment finding with
respect to Fedmet and Fengchi, and no party submitted record evidence
that calls this finding into question. Therefore, for these final
results, we continue to find that Fedmet and Fengchi did not have any
reviewable entries, shipments, or sales of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
With the exceptions of Fedmet and Fengchi, we find all other
companies for which a review was requested to be part of the China-wide
entity because they failed to file no-shipment statements, separate
rate applications, or separate rate certifications. The following
companies, accordingly, are part of the China-wide entity: Liaoning
Zhongmei High Temperature Material Co., Ltd., Liaoning Zhongmei Holding
Co., Ltd., RHI Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd., Shenglong Refractories
Co., Ltd., Yingkou Heping Samwha Minerals, Co., Ltd., and Yingkou
Heping Sanhua Materials Co., Ltd.\4\ Because no party requested a
review of the China-wide entity, and Commerce no longer considers the
China-wide entity as an exporter conditionally subject to
administrative reviews, we did not conduct a review of the China-wide
entity. The rate previously established for the China-wide entity is
236.00 percent and is not subject to change as a result of this
review.\5\

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from

Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
