Background
On August 5, 2019, Commerce
initiated an LTFV investigation of
imports of wind towers from Vietnam.1
The period of investigation is January 1,
2019 through June 30, 2019. On

Postponement of Final Determination
Section 735(a)(2) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(2) provide that a final
determination may be postponed until
not later than 135 days after the date of
the publication of the preliminary
determination if, in the event of an
affirmative preliminary determination, a
request for such postponement is made
by the exporters or producers who
account for a significant proportion of
exports of the subject merchandise, or in
the event of a negative preliminary
determination, a request for such
postponement is made by the petitioner.
Further, 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2) requires
that such postponement requests by
exporters be accompanied by a request
for extension of provisional measures
from a four-month period to a period of
not more than six months, in
accordance with section 733(d) of the
Act.
On February 11, 2020, CS Wind
Vietnam Co., Ltd. (CS Wind), the
mandatory respondent in this
investigation, requested that Commerce
postpone the deadline for the final
determination until no later than 135
days from the publication of the
Preliminary Determination, and extend
the application of the provisional
measures from a four-month period to a
period of not more than six months.3 In
accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(2)(ii),
because: (1) The preliminary
determination was affirmative; (2) the
request was made by the exporter and
producer who accounts for a significant
proportion of exports of the subject
merchandise; and (3) no compelling
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is
postponing the final determination until
no later than 135 days after the date of
the publication of the Preliminary
Determination, and extending the
provisional measures from a four-month
period to a period of not more than six
months. Accordingly, Commerce will
issue its final determination no later
than June 29, 2020.4

Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; 2018–2019

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce
(Commerce) determines that the two
mandatory respondents, Guangdong
New Shichu Import and Export
Company Limited (New Shichu) and
KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.
(KaiPing), have not established their
eligibility for a separate rate and are part
of the China-wide entity. We also
continue to assign the China-wide rate
to an additional nine companies,
because we determine that they are not
eligible for a separate rate. Finally, we
continue to grant a separate rate to
Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise
Ltd. (New Star), which demonstrated
eligibility for separate rate status but
was not selected for individual
examination. The period of review
(POR) is April 1, 2018 through March
31, 2019.
DATES: Applicable February 27, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Determination would place the deadline on
Sunday, June 28, 2020. Commerce’s practice
dictates that where a deadline falls on a weekend
or federal holiday, the appropriate deadline is the
next business day. See Notice of Clarification:

published the Preliminary Results.1
Although we invited parties to comment
on the Preliminary Results,2 no
interested party submitted comments.
Accordingly, no decision memorandum
accompanies this Federal Register
notice. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance
with section 751 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act).
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order
include drawn stainless steel sinks.
Imports of subject merchandise are
currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010.
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the order is dispositive.3
Final Results of Review and Final
Determination of No Shipments
We made no changes from the
Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a
result of this review, we determine that
the two mandatory respondents, New
Shichu and KaiPing, have not
established their eligibility for a
separate rate and are part of the Chinawide entity. We also determine that,
because the following companies did
not submit separate rate applications or
certifications, they are ineligible for a
separate rate and are part of the Chinawide entity: B&R Industries Limited
(B&R); Feidong Import and Export Co.
Ltd. (Feidong); Guangdong G-Top
Import & Export Co., Ltd. (G-Top);
Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co.,
Ltd. (Pioneer); Ningbo Afa Kitchen and
Bath Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Afa); Xinhe
Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd.
(Xinhe); Yuyao Afa Kitchenware Co.,
Ltd. (Yuyao Afa); and Zhongshan
Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd. (Superte).
We also determine that, because Zhuhai
Kohler Kitchen & Bathroom Products
Co. Ltd. (Kohler) failed to respond to
Commerce’s supplemental separate rate
questionnaire, this company is
ineligible for a separate rate and is part
of the China-wide entity. Finally, we
continue to grant a separate rate to New
Star, which demonstrated eligibility for
separate rate status, but was not selected

subject merchandise which are not
located in China and which are not
eligible for a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate applicable
to Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that
non-Chinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in accordance with
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.212(b). Because we determined
that the following companies were not
eligible for a separate rate and are part
of the China-wide entity, we will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 76.45 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR that were produced and/or
exported by: B&R; Feidong; G-Top;
KaiPing; Kohler; New Shichu; Ningbo
Afa; Pioneer; Superte; Xinhe; and Yuyao
Afa. We will instruct CBP to apply an
assessment rate to all entries of
merchandise produced and/or exported
by New Star equal to the dumping
margin indicated above. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of these final results of
review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
For the company listed above that has
a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate established in these final
results of review; (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 equal to
the exporter-specific weighted-average
dumping margin published of the most
recently-completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) for all Chinese exporters
of subject merchandise that have not
been found to be entitled to a separate
4 We assigned New Star the most recently
assigned separate rate in this proceeding (i.e., 1.78
percent). See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the

This notice 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 Regarding 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 return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
