AGENCY: 23 See Order. VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:33 Dec 18, 2020 Jkt 253001 Notification of Annual Quantitative Limit on Imports of Certain Apparel from Haiti. ACTION: CBERA, as amended, provides duty-free treatment for certain apparel articles imported directly from Haiti. One of the preferences is known as the ‘‘value-added’’ provision, which requires that apparel meet a minimum threshold percentage of value added in Haiti, the United States, and/or certain beneficiary countries. The provision is subject to a quantitative limitation, which is calculated as a percentage of total apparel imports into the United States for each 12-month period. For the period from December 20, 2020 through December 19, 2021, the quantity of imports eligible for preferential treatment under the value-added provision is 337,967,087 square meters equivalent. DATES: The new limitations become effective December 20, 2020. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Laurie Mease, International Trade Specialist, Office of Textiles and Apparel, U.S. Department of Commerce, (202) 482–2043. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Authority: Section 213A of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2703a) (‘‘CBERA’’), as amended; and as implemented by Presidential Proc. No. 8114, 72 FR 13655 (March 22, 2007), and No. 8596, 75 FR 68153 (November 4, 2010). Background: Section 213A(b)(1)(B) of CBERA, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2703a(b)(1)(B)), outlines the requirements for certain apparel articles imported directly from Haiti to qualify for duty-free treatment under a ‘‘valueadded’’ provision. In order to qualify for duty-free treatment, apparel articles must be wholly assembled, or knit-toshape, in Haiti from any combination of fabrics, fabric components, components knit-to-shape, and yarns, as long as the sum of the cost or value of materials produced in Haiti or one or more beneficiary countries, as described in CBERA, as amended, or any combination thereof, plus the direct costs of processing operations performed in Haiti or one or more beneficiary countries, as described in CBERA, as amended, or any combination thereof, is not less than an applicable percentage of the declared customs value of such apparel articles. Pursuant to CBERA, as amended, the applicable percentage for the period December 20, 2020 through December 19, 2021 is 60 percent. For every twelve-month period following the effective date of CBERA, SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 as amended, duty-free treatment under the value-added provision is subject to a quantitative limitation. CBERA, as amended, provides that the quantitative limitation will be recalculated for each subsequent 12-month period. Section 213A(b)(1)(C) of CBERA, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2703a(b)(1)(C)), requires that, for the twelve-month period beginning on December 20, 2020, the quantitative limitation for qualifying apparel imported from Haiti under the valueadded provision will be an amount equivalent to 1.25 percent of the aggregate square meter equivalent of all apparel articles imported into the United States in the most recent 12month period for which data are available. The aggregate square meters equivalent of all apparel articles imported into the United States is derived from the set of Harmonized System lines listed in the Annex to the World Trade Organization Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (‘‘ATC’’), and the conversion factors for units of measure into square meter equivalents used by the United States in implementing the ATC. For purposes of this notice, the most recent 12-month period for which data are available as of December 20, 2020 is the 12-month period ending on October 31, 2020. Therefore, for the one-year period beginning on December 20, 2020 and extending through December 19, 2021, the quantity of imports eligible for preferential treatment under the valueadded provision is 337,967,087 square meters equivalent. Apparel articles entered in excess of these quantities will be subject to otherwise applicable tariffs. Lloyd Wood, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Textiles, Consumer Goods and Materials.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance’s Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https:// access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content. Background On October 7, 2019, Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on nails from China.1 This administrative review covers 308 2 companies, including two mandatory respondents: Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. (Zhonglian). On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by 50 days, thereby extending the deadline for these results until June 22, 2020.3 On June 15, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline to issue the preliminary results by an additional 117 days.4 On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by an additional 60 days, extending the deadline for these results until December 15, 2020.5 For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.6 A list of topics Scope of the Order The products covered by the Order are nails from China. For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.7 1 See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 53411, 53417–53421 (October 7, 2019) (Initiation Notice); see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Steel Nails from the People’s Republic of China, 73 FR 44961 (August 1, 2008) (Order). 2 We note that we inadvertently initiated a review of one company twice, once as ‘‘Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.’’ and again as ‘‘Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry and Business Co., Ltd.’’ We are treating these companies as the same entity for purposes of this segment of the proceeding. 3 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to Operational Adjustments Due to COVID–19,’’ dated April 24, 2020. 4 See Memorandum, ‘‘Certain Steel Nails form the People’s Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,’’ dated June 15, 2020. 5 See Memorandum, ‘‘Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,’’ dated July 21, 2020. 6 See Memorandum, ‘‘Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Steel Nails from the VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:33 Dec 18, 2020 Jkt 253001 Partial Rescission of Review Section 351.213(d)(1) of Commerce’s regulations provides that Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Commerce published the Initiation Notice on October 7, 2019.8 On December 30, 2019, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner) withdrew its request for review of The Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd. and Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (collectively, Stanley).9 Because the review request for Stanley was timely withdrawn, and because no other party requested a review of Stanley, we are rescinding this review with respect to Stanley. Preliminary Determination of No Shipments Ten companies 10 that are subject to this review reported that they did not People’s Republic of China; 2018–2019,’’ dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary Decision Memorandum). 7 See Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 8 See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 53411. 9 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Certain Steel Nails from China: Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Reviews,’’ dated December 30, 2019. 10 These companies are: (1) Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; (2) Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.; (3) Nanjing Caiqing Hardware Co., Ltd.; (4) Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; (5) Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; (6) Shanxi Hairu Trade Co., Ltd.; (7) Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; (8) Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd.; (9) Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co.; and (10) Xi’an Metals & Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd. All of these companies, except for Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd., received a separate rate in a previous segment of this proceeding. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 83055 have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.11 To date, we have not received any information from either U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or from any other sources, that contradict these companies’ no-shipment claims. Accordingly, we preliminarily determine that these companies had no shipments during the POR. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent with Commerce’s practice, we will not rescind this review with respect to these companies but will complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the review.12 Separate Rates Commerce preliminary determines that information placed on the record by Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.; SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd.; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; and Zhonglian demonstrated that these entities are entitled to separate rate status. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. China-Wide Entity Commerce’s policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review.13 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the weighted-average dumping margin determined for the China-wide entity (i.e., 118.04 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.14 11 Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd. and Certified Products International Inc. submitted no shipment certifications. However, neither company is under review and, therefore, we did not consider their no shipment claims. 12 See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694–95 (October 24, 2011). 13 See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013). 14 See Certain Steel Nails from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2012–2013, 80 FR 18816, 18817. E:\FR\FM\21DEN1.SGM 21DEN1 83056 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 245 / Monday, December 21, 2020 / Notices Aside from the companies that demonstrated eligibility for a separate rate, and certain companies that had no POR shipments of subject merchandise, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested to be part of the China-wide entity. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum; see also Appendix II for a list of companies considered to be part of the China-wide entity. Methodology Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy country within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act. For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

[[Page 83055]]

People's Republic of China (China) were sold in the United States at 
less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) August 1, 
2018 through July 31, 2019. We invite interested parties to comment on 
these preliminary results.

DATES: Applicable December 21, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Benito Ballesteros, AD/CVD Operations, 
Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade 
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue 
NW, Washington DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-7425.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 7, 2019, Commerce published a notice of initiation of an 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on nails from 
China.\1\ This administrative review covers 308 \2\ companies, 
including two mandatory respondents: Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware 
Group Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. 
(Zhonglian).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 84 FR 53411, 53417-53421 (October 7, 2019) 
(Initiation Notice); see also Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: 
Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China, 73 FR 44961 
(August 1, 2008) (Order).
    \2\ We note that we inadvertently initiated a review of one 
company twice, once as ``Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & 
Business Co., Ltd.'' and again as ``Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli 
Industry and Business Co., Ltd.'' We are treating these companies as 
the same entity for purposes of this segment of the proceeding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative 
reviews by 50 days, thereby extending the deadline for these results 
until June 22, 2020.\3\ On June 15, 2020, Commerce extended the 
deadline to issue the preliminary results by an additional 117 days.\4\ 
On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative 
reviews by an additional 60 days, extending the deadline for these 
results until December 15, 2020.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews in Response to 
Operational Adjustments Due to COVID-19,'' dated April 24, 2020.
    \4\ See Memorandum, ``Certain Steel Nails form the People's 
Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated June 15, 2020.
    \5\ See Memorandum, ``Tolling of Deadlines for Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews,'' dated July 21, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For a complete description of the events that followed the 
initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\6\ 
A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 
included as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 
version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed and the electronic 
versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in 
content.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary 
Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Certain Steel 
Nails from the People's Republic of China; 2018-2019,'' dated 
concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary 
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the Order are nails from China. For a full 
description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Partial Rescission of Review

    Section 351.213(d)(1) of Commerce's regulations provides that 
Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if 
the party that requested the review withdraws its request for review 
within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation 
of the requested review. Commerce published the Initiation Notice on 
October 7, 2019.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Initiation Notice, 84 FR at 53411.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 30, 2019, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the 
petitioner) withdrew its request for review of The Stanley Works 
(Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd. and Stanley Black & Decker Inc. 
(collectively, Stanley).\9\ Because the review request for Stanley was 
timely withdrawn, and because no other party requested a review of 
Stanley, we are rescinding this review with respect to Stanley.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Certain Steel Nails from China: 
Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Reviews,'' dated December 
30, 2019.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Ten companies \10\ that are subject to this review reported that 
they did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the 
POR.\11\ To date, we have not received any information from either U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or from any other sources, that 
contradict these companies' no-shipment claims. Accordingly, we 
preliminarily determine that these companies had no shipments during 
the POR. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we will not rescind 
this review with respect to these companies but will complete the 
review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final 
results of the review.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ These companies are: (1) Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products 
Co., Ltd.; (2) Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.; (3) Nanjing Caiqing 
Hardware Co., Ltd.; (4) Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; (5) 
Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; (6) Shanxi 
Hairu Trade Co., Ltd.; (7) Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., 
Ltd.; (8) Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd.; (9) Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli 
Industry & Business Co.; and (10) Xi'an Metals & Minerals Import & 
Export Co., Ltd. All of these companies, except for Tag Fasteners 
Sdn. Bhd., received a separate rate in a previous segment of this 
proceeding.
    \11\ Shanxi Yuci Broad Wire Products Co., Ltd. and Certified 
Products International Inc. submitted no shipment certifications. 
However, neither company is under review and, therefore, we did not 
consider their no shipment claims.
    \12\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    Commerce preliminary determines that information placed on the 
record by Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.; SDC International Australia Pty. 
Ltd.; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails 
Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd.; Shanxi 
Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development 
Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products 
Co., Ltd.; and Zhonglian demonstrated that these entities are entitled 
to separate rate status. For additional information, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to this administrative review.\13\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in 
this review, the entity is not under review and the weighted-average 
dumping margin determined for the China-wide entity (i.e., 118.04 
percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.\14\

[[Page 83056]]

Aside from the companies that demonstrated eligibility for a separate 
rate, and certain companies that had no POR shipments of subject 
merchandise, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review 
was requested to be part of the China-wide entity. For additional 
information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum; see also Appendix 
II for a list of companies considered to be part of the China-wide 
entity.

Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We 
calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. 
Because China is a non-market economy country within the meaning of 
section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 
773(c) of the Act.
    For a full description of the methodology underlying our 
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of Review

    Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2018 through 
July 31, 2019:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ This rate is the rate calculated for Zhonglian.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                        Exporter                          dumping margin
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd..................           18.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies:\15\
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Qingdao D&L Group Ltd...................................           18.31
SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd....................           18.31

 Yueda Nails Co., Ltd...................................
Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.......................           18.31
S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd........           18.31
Suntec Industries Co., Ltd..............................           18.31
Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd..................           18.31
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We preliminarily calculated a rate for Zhonglian, the sole 
mandatory respondent, which is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely 
on adverse facts available. Accordingly, we have assigned Zhonglian's 
margin to the companies which preliminarily rebutted the presumption of 
government control, but which were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review, consistent with section 
735(c)(3)(A) of the Act.

Disclosure and Public Comment

    Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these 
preliminary results to interested parties within five days of the date 
of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case 
briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this

argument; and (3) a table of authorities.\17\ Case and rebuttal briefs 
should be filed using ACCESS \18\ and must be served on interested 
parties.\19\ Executive summaries should be limited to five pages total, 
including footnotes. Note that Commerce has temporarily modified 
certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business 
proprietary information, until further notice.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
    \17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
    \18\ See generally 19 CFR 351.303.
    \19\ See 19 CFR 351.303(f).
    \20\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements 
Due to COVID-19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 
10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. An

p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this 
notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and 
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the 
issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce 
intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined.

    Unless otherwise extended, 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, pursuant to section 
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and 
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered 
by this review.\21\ Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions 
to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this 
review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If Zhonglian's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de 
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this 
review, 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 to the total entered value of those 
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-
specific ad valorem rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will 
instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of 
liquidation.\22\ Where either

[[Page 83057]]

a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, 
or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de 
minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries 
without regard to antidumping duties.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \23\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 
by Zhonglian, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 
the rate for the China-wide entity.\24\ 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 (i.e., at that exporter's cash deposit rate) 
will be liquidated at the rate for the China-wide entity.\25\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the 
subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for 
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies listed above that have a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin established in the final results of this review 
(except, if the rate is de minimis, then cash deposit rate will be 
zero); (2) for previously examined China and non-China exporters not 
listed above that at the time of entry are eligible for a separate rate 
based on a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific cash deposit 
rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that have not 
been found to be entitled to a separate rate at the time of entry, the 
cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 118.04 
percent); and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise 
which at the time of entry are not eligible for a separate rate, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter 
that supplied that non-China exporter. These deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a preliminary 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 the POR. 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

    This administrative review and notice are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
