Assessment Rates
Upon publication of the final results
of this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.16
If SIW’s calculated weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent)
in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific
assessment ad valorem rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of
antidumping duties calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If SIW’s
weighted-average dumping margin
continues to be zero or de minimis, or
the importer-specific assessment rate is
zero or de minimis in the final results
of review, we intend to instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.17
The final results of this review shall
be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results
of this review and for future deposits of
estimated duties, where applicable.

assessment’’ practice, for entries of

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements
will be effective for all shipments of the
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withdrawn from warehouse, for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) The
cash deposit rate for SIW will be the rate
established in the final results of this
administrative review, except if the rate
is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore,
de minimis within the meaning of 19
CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the
cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most
recently-completed segment of this
proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment
of this proceeding for the producer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or
exporters will continue to be 12.91
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.19 These
deposit requirements, when imposed,
shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in

antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from the People’s Republic
of China (China), covering the period
May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019.

Jkt 253001
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from China for the POR.1
On July 15, 2019, in response to a timely
request from the petitioner,2 and in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated
an administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on pure
magnesium from China with respect to
TMI/TMM.3
The product covered by this
antidumping duty order is pure
magnesium from China, regardless of
chemistry, form or size, unless expressly
excluded from the scope of the order.
Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy
containing by weight primarily the
element magnesium and produced by
decomposing raw materials into
magnesium metal. Pure primary
magnesium is used primarily as a
chemical in the aluminum alloying,
desulfurization, and chemical reduction
industries. In addition, pure magnesium
is used as an input in producing
magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium
encompasses products (including, but
not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns
and crystals) with the following primary
magnesium contents:
(1) Products that contain at least
99.95% primary magnesium, by weight
(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’
magnesium) Magnesium Alloy’’ 4 and
are thus outside the scope of the
existing antidumping orders on
magnesium from China (generally
referred to as ‘‘alloy’’ magnesium).
(2) Products that contain less than
99.95%, but not less than 99.8%,
primary magnesium, by weight

Request for Administrative Review,’’ dated May 31,

3 See Initiation of Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews, 84 FR
33739 (July 15, 2019). In the 2011–2012
administrative review of the order, Commerce
collapsed TMM and TMI, and treated the
companies as a single entity for purposes of the
proceeding. Because there were no changes to the
facts which supported that decision since that
determination was made, we continue to find that
these companies are part of a single entity for this
administrative review. See Pure Magnesium from

(generally referred to as ‘‘pure’’

(3) Products that contain 50% or
greater, but less than 99.8% primary
magnesium, by weight, and that do not
conform to ASTM specifications for
alloy magnesium (generally referred to
as ‘‘off–specification pure’’ magnesium).
‘‘Off–specification pure’’ magnesium
is pure primary magnesium containing
magnesium scrap, secondary
magnesium, oxidized magnesium or
impurities (whether or not intentionally
added) that cause the primary
magnesium content to fall below 99.8%
by weight. It generally does not contain,
individually or in combination, 1.5% or
more, by weight, of the following
alloying elements: Aluminum,
manganese, zinc, silicon, thorium,
zirconium and rare earths.
Excluded from the scope of the order
are alloy primary magnesium (that
meets specifications for alloy
magnesium), primary magnesium
anodes, granular primary magnesium
(including turnings, chips and powder)
having a maximum physical dimension
(i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or
less, secondary magnesium (which has
pure primary magnesium content of less
than 50% by weight), and remelted
magnesium whose pure primary
magnesium content is less than 50% by
weight.
Pure magnesium products covered by
the order are currently classifiable
under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of
the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00,
8104.30.00, 8104.90.00, 3824.90.11,

the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes,
the written description of the scope is
dispositive.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
We received timely submissions from
TMI/TMM certifying that they did not
have sales, shipments, or exports of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.5 On December
20, 2019, we requested the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) data file of
entries of subject merchandise imported
into the United States during the POR,
and exported by TMI/TMM. This query

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon publication of the final results of this administrative
review, Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If SIW's calculated weighted-average dumping margin is above de
minimis (i.e., greater than or equal to 0.5 percent) in the final
results of this review, we will calculate importer-specific assessment
ad valorem rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the importer's examined sales and the total
entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). If
SIW's weighted-average dumping margin continues to be zero or de
minimis, or the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.
In accordance with our ``automatic assessment'' practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by SIW for which
SIW did not know that the merchandise it sold to the intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the 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) The cash deposit rate for SIW will be the
rate established in the final results of this administrative review,
except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for companies not participating in this
review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific
cash deposit rate published for the most recently-completed segment of
this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this
review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be
the cash deposit rate established for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding for the producer of the merchandise; and (4)
the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 12.91 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\19\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
[[Page 8179]]
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(4).
Dated: January 29, 2021.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
