Commerce’s ‘‘reseller policy’’ will
apply to entries of subject merchandise
during the POR produced by companies
included in these final results of review
for which the reviewed companies did
not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was
destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.8
The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review
and for future cash deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable. Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions
to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the
date of publication of the final results of
this review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results
of administrative review for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication 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 respondents noted
above 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)(I), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific 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, the cash deposit rate will be

rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 20.58 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.9 These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective orders (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment
of the proceeding. Timely written
notification of the 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.
Notice to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this
notice in accordance with sections

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties
raised and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum
is attached to this notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via

Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn//. The signed and
electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical
in content.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Astrotech
Steels Private Ltd. (Astrotech), Geekay Wires Limited (Geekay), and
Trinity Steel Private Limited (Trinity) made no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR. As we have not received any
information to contradict our preliminary finding, we find that
Astrotech, Geekay, and Trinity did not have any shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR and we will issue appropriate instructions
to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on these final
results of this review.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and comments received from
interested parties, we made the following changes to the Preliminary
Results:
We recalculated the constructed value (CV) financial
ratios for profit and indirect selling expenses (ISEs) by removing a
financial statement from the preliminary calculation.\5\

Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this
proceeding within five days after publication of these final results in
the Federal Register, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Act and
19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this review.
We intend to calculate importer- (or customer-) specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for each importer's (or customer's) examined sales
and the total entered value of the sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Where an importer- (or customer-) specific rate is zero
or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
Generally, when calculating margins for non-selected respondents,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act for guidance, which
provides instructions for calculating the all-others margin in an
investigation. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act provides that when
calculating the all-others margin, Commerce will exclude any zero and
de minimis weighted-average dumping margins, as well as any weighted-
average dumping margins based on total facts available. Accordingly,
Commerce's usual practice has been to average the margins for selected
respondents, excluding margins that are zero, de minimis, or based
entirely on facts available.
In this review, we calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of
0.00 percent for the only respondent in this review, i.e., Oman
Fasteners. In accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce
assigned Oman Fasteners' weighted-average margin, 0.00 percent, to the
non-selected companies in these final results. The rate calculated for
the non-selected companies is a weighted-average percentage margin
which is calculated based on the U.S. value of Oman Fasteners, the only
respondent reviewed, with an affirmative AD margin.\7\ Accordingly, we
have applied a rate of 0.00 percent to the non-selected companies.

Further, because we find in these final results that Astrotech,
Geekay, and Trinity had no shipments of subject merchandise during the
POR, we will instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries that
entered under its AD case number (i.e., at the exporter's rate) or at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction.

Commerce's ``reseller policy'' will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced by companies included in these
final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know
that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller,
trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In
such instances, 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.\8\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The final results of this administrative review shall be the basis
for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise
under review and for future cash deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results
of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication 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 respondents
noted above 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)(I),
in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for merchandise
exported by producers or exporters not covered in this administrative
review but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific 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, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this proceeding for the producer of the
subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 20.58 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\9\ These cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the 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.
Notice to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221.
Dated: February 24, 2021.
