2021, based on timely requests for an
administrative review, Commerce
initiated the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on diamond
sawblades.3 The administrative review
covers 53 companies, which is inclusive
of the two mandatory respondents,
Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity (Jiangsu
Fengtai) and Zhejiang Wanli Tool Group
Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wanli).4
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
Six companies that received a
separate rate in previous segments of the
proceeding and are subject to this
review reported that they did not have
any exports of subject merchandise
during the POR.6 To date, we have
found no evidence calling into question
the no-shipment claims made by four of
these companies; 7 therefore, we

preliminarily find that these four
companies had no shipments of subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR. For two of the six companies,
because CBP data indicated entries
during the POR, we requested entry
documentation from CBP.8 Based on
information on the record, we
preliminarily find that Husqvarna
(Hebei) Co., Ltd. (Husqvarna) had
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR. Therefore, because it did not
file a separate rate application or
separate rate certification (SRC), we are
preliminarily considering Husqvarna to
be part of the China-wide entity. We
additionally find, based on information
on the record, that Weihai Xiangguang
Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd. (Weihai
Xiangguang) did not have entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.
Therefore, we preliminarily find that
Weihai Xiangguang had no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR. For additional
information regarding these preliminary
determinations, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Separate Rates
Commerce preliminarily determines
that one respondent is eligible to receive
a separate rate in this review.9
Separate Rates for Eligible NonSelected Respondents
Consistent with our practice, because
we preliminarily denied the separate
rate eligibility for the two respondents
selected for individual examination,
Jiangsu Fengtai and Zhejiang Wanli, and
treated them as part of the China-wide
entity, we preliminarily applied to the
non-selected respondent the separate
rate assigned to eligible respondents in
the last completed administrative
review, which is 0.00 percent.10
China-Wide Entity
Under Commerce’s policy regarding
the conditional review of the Chinawide entity,11 the China-wide entity
will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce selfinitiates, 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
entity’s rate (i.e., 82.05 percent) is not
subject to change.12 Aside from the noshipment and separate rate companies
discussed above, Commerce considers
all other companies for which a review
was requested (which did not file a
separate rate application) listed in
Appendix II to this notice, to be part of
the China-wide entity.13 Additionally,
as discussed above, because we denied
separate rate eligibility for Jiangsu
Fengtai and Zhejiang Wanli, these two
companies are also part of the Chinawide 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).
For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum. The
Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a
public document and is made available
to the public via Enforcement and
Compliance’s Antidumping and

results in the Federal Register, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
However, because Commerce
preliminarily denied the separate rate
eligibility for the two respondents
selected for individual examination and
treated them as part of the China-wide
entity, there are no calculations to
disclose.

days after the date of publication of this
notice, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results,
Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review.19 If the preliminary results are
unchanged for the final results, we will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR which were exported by the
companies listed in Appendix II of this
notice and an ad valorem assessment
rate of 0.00 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
which were exported by the nonselected respondent eligible for a
separate rate, listed above, Xiamen ZL.
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 rate) will be liquidated
at the China-wide rate.20
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 final results of this
review for shipments of the subject
merchandise from China 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 subject
merchandise exported by the company
listed above that has a separate rate, the

cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this
administrative review (except, if the rate
is zero or de minimis, then zero cash
deposit will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not
listed above 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; (3) 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 that for the Chinawide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese
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
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 these
PORs. 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
Commerce is issuing and publishing
the preliminary results of this review in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B),
751(a)(3) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19

Background
On November 4, 2009, we published in the Federal Register an
antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from the Peoples' Republic
of China (China).\1\ On November 3, 2020, we published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of
the Order.\2\ On January 6, 2021, based on timely requests for an
administrative review, Commerce initiated the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades.\3\ The administrative
review covers 53 companies, which is inclusive of the two mandatory
respondents, Jiangsu Fengtai Single Entity (Jiangsu Fengtai) and
Zhejiang Wanli Tool Group Co., Ltd. (Zhejiang Wanli).\4\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Six companies that received a separate rate in previous segments of
the proceeding and are subject to this review reported that they did
not have any exports of subject merchandise during the POR.\6\ To date,
we have found no evidence calling into question the no-shipment claims
made by four of these companies; \7\ therefore, we preliminarily find
that these four companies had no shipments of subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR. For two of the six companies, because
CBP data indicated entries during the POR, we requested entry
documentation from CBP.\8\ Based on information on the record, we
preliminarily find that Husqvarna (Hebei) Co., Ltd. (Husqvarna) had
entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Therefore, because it
did not file a separate rate application or separate rate certification
(SRC), we are preliminarily considering Husqvarna to be part of the
China-wide entity. We additionally find, based on information on the
record, that Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd. (Weihai
Xiangguang) did not have entries of subject merchandise during the POR.
Therefore, we preliminarily find that Weihai Xiangguang had no
shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.

Separate Rates
Commerce preliminarily determines that one respondent is eligible
to receive a separate rate in this review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 6-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates for Eligible Non-Selected Respondents
Consistent with our practice, because we preliminarily denied the
separate rate eligibility for the two respondents selected for
individual examination, Jiangsu Fengtai and Zhejiang Wanli, and treated
them as part of the China-wide entity, we preliminarily applied to the
non-selected respondent the separate rate assigned to eligible
respondents in the last completed administrative review, which is 0.00
percent.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum at 7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
Under Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the
China-wide entity,\11\ the China-wide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a
review of the entity. Because
[[Page 41447]]
no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review,
the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate (i.e., 82.05
percent) is not subject to change.\12\ Aside from the no-shipment and
separate rate companies discussed above, Commerce considers all other
companies for which a review was requested (which did not file a
separate rate application) listed in Appendix II to this notice, to be
part of the China-wide entity.\13\ Additionally, as discussed above,
because we denied separate rate eligibility for Jiangsu Fengtai and
Zhejiang Wanli, these two companies are also 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).
For a full description of the methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public document and is made available to the
public 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, and to all
parties in the Central Records Unit, Room B8024 of the main Commerce
building. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be found at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. A list of
the topics discussed in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is attached
as an appendix to this notice.
Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review
Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-
average dumping margin exists for the administrative review covering
the period November 1, 2019, through October 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporters: Separate rate applicable to the following non- dumping
selected companies margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Xiamen ZL Diamond Technology Co., Ltd...................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations
performed in connection with the preliminary results of a review within
five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of preliminary results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily denied the
separate rate eligibility for the two respondents selected for
individual examination and treated them as part of the China-wide
entity, there are no calculations to disclose.
Public Comment
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii), interested parties may submit
case briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this
notice.\14\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the case
briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the date for filing
case briefs.\15\ Commerce has modified certain of its requirements for
serving documents containing business proprietary information until
further notice.\16\ Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs
in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A
statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a
table of authorities.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\15\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d).
\16\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements
Due to COVID-19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July
10, 2020).
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2) and 19 CFR 351.303 (for
general filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically using
ACCESS. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of
issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be limited to
those raised in the respective case briefs. If a request for a hearing
is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be
determined. An electronically filed document must be received
successfully in its entirety by ACCESS by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within
30 days after the date of publication of this notice.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless the deadline is extended, Commerce intends to issue the
final results of these reviews, including the results of its analysis
of the issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120 days
after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuing the final results, Commerce will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\19\ If the preliminary
results are unchanged for the final results, we will instruct CBP to
apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by the companies
listed in Appendix II of this notice and an ad valorem assessment rate
of 0.00 percent to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR
which were exported by the non-selected respondent eligible for a
separate rate, listed above, Xiamen ZL. 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 rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\20\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65695 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 final results of this review for shipments of the
subject merchandise from China 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 subject merchandise
exported by the company listed above that has a separate rate, the
[[Page 41448]]
cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this administrative review (except,
if the rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be
required); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters not listed above 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; (3) 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 that for the
China-wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese 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
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 these PORs. 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
Commerce is issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B), 751(a)(3) and 777(i)
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: July 26, 2021.
