Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses the
calculations performed in its analysis to
parties in a review within five days of
the date of publication of the notice of
final results, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because
Commerce applied a rate based on total
AFA to the mandatory respondent in
this review, in accordance with section
776 of the Act, there are no calculations
to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has
determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review. We
intend to issue appropriate 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).17
For the final results, we will instruct
CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment
rate equal to the dumping margins
shown above to all entries of subject
merchandise during the POR which
were produced and/or exported by
Chandan or exported by the companies
which were not selected for individual
examination. We intend to instruct CBP
to take into account the ‘‘provisional
measures deposit cap,’’ in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(d).

publication of the notice of the final
results of this administrative review for
all shipments of the subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date, as provided
for by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rate for Chandan and
the companies not individually
examined will be equal to the rates
established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered by this review but
covered by 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
by this review or the original less-thanfair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate
for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 14.29 percent,18 the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this 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 order (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

Rate for Non-Selected Companies
In accordance with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit's decision in Albemarle,\12\ Commerce continues to assign to
the companies not individually examined (see Appendix II for a full
list of these companies) a margin of 145.25 percent, which is the
dumping margin assigned to mandatory respondent Chandan. Commerce has
addressed arguments from various interested parties regarding this
rate, which we assigned to the non-examined companies in the
Preliminary Results, and, for the final results, the determination
remains unchanged, as discussed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.\13\

States, 821 F. 3d 1345 (Fed. Cir. 2016) (Albemarle)).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Normally, Commerce discloses the calculations performed in its
analysis to parties in a review within five days of the date of
publication of the notice of final results, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). However, because Commerce applied a rate based on total AFA
to the mandatory respondent in this review, in accordance with section
776 of the Act, there are no calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. We intend to
issue appropriate 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).\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue
Liquidation Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the final results, we will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem
assessment rate equal to the dumping margins shown above to all entries
of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or
exported by Chandan or exported by the companies which were not
selected for individual examination. We intend to instruct CBP to take
into account the ``provisional measures deposit cap,'' in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(d).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of the final results of this administrative
review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) The cash
deposit rate for Chandan and the companies not individually examined
will be equal to the rates established in the final results of this
administrative review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered by this review but covered by 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 by this review or
the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established
for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding for the
producer of the merchandise; (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to be 14.29 percent,\18\ the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 this 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 order (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 or
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective
order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: August 20, 2021.
