exported from Brunei or the Philippines
to the United States, and entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 12,
2020, the date of publication of the
notice of initiation of these
circumvention inquiries.6 The
suspension of liquidation will remain in
effect until further notice. As we
explained in the Preliminary
Determinations,7 Commerce will
instruct CBP to require antidumping
duty cash deposits equal to the rate
established for the China-wide entity,
i.e., 99.14 percent,8 and countervailing
duty cash deposits equal to the current
all-others rate, i.e., 27.08 percent.9
Welded OCTG assembled or
completed in Brunei or the Philippines
using non-Chinese inputs is not subject
to these circumvention inquiries.
However, because the mandatory
respondents are unable to track welded
OCTG to the country of origin of inputs
used in the production of welded
OCTG,10 Commerce did not implement
a certification process at the preliminary
stage and required cash deposits on all
entries of welded OCTG produced in
Brunei or the Philippines.11 We invited
parties to comment on this issue in their
case briefs and we received comments
from the mandatory respondents on this
issue. For the final determinations, we
will not implement a certification
process for welded OCTG already
suspended,12 and we will require cash
deposits on all entries of welded OCTG
produced in either Brunei or the
Philippines, with a slight modification
from the Preliminary Determinations.13
However, producers and/or exporters in
Brunei or the Philippines may request
reconsideration of our denial of the

Background
This review covers one producer/
exporter of the subject merchandise,
Electrolux Home Products Corp. N.V.
and Electrolux Home Products de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively,
Electrolux). On June 28, 2021,
Commerce published the Preliminary
Results.1 On July 28, 2021, we received

August 4, 2021, we received a rebuttal
brief on behalf of Whirlpool Corporation
(the petitioner).3
Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order are
all large residential washers and certain
subassemblies thereof from Mexico. The
products are currently classifiable under
subheadings 8450.20.0040 and
8450.20.0080 of the Harmonized Tariff
System of the United States (HTSUS).
Products subject to this order may also

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Commerce has determined, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
Electrolux reported the entered value of
its U.S. sales such that we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated
for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales for which
entered value was reported. Where the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
practice will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by Electrolux for which the company
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. 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.7
Commerce intends to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 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 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 Electrolux will
be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin that is established in
the final results of this 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 previously reviewed or
investigated companies not
participating in this review, the cash
deposit will continue to be the

company-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) if the exporter is
not a firm covered in this review, a prior
review, or the less-than-fair-value
(LTFV) investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the cash deposit rate established
for the most recently completed segment
for the manufacturer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 36.52 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.8 These 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)(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 the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to

their responsibility concerning the

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Electrolux reported the entered
value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent's
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Electrolux for which
the company 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. 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.\7\

Commerce intends to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 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 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 Electrolux will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin that is established in
the final results of this 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 previously reviewed or investigated companies not participating in
this review, the cash deposit will continue to be the company-specific
rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a
firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the manufacturer of the subject merchandise; and
(4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will
continue to be 36.52 percent, the all-others rate established in the
LTFV investigation.\8\ These 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)(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 the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
[[Page 67446]]
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
