Tubular Products, Inc., the United Steel,
Paper and Forestry, Rubber,
Manufacturing, Energy, Allied
Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL–CIO, CLC,
and Welded Tube USA, Inc.
(collectively, the petitioners) submitted
a timely request that Commerce
postpone the preliminary
determinations in these LTFV
investigations.2 The petitioners stated
that they request postponement due to
the size and complexity of the
investigations, the extensions of time
already granted by Commerce to
respondents, and the amount of time
needed for Commerce to conduct
complete and thorough analyses in
these investigations, including the
issuance and review of additional
supplemental questionnaires.3
For the reasons stated above, and
because there are no compelling reasons
to deny the request, Commerce, in
accordance with section 733(c)(1)(A) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.205(e), is
postponing the deadline for these
preliminary determinations by 50 days
(i.e., 190 days after the date on which
these investigations were initiated). As
a result, Commerce will issue its
preliminary determinations no later
than May 4, 2022. In accordance with
section 735(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the final
determinations in these investigations
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determinations,
unless postponed at a later date.

comments.5
Legal Framework
Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), defines a
‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors
in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical errors
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
unintentional error which the
administering authority considers
ministerial.’’ With respect to final
results of administrative reviews, 19
CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce
‘‘will analyze any comments received
and, if appropriate, correct any
ministerial error by amending . . . the
final results of review . . .’’
Ministerial Error
Commerce agrees with the petitioners
that Commerce made inadvertent,
unintentional errors in the Final Results
within the meaning of section 751(h) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f) with
respect to its calculation of financial
ratios from the financial statement of
Alcomet A.B. used in the calculation of
normal value for respondent, Zhongji.
Accordingly, Commerce determines
that, in accordance with section 751(h)
of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it
made ministerial errors in the Final
Results. However, Commerce
determines that it did not make a
ministerial error with respect to one of
the alleged errors and that correction of
the other alleged ministerial error has
no effect on the margin.
For a complete discussion of each of
the ministerial error allegations, as well
as Commerce’s analysis, see the
accompanying Ministerial Error
Memorandum.6 The Ministerial Error
Memorandum is a public document and

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce is amending the Final
Results to reflect the correction of a
ministerial error in the calculation of
the weighted-average dumping margin
assigned to Zhongji in the Final Results,
which changes from 62.02 percent to
63.52 percent. Furthermore, we are
revising the review-specific, weightedaverage dumping margin applicable to
the companies not selected for
individual examination in this
administrative review, which is based
entirely on Zhongji’s weighted-average
dumping margin.7
Amended Final Results
As a result of correcting the
ministerial errors, Commerce

We intend to disclose the calculations

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of 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 of subject merchandise in
accordance with these amended final
results of review. We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of these amended final
results. 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

for a statutory injunction has expired
(i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Where Zhongji reported reliable
entered values, we calculated importer(or customer-) specific ad valorem rates
by aggregating the dumping margins
calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer (or customer) and dividing this
amount by the total entered value of the
sales to each importer (or customer).8
Where Commerce calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin by
dividing the total amount of dumping
for reviewed sales to that party by the
total sales quantity associated with
those transactions, Commerce will
direct CBP to assess importer- (or
customer-) specific assessment rates
based on the resulting per-unit rates.9
Where an importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is
greater than de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to
collect the appropriate duties at the time
of liquidation.10 Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.11
For the non-selected respondents that
received a separate rate,12 we will
instruct CBP to apply an antidumping
duty assessment rate of 63.52 percent to
all entries of subject merchandise that
entered the United States during the
POR. For the companies that we
determined had no reviewable entries of
the subject merchandise in this review
period, any suspended entries that
entered under those exporters’ case
numbers (i.e., at the exporters’ rates)
will be liquidated at the China-wide
rate.13 For all other companies, we will
instruct CBP to apply the antidumping
duty assessment rate of the China-wide
entity to all entries of subject
merchandise exported by these
companies.14

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 subject merchandise
exported by the companies listed above
that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established
in these final results of review for each
exporter as listed above; (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,
except for the companies which lost
their separate rate eligibility in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporterspecific rate; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, or lost their separate rate
eligibility in this review, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the Chinawide entity; 15 and (4) for all nonChinese 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 also 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
Commerce’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.

19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce ``will analyze any comments

Ministerial Error
Commerce agrees with the petitioners that Commerce made

to its calculation of financial ratios from the financial statement of

Zhongji. Accordingly, Commerce determines that, in accordance with
section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), it made ministerial
errors in the Final Results. However, Commerce determines that it did
not make a ministerial error with respect to one of the alleged errors
and that correction of the other alleged ministerial error has no
effect on the margin.
For a complete discussion of each of the ministerial error
allegations, as well as Commerce's analysis, see the accompanying

results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of 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 of subject
merchandise in accordance with these amended final results of review.
We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of these amended final results. 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).
Where Zhongji reported reliable entered values, we calculated
importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by aggregating the
dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each importer (or
customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered value of the
sales to each importer (or customer).\8\ Where Commerce calculated a
weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total amount of dumping
for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales quantity associated
with those transactions, Commerce will direct CBP to assess importer-
(or customer-) specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-
unit rates.\9\ Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or
per-unit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), Commerce
will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation.\10\ Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem
or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\11\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the non-selected respondents that received a separate rate,\12\
we will instruct CBP to apply an antidumping duty assessment rate of
63.52 percent to all entries of subject merchandise that entered the
United States during the POR. For the companies that we determined had
no reviewable entries of the subject merchandise in this review period,
any suspended entries that entered under those exporters' case numbers
(i.e., at the exporters' rates) will be liquidated at the China-wide
rate.\13\ For all other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the
antidumping duty assessment rate of the China-wide entity to all
entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ These companies are: Alcha International Holdings Limited;
Dingsheng Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Trading Co., Limited
(a.k.a. Dingsheng Aluminium Industries (Hong Kong) Trading Co.,
Ltd.); Hangzhou Dingsheng Import & Export Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Hangzhou
Dingsheng Import and Export Co., Ltd.); Hunan Suntown Marketing
Limited; Suntown Technology Group Corporation Limited (a.k.a.
Suntown Technology Group Co., Ltd.); Xiamen Xiashun Aluminum Foil
Co., Ltd.; and Yinbang Clad Material Co., Ltd.

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 subject merchandise exported
by the companies listed above that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established in these final results of
review for each exporter as listed above; (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, except for the companies which lost their separate rate
eligibility in this review, 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, or lost their separate rate eligibility in this review,
the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity; \15\ 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ In this proceeding, the China-wide cash deposit rate of
95.15 percent reflects the dumping margin of 105.80 percent adjusted
for subsidy offset. See Certain Aluminum Foil from the People's
Republic of China: Amended Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty
Determination and Countervailing Duty Order, 83 FR 17362, 17363

Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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). 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
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
Dated: February 10, 2022.
