SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 12, 2022, the U.S.
Department of Commerce (Commerce)
initiated a countervailing duty (CVD)
investigation of imports of paper file
folders from India.1 Currently, the
preliminary determination is due no
later than January 5, 2023.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
ddrumheller on DSK6VXHR33PROD with NOTICES
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) the petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny it.
On December 9, 2022, the Coalition of
Domestic Folder Manufacturers (the
petitioner) timely filed a request for
Commerce to postpone the preliminary
CVD determination so that Commerce
may review all questionnaire responses
and new factual information to permit a
thorough investigation and the
calculation of accurate subsidy rates.2
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determination, and

Countervailing Duty Investigation, 87 FR 67447

TOPS Products LLC.

Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than the next
business day after 130 days after the
date on which this investigation was
initiated, i.e., March 13, 2023.3 Pursuant
to section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.210(b)(1), the deadline for the
final determination of this investigation
will continue to be 75 days after the
date of the preliminary determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an
administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on multilayered
wood flooring (MLWF) from the
People’s Republic of China (China).1
The review covers 49 companies,
including mandatory respondents
Fuerjia and Metropolitan.
For events that occurred since the
Initiation Notice and the analysis
behind our preliminary results herein,
see the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum.2 The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and is on file electronically
via Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Partial Rescission of Review
On February 7, 2022, Zhejiang Yuhua
Timber Co. Ltd. (Zhejiang Yuhua) and
A-Timber Flooring Company Limited
(A-Timber) withdrew their requests for
review.4 On April 13, 2022, the
American Manufacturers of
Multilayered Wood Flooring (the
petitioner) withdrew its request for an
administrative review with respect to
Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood
Industry Co., Ltd. (Senmao),5 and on
April 14, 2022, Senmao withdrew its
request for review of itself.6 Finally, on
April 25, 2022, Kingman Floors Co., Ltd.
(Kingman Floors) withdrew its request
for review of itself.7 No other parties
requested a review of these four
companies. Accordingly, Commerce is
rescinding the administrative review
with respect to Zhejiang Yuhua, ATimber, Kingman Floors, and Senmao.8
Jiashan HuiJiaLe Decoration Material
Co., Ltd. (Jiashan HuiJiaLe) also
withdrew its request for an
administrative review of itself.9
However, the petitioner also requested a
review of Jiashan HuiJiaLe and did not
withdraw its request.10 Accordingly, we
are not rescinding the administrative
review with respect to Jiashan HuiJiaLe.
Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments
ddrumheller on DSK6VXHR33PROD with NOTICES
Based on an analysis of information
from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), no-shipment
certifications, and other record
information, we preliminarily determine
that 34 companies had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR.11
Consistent with our practice in nonmarket economy (NME) cases, we are
not rescinding this review with respect
to these companies but, rather, we
intend to complete the review and issue

Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in
addition to Fuerjia, four companies not
individually-examined are eligible for
separate rates in this administrative
review.13 The Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a separate rate to be
applied to companies not selected for
individual examination when
Commerce limits its examination in an
administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when
determining the rate for separate-rate
respondents that are not individually
examined in an administrative review.
Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states
that the all-others rate should be
calculated by averaging the weightedaverage dumping margins for
individually examined respondents,
excluding dumping margins that are
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts available. Where the dumping
margins for individually examined
respondents are all zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on facts available, section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act provides that
Commerce may use ‘‘any reasonable
method’’ to establish the estimated all
others rate.
For the preliminary results of this
review, Commerce has determined the
estimated dumping margin for Fuerjia to
be zero. Consistent with the guidance of
section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, and for
the reasons explained in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum, we are
assigning this rate to the non-examined
respondents which qualify for a separate
rate in this review.
The China-Wide Entity
Commerce’s policy regarding
conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.14 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review
unless a party specifically requests, or
Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a

review of the China-wide entity, the
entity is not under review, and the
entity’s rate, i.e., 85.13 percent, is not
subject to change.15
Commerce selected Metropolitan as
one of two mandatory respondents in
this administrative review.16
Metropolitan then notified Commerce
that it did not intend to participate in
the review.17 Because Metropolitan did
not respond to the questionnaire, it has
not established its eligibility for a
separate rate despite submitting a timely
separate rate certification.18 Therefore,
Commerce considers Metropolitan to be
part of the China-wide entity. See the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum for
further discussion.
Aside from the companies for which
we preliminarily find had no shipments
and the companies for which the review
is being rescinded, Commerce considers
all other companies for which a review
was requested and did not demonstrate
separate rate eligibility to be part of the
China-wide entity.19 For the
preliminary results of this review, we
consider six companies, including
Metropolitan, to be part of the Chinawide entity.

injunction has expired (i.e., within 90
days of publication).
If Fuerjia’s ad valorem weightedaverage dumping margin is not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent)
in the final results of this review,
Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates on the basis of
the ratio of the total amount of dumping
calculated for the importer’s examined
sales and the total quantity of those
sales, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).29 Commerce will also
calculate (estimated) ad valorem
importer-specific assessment rates with
which to assess whether the per-unit
assessment rate is de minimis. We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific ad valorem assessment rate
calculated in the final results of this
review is not zero or de minimis.
For the respondents that were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review that qualified
for a separate rate, the assessment rate
will be the separate rate established in
the final results of this administrative
review.
If, in the final results, Fuerjia’s
weighted-average dumping margin
continues to be zero or de minimis (i.e.,
less than 0.5 percent), Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate
entries without regard to antidumping
duties.30 For entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by Fuerjia during this review,
and for the companies that do not
qualify for a separate rate, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 85.13
percent).31 In addition, if in the final
results we continue to find no
shipments of subject merchandise for
the 34 companies for which we
preliminarily find no such shipments
during the POR,32 any suspended
entries of subject merchandise
associated with those companies will be
liquidated at the China-wide rate.33

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
review for all shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the
companies that have a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be that rate
established in the final results of this
review (except, if the rate is de minimis,
then a cash deposit rate of zero will be
required); (2) for previously investigated
or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese
exporters for which a review was not
requested and that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, 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, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate for the China-wide entity
(i.e., 85.13 percent); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject
merchandise that 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 cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing
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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount

of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.

We are issuing and publishing the
preliminary results of this review in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on multilayered wood flooring (MLWF) from the People's
Republic of China (China).\1\ The review covers 49 companies, including
mandatory respondents Fuerjia and Metropolitan.

Partial Rescission of Review
On February 7, 2022, Zhejiang Yuhua Timber Co. Ltd. (Zhejiang
Yuhua) and A-Timber Flooring Company Limited (A-Timber) withdrew their
requests for review.\4\ On April 13, 2022, the American Manufacturers
of Multilayered Wood Flooring (the petitioner) withdrew its request for
an administrative review with respect to Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood
Industry Co., Ltd. (Senmao),\5\ and on April 14, 2022, Senmao withdrew
its request for review of itself.\6\ Finally, on April 25, 2022,
Kingman Floors Co., Ltd. (Kingman Floors) withdrew its request for
review of itself.\7\ No other parties requested a review of these four
companies. Accordingly, Commerce is rescinding the administrative
review with respect to Zhejiang Yuhua, A-Timber, Kingman Floors, and
Senmao.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Zhejiang Yuhua and A-Timber's Letter, ``Withdrawal of
Request for Administrative Review,'' dated February 7, 2022.
\5\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Partial Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated April 13, 2022.
\6\ See Senmao's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated April 14, 2022.
\7\ See Kingman Floor's Letter, ``Notice of Withdrawal of
Request for 2020-2021 Administrative Review,'' dated April 25, 2022.
\8\ See 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jiashan HuiJiaLe Decoration Material Co., Ltd. (Jiashan HuiJiaLe)
also withdrew its request for an administrative review of itself.\9\
However, the petitioner also requested a review of Jiashan HuiJiaLe and
did not withdraw its request.\10\ Accordingly, we are not rescinding
the administrative review with respect to Jiashan HuiJiaLe.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Jiashan HuiJiaLe's Letter, ``Notice of Withdrawal of
Request for 2020-2021 Administrative Review,'' dated March 4, 2022.
\10\ See Petitioner's Letter, ``Request for Administrative
Review,'' dated December 30, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Based on an analysis of information from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), no-shipment certifications, and other record
information, we preliminarily determine that 34 companies had no
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.\11\ Consistent with
our practice in non-market economy (NME) cases, we are not rescinding
this review with respect to these companies but, rather, we intend to
complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on
the final results of the review.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
\12\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694, 65694-95 (October 24, 2011) (NME
AD Assessment).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
We preliminarily determine that, in addition to Fuerjia, four
companies not individually-examined are eligible for separate rates in
this administrative review.\13\ The Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a
separate rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when
determining the rate for separate-rate respondents that are not
individually examined in an administrative review. Section 735(c)(5)(A)
of the Act states that the all-others rate should be calculated by
averaging the weighted-average dumping margins for individually
examined respondents, excluding dumping margins that are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Where the dumping
margins for individually examined respondents are all zero, de minimis,
or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act
provides that Commerce may use ``any reasonable method'' to establish
the estimated all others rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the preliminary results of this review, Commerce has determined
the estimated dumping margin for Fuerjia to be zero. Consistent with
the guidance of section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, and for the reasons
explained in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we are assigning this
rate to the non-examined respondents which qualify for a separate rate
in this review.
The China-Wide Entity
Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide
entity applies to this administrative review.\14\ Under this policy,
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity,
the entity is not under review, and the entity's rate, i.e., 85.13
percent, is not subject to change.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\15\ See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic
of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2016-2017, 84 FR 38002
(August 5, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce selected Metropolitan as one of two mandatory respondents
in this administrative review.\16\ Metropolitan then notified Commerce
that it did not intend to participate in the review.\17\ Because
Metropolitan did not respond to the questionnaire, it has not
established its eligibility for a separate rate despite submitting a
timely separate rate certification.\18\ Therefore, Commerce considers
Metropolitan to be part of the China-wide entity. See the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum for further discussion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Memorandum, ``Second Respondent Selection,'' dated May
5, 2022.
\17\ See Metropolitan's Letter, ``10th AD Administrative
Review,'' dated May 24, 2022.
\18\ See Metropolitan's Letter, ``Submission of Separate Rate
Certification,'' dated March 4, 2022; see also Initiation Notice
(``Furthermore, exporters and producers who submit a Separate Rate
Application or Certification and subsequently are selected as
mandatory respondents will no longer be eligible for separate rate
status unless they respond to all parts of the questionnaire as
mandatory respondents.'')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from the companies for which we preliminarily find had no
shipments and the companies for which the review is being rescinded,
Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested
and did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility to be part of the
China-wide entity.\19\ For the preliminary results of this review, we
consider six companies, including Metropolitan, to be part of the
China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Initiation Notice, 87 FR at 6489 (``All firms listed
below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as
appropriate, either a separate rate application or certification, as
described below.''). Companies that are subject to this
administrative review that are considered to be part of the China-
wide entity are listed in Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Results of Successor-in-Interest Analysis
Arte Mundi Group reported that during the POR, it changed its
English name from Arte Mundi Shanghai to Arte Mundi Group.\20\ Based on
our analysis of the information on the record regarding any changes
with respect to corporate structure, manufacturing facilities,
customers, and suppliers, we
[[Page 79861]]
preliminarily determine that Arte Mundi Group is the successor-in-
interest to Arte Mundi Shanghai and, as a result, should be accorded
the same treatment previously accorded to Arte Mundi Shanghai for cash
deposit purposes. See the Preliminary Decision Memorandum for further
information. Should our final results of review remain the same as
these preliminary results of review, effective the date of publication
of the final results of review, we will instruct CBP to apply Arte
Mundi Shanghai's cash deposit rate to Arte Mundi Group.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Arte Mundi Group's Letter, ``No Shipment Letter for
Arte Mundy {sic{time} Group/Arte Mundi Shanghai/Scholar Home in the
10th Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order on
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China,''
dated March 7, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
We are conducting this administrative review in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213. We calculated
export prices for Fuerjia in accordance with section 772(a) of the Act.
Because China is an NME within the meaning of section 771(18) of the
Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.
Preliminary Results of Review
We preliminarily determine that the following weighted-average
dumping margins exist for the POR December 1, 2020, through November
30, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure and Public Comment
We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations
performed for these preliminary results in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b). Interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30
days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of
review.\22\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs,
may be submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for

who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this review 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. Executive
summaries should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes.
Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS \24\ and must be
served on interested parties.\25\ Note that Commerce has modified
certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business
proprietary information, until further notice.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See Appendix II.
\22\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c).
\23\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Temporary Rule Modifying
AD/CVD Service Requirements Due to COVID-19, 85 FR 17006, 17007
(March 26, 2020) (``To provide adequate time for release of case
briefs via ACCESS, E&C intends to schedule the due date for all
rebuttal briefs to be 7 days after case briefs are filed (while
these modifications remain in effect).'').
\24\ See generally 19 CFR 351.303.
\25\ See 19 CFR 351.303(f).
\26\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements
Due to COVID-19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July
10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, filed
electronically via Commerce's electric records system, ACCESS. An
electronically-filed request must be received successfully in its
entirety by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice.\27\ Requests should contain the party's
name, address, and telephone number, the number of participants,
whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list of the issues
to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends
to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined.\28\ Parties
should confirm by telephone the date and time of the hearing two days
before the scheduled date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See 19 CFR 351.310(c)
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unless otherwise extended, we intend to issue the final results of
this administrative review, which will include the results of our
analysis of the issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, within
120 days of publication of these preliminary results in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.213(h).
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 35 days after the
publication of the final results of this review. 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).
If Fuerjia's ad valorem weighted-average dumping margin is not zero
or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of
this review, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates
on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for
the importer's examined sales and the total quantity of those sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\29\ Commerce will also calculate
(estimated) ad valorem importer-specific assessment rates with which to
assess whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis. We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rate calculated in the final results of this review is not zero or de
minimis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\29\ In these preliminary results, Commerce applied the
assessment rate calculation method adopted in Antidumping
Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and
Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings: Final
Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents that were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review that qualified for a separate
rate, the assessment rate will be the separate rate established in the
final results of this administrative review.
If, in the final results, Fuerjia's weighted-average dumping margin
continues to be zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\30\ For entries that were not reported in
the U.S. sales databases submitted by Fuerjia during this review, and
for the companies that do not qualify for a separate rate, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate
(i.e., 85.13 percent).\31\ In addition, if in the final results we
continue to find no shipments of subject merchandise for the 34
companies for which we preliminarily find no such shipments during the
POR,\32\ any suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with
those companies will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\33\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\30\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
\31\ See Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic
of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2016-2017, 84 FR 38002
(August 5, 2019).
\32\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.
\33\ See NME AD Assessment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 79862]]
For the companies for which the administrative review is rescinded,
antidumping duties shall be assessed at a rate equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry,
or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). We intend to issue appropriate assessment
instructions to CBP with respect to the companies for which this
administrative review is rescinded 35 days after the publication of the
preliminary results in the Federal Register.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this review for all shipments of
the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies
that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that rate
established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is
de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will be required); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters
for which a review was not requested and 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 the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 85.13 percent); and (4) for all non-
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that 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 cash
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing the preliminary results of this
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 777(i)(l) of the Act,
19 CFR 351.213(d)(4), and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
