Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
the comment received from interested
parties, we made no changes to the
Preliminary Results.
Final Determination of No Shipments
Commerce preliminarily found that
six exporters did not ship subject
merchandise during the POR.4 As noted
in the Preliminary Results, we received
no-shipment statements from these
exporters, and their statements were
consistent with the information we
received from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP).5 Therefore, for these
final results, we continue to find that
these six exporters had no shipments of
subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.
China-Wide Entity
With the exception of the
aforementioned six exporters that
submitted no-shipment certifications,
we find all other companies for which
a review was requested to be part of the
China-wide entity. Accordingly, the
companies listed in Appendix I are part
of the China-wide entity.6
Because no party requested a review
of the China-wide entity, we did not
conduct a review of the China-wide
entity. The rate previously established
for the China-wide entity is 183.36
percent and is not subject to change as
a result of this review.7

Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any
assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we
have determined that the
aforementioned six companies had no
shipments of subject merchandise and,
4 These six exporters are: (1) Cosco Star
International Co., Ltd.; (2) Linyi Evergreen Wood
Co., Ltd.; (3) Linyi Huasheng Yongbin Wood Co.,
Ltd.; (4) Linyi Sanfortune Wood Co., Ltd.; (5)
Shanghai Luli Trading Co., Ltd.; (6) Suqian
Hopeway International Trade Co., Ltd.
5 See Memoranda, ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for

During the Period 01/01/2021 through 12/31/2021,’’
dated May 20, 2022; ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for

therefore, pursuant to Commerce’s
assessment practice, any suspended
entries entered under their case
numbers will be liquidated at the Chinawide entity rate.8
For all remaining companies subject
to this review, which are part of the
China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate their entries at the current
rate for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
183.36 percent). 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 subject
merchandise from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication
date, as provided by sections
751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act): (1) the cash deposit
rates for the six companies that had no
shipments during the POR will remain
unchanged from the rates assigned to
them in the most recently completed
segment for each company; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that
have separate rates, and which were not
assigned the China-wide rate in this
review, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding;
(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate
(including the companies listed in
Appendix I), the cash deposit rate will
be that for the China-wide entity (i.e.,
183.36 percent); 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 cash 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
315.402(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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to an
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).
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 subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and
published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.213(h).

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that certain refractory brick
samples tested by U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) do not reflect
the chemical composition of magnesia
alumina carbon (MAC) bricks and are
covered by the antidumping duty (AD)
and countervailing duty (CVD) orders
on certain magnesia carbon bricks
(bricks) from the People’s Republic of
China (China). Additionally, Commerce
preliminarily finds that it is unable to
determine whether certain other
samples tested by CBP have the
chemical composition of a bricks subject
to the AD and CVD orders on bricks
from China. Interested parties are
invited to comment on these
preliminary results.

Merchandise Subject to the Covered
Merchandise Inquiry
The products subject to this inquiry
are refractory bricks which were
imported by Fedmet Resources
Corporation (Fedmet). CBP’s
laboratories tested 11 samples from
these bricks and provided the results of
chemical composition tests for the
merchandise in its referral to
Commerce.

Methodology
Commerce is conducting this covered
merchandise inquiry in accordance with
section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.227.
For a full description of the
methodology underlying Commerce’s
preliminary results, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Preliminary Findings
We preliminarily determine, pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.227(f), that certain bricks
tested by CBP laboratories do not
constitute (non-subject) MAC bricks and
are subject to the scope of the Orders.
Although we can make such a
determination for two of the eleven
brick samples, the information on the
remaining nine samples is
indeterminate regarding the proper
scope classification for the underlying
product tested by CBP. In reaching this
preliminary determination, we relied on
information placed on the record by the
Magnesia Carbon Bricks Fair Trade
Committee and Fedmet, as well as the
documents included with the referral
from CBP. For a full description of the
methodology underlying our
conclusions, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
Suspension of Liquidation
As stated above, Commerce has made
a preliminary affirmative finding that
certain bricks tested by CBP, which
were the subject of this referral from
CBP, are subject to the scope of the
Orders. This affirmative in-scope
finding applies on a country-wide basis,
regardless of the producer, exporter, or
importer, to all products from the same
country with the same relevant physical
characteristics as the products at issue.
Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.227(l)(2), Commerce will direct CBP
to: (1) continue the suspension of
liquidation of previously suspended
entries and apply the applicable cash
deposit rate; (2) begin the suspension of
liquidation and require a cash deposit of
estimated duties, at the applicable rate,
for each unliquidated entry of the
product not yet suspended, entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after July 20, 2022,
the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of this covered merchandise
inquiry in the Federal Register; and (3)
begin the suspension of liquidation and
require a cash deposit of estimated
duties, at the applicable rate, for each
unliquidated entry of the product not
yet suspended, entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption prior
to July 20, 2022.3

(hardwood plywood) from the People's Republic of China (China) under
review had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period of
review (POR) January 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. Commerce also

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and the comment received from
interested parties, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Final Determination of No Shipments
Commerce preliminarily found that six exporters did not ship
subject merchandise during the POR.\4\ As noted in the Preliminary
Results, we received no-shipment statements from these exporters, and
their statements were consistent with the information we received from
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).\5\ Therefore, for these final
results, we continue to find that these six exporters had no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ These six exporters are: (1) Cosco Star International Co.,
Ltd.; (2) Linyi Evergreen Wood Co., Ltd.; (3) Linyi Huasheng Yongbin
Wood Co., Ltd.; (4) Linyi Sanfortune Wood Co., Ltd.; (5) Shanghai
Luli Trading Co., Ltd.; (6) Suqian Hopeway International Trade Co.,
Ltd.
\5\ See Memoranda, ``No Shipment Inquiry for Suqian Hopeway
International Trade Co., Ltd. During the Period 01/01/2021 through
12/31/2021,'' dated May 20, 2022; ``No Shipment Inquiry for Shanghai
Luli Trading Co., Ltd. During the Period 01/01/2021 through 12/31/
2021,'' dated May 20, 2022; and ``No Shipment Inquiry for Certain
Companies During the Period 01/01/2021 through 12/31/2021,'' dated
June 13, 2022 (collectively, CBP No Shipment Inquiries).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
With the exception of the aforementioned six exporters that
submitted no-shipment certifications, we find all other companies for
which a review was requested to be part of the China-wide entity.
Accordingly, the companies listed in Appendix I are part of the China-
wide entity.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, we
did not conduct a review of the China-wide entity. The rate previously
established for the China-wide entity is 183.36 percent and is not
subject to change as a result of this review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we have determined that the
aforementioned six companies had no shipments of subject merchandise
and, therefore, pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, any
suspended entries entered under their case numbers will be liquidated
at the China-wide entity rate.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all remaining companies subject to this review, which are part
of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their
entries at the current rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36
percent). 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
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act):
(1) the cash deposit rates for the six companies that had no shipments
during the POR will remain unchanged from the rates assigned to them in
the most recently completed segment for each company; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters
that have separate rates, and which were not assigned the China-wide
rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed
segment of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate
(including the companies listed in Appendix I), the cash deposit rate
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36 percent); 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 cash 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 315.402(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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
an 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). 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 subject
to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: February 10, 2023.
