Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Final Determination of No Shipments; 2021-2022

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to find 
that Zhangzhou Hongwei Foods Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou Hongwei) and 
Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co., Ltd. (Zhanjiang 
Regal), exporters of certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from the 
People's Republic of China (China) under review, had no shipments of 
subject merchandise during the period of review (POR), February 1, 
2021, through January 31, 2022. Commerce also continues to find that 
the 134 remaining companies subject to this review are part of the 
China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate their eligibility 
for separate rates.

DATES: Applicable February 24, 2023

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On October 25, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of 
this administrative review in the Federal Register.\1\ No interested 
party submitted comments concerning the Preliminary Results. 
Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal Register 
notice and no changes have been made in the final results of this 
review. Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 
2021-2022, 87 FR 64438 (October 25, 2022) (Preliminary Results), and 
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).

Scope of the Order 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less 
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 (February 1, 
2005) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The product covered by this Order is shrimp from China. For a 
complete description of the scope, see the Preliminary Results.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 3-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    Commerce preliminarily found that Zhangzhou Hongwei and Zhanjiang 
Regal had no shipments during the POR. As noted in the Preliminary 
Results, we received no shipment statements from the two exporters 
identified above and the statements were consistent with the 
information we received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
    We received no comments from interested parties with respect to the 
Preliminary Results. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to 
find that these two exporters had no shipments of subject merchandise 
to the United States during the POR and will issue appropriate 
liquidation instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic 
assessment'' clarification for these final results.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Assessment 
Practice Refinement).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    With the exception of Zhangzhou Hongwei and Zhanjiang Regal, 
Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested 
to be part of the China-wide entity because they did not demonstrate 
their separate rate eligibility.\5\ Accordingly, the companies listed 
in the appendix are part of the China-wide entity. No party commented 
on the Preliminary Results with respect to these companies' separate 
rate ineligibility. Therefore, for these final results, we determine 
that these 134 companies at issue are part of the China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 87 FR 21619 at 21620 (April 12, 2022) (``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.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity and 
Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity as an exporter 
conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we did not conduct a 
review of the China-wide entity.\6\ The rate previously established for 
the China-wide entity is 112.81 percent and is not subject to change as 
a result of this review.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 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, 65969-70 (November 
4, 2013).
    \7\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties 
on all appropriate entries covered by this review in accordance with 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. Based on record evidence, we have 
determined that Zhangzhou Hongwei and Zhanjiang Regal 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\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment 
Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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., 112.81 
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 administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China 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 rates for the two 
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 for which a 
review was not requested, the cash deposit rate will continue to be

[[Page 11894]]

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, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 
112.81 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 deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.

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 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 POR. 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 to Interested Parties

    These final results of administrative review are issued and 
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the 
Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
