antidumping duty assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the importer’s
examined sales to the total entered
value of those same sales in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).17 We will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered
by this review when the importerspecific assessment rate calculated in
the final results of this review is above
de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). Where
either the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, 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. The final results of
this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review where
applicable.
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review (i.e., CSC,
CHSC, Great Fortune, Great Grandeul,
Great Grandeul Somoa, Great Grandeul
Steel, and SYSCO), we will assign an
assessment rate based on the cash
deposit rate calculated for the company
selected for mandatory review (i.e.,
Prosperity). The final results of this
review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.18 Further, if we continue to
find in the final results that Xxentria
had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended
entries that entered under that
company’s antidumping duty case
number at the all-others rate.
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Prosperity for
which it did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate entries not reviewed at the allothers rate of 3.66 percent established in
the LTFV investigation 19 if there is no
17 In these preliminary results, Commerce applied

rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.20
We intend to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after date of publication of the final
results of this review in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the Court, 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 deposit requirements
will be effective upon publication of the
notice of final results of administrative
review for all shipments of CORE from
Taiwan entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after
the date of publication provided by
section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rate for each company listed
above will be equal to the dumping
margins established in the final results
of this review except if the ultimate
rates are de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case
the cash deposit rates will be zero; (2)
for merchandise exported by producers
or exporters not covered in this
administrative review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the
company-specific rate published for the
most recently completed segment of this
proceeding in which the producer or
exporter participated; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a
prior review, or the original LTFV
investigation but the producer is, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently
completed segment of the proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise;
and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other
producers or exporters will continue to
be 3.66 percent, the all-others rate
established in Amended Final
Determination.21 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 duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
(February 26, 2019) (Amended Final
Determination).

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 to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of review
are issued and published in accordance
with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

Background
Commerce published the CVD order
on CVP–23 from India on December 29,
2004.1 On January 20, 2023, pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19
CFR 351.214(c), Commerce received a
timely NSR request from Sudarshan
Chemical Industries Limited (Sudarshan
Chemical).2
In its submission, Sudarshan
Chemical certified that it is the producer
and exporter of the subject merchandise
subject to this NSR request.3 Pursuant to
section 751(a)(2)(B)(I) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Sudarshan
Chemical certified that it did not export
CVP–23 to the United States during the
period of investigation (POI).4
Additionally, pursuant to section
751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Sudarshan
Chemical certified that, since the
initiation of the CVD investigation, it
has not been affiliated with any
producer or exporter that exported
CVP–23 to the United States during the
POI, including those not individually
examined during the CVD
investigation.5
In its submission, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(iv), Sudarshan Chemical
certified that it would provide necessary
information related to the unaffiliated
customer in the United States during
this NSR.6 Sudarshan Chemical also
provided a certification by its
unaffiliated customer of its willingness
to participate in this NSR.7
In addition to the certifications
described above, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(v), Sudarshan Chemical
submitted documentation establishing
the following: (1) the date on which the
subject merchandise was first entered,
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption; (2) the volume of its first
shipment and any subsequent
shipments, including whether such
shipments were made in commercial
quantities; and (3) the date of its first
sale and any subsequent sales to an
unaffiliated customer in the United
States.8 Finally, pursuant to 19 CFR
351.214(b)(2)(vi), Sudarshan Chemical
1 See Notice of Countervailing Duty Order:
Carbazole Violet Pigment 23 from India, 69 FR
77995 (December 29, 2004) (Order).
2 See Sudarshan Chemical’s Letter, ‘‘Request for
Initiation of a New Shipper Review of the
Countervailing Duty Order (C–533–839),’’ dated
January 20, 2023 (Sudarshan Chemical’s NSR
Request).

submitted a certification that it
informed the Government of India (GOI)
that the GOI will be required to provide
a full response to Commerce’s
questionnaire.
Commerce queried the database of
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) to confirm whether the shipment
reported by Sudarshan Chemical had
entered the United States for
consumption and that liquidation had
been suspended as subject to the Order.9
The CBP Entry Data for which
Commerce examined were consistent
with the information submitted by
Sudarshan Chemical in its NSR request.
In particular, the CBP Entry Data
confirmed the price and quantity
reported by Sudarshan Chemical for the
sale that forms the basis for its NSR
request. Finally, Commerce’s
examination of the CBP Entry Data also
leads it to conclude that this sale is a
suspended/Type-3 entry.
Period of Review
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.214(g)(2), in a countervailing duty
proceeding, the POR for an NSR will be
the same period as that specified in 19
CFR 351.213(e)(2) for a CVD
administrative review. Section
351.213(e)(2)(i) of Commerce’s
regulations provides that a CVD
administrative review normally will
cover entries or exports of subject
merchandise during the most recently
completed calendar year. Because
Sudarshan Chemical’s NSR Request was
submitted on January 20, 2023, the POR
for this NSR will be January 1, 2022,
through December 31, 2022 (i.e., the
most recently completed calendar year
prior to the date of Sudarshan
Chemical’s NSR Request).
Initiation of New Shipper Review
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), and based
on the information on the record,
Commerce finds that Sudarshan
Chemical’s NSR Request meets the
threshold requirements for initiating an
NSR of its shipments of CVP–23 from
India to the United States.10 However, if
the information submitted by Sudarshan
Chemical is later found to be incorrect
or insufficient during the course of this
NSR, Commerce may rescind the review
or apply adverse facts available,
pursuant to section 776 of the Act, as
9 See Memorandum, ‘‘Release of U.S. Customs
and Border Protection Data Query Results,’’ dated
May 30, 2023, at Attached Excel Data File (CBP
Entry Data).
10 See, generally, Sudarshan Chemical’s NSR
Request; see also New Shipper Initiation Checklist:
Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited, dated
concurrently with this notice.
