India
A–533–889 and C–533–890: Quartz
Surface Products From India
Requestor: Pokarna Engineering Stone
Ltd. (Pokarna). Certain sinks and basins
produced and exported by Pokarna are
not covered by the scope of the
antidumping duty (AD) and
countervailing duty (CVD) orders based
on the plain language that excludes
these products from the scope. Certain
shower trays produced and exported by
Pokarna are covered by the scope of the
AD/CVD orders as they correspond to
products listed in the plain language of
the scope. Certain integrated vanity tops
are covered by the scope of the AD/CVD
orders because the totality of evidence
establishes that the integrated vanity
tops have similar physical
characteristics, expectations of the
ultimate purchaser, ultimate use, and
channels of trade to in-scope quartz
surface products; June 22, 2023.

circular steel plates from China or a
third country and rims produced in
Thailand from rectangular steel plates
from China or a third country and
exported by Asia Wheel to the United
States are not covered by the AD/CVD
orders based on the plain language of
the scope, because the Chinese steel
plate components are neither finished
nor unfinished rims, discs, or steel
wheels. Further, certain models of
trailer wheels that Asia Wheel processes
in Thailand using discs from China and
rims produced in Thailand from
rectangular steel plates from China or a
third country and certain models of dual
wheel trailer wheels which Asia Wheel
processes in Thailand using discs
produced in Thailand from disc blanks
from China and rims from China, which
Asia Wheel exports to the United States,
are covered by the scope of the AD/CVD
orders based on a finding that the
products are not substantially
transformed by the third-country
processing in Thailand; April 11, 2023.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in
Appendix I to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and
is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping
and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In
addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we made no
changes to the margin calculations in the Preliminary Results for Megaa
Moda and NK Marine. However, we did make changes to our calculation of
the review-specific average rate assigned to the companies not selected
for individual review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ For further discussion, see Issues and Decision Memorandum
at Comment 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins for the period February 1, 2021, through
January 31, 2022:

Review-Specific Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual Review
The exporters or producers not selected for individual review are
listed in Appendix II.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 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 the
final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because Megaa Moda and NK Marine
reported the entered value for their U.S. sales, we calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value
was reported. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard
to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Megaa Moda or NK
Marine for which the reviewed companies did not know that the
merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies that were not selected for individual review, we
assigned an assessment rate based on the review-specific average rate,
calculated as noted in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section,
above. 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
[[Page 60433]]
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 reviewed companies will be
the rates shown above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent (de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), the cash deposit
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate
for all-other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17
percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\10\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 5147, 5148
(February 1, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only 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), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
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
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: August 25, 2023.
