We intend to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results. 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). Because Fushun Jinly did not report entered value, we calculated a per-unit rate for each importer (or customer) by dividing the total amount of dumping calculated for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess the resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject merchandise. Where an importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to assess that importer’s (or customer’s) entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Fushun Jinly during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the antidumping duty assessment rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 159.64 percent).

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made one 
revision to the margin calculation for Fushun Jinly as explained in 
Comment 2 of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Results of the Review

    Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for Fushun Jinly for the period February 1, 2021, through 
January 31, 2022:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fushun Jinly Petrochemical Carbon Co., Ltd.............           30.14

    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,\5\ we did not conduct 
a review of the China-wide entity. Thus, the weighted-average dumping 
margin for the China-wide

of this review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed within five days 
of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding 
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
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 these final results of review. We intend 
to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after 
the date of publication of these final results. 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).
    Because Fushun Jinly did not report entered value, we calculated a 
per-unit rate for each importer (or customer) by dividing the total 
amount of dumping calculated for reviewed sales to that party by the 
total sales quantity associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess 
the resulting per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject 
merchandise. Where an importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate 
is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will 
instruct CBP to assess that importer's (or customer's) entries of 
subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). For entries that were not reported in the 
U.S. sales database submitted by Fushun Jinly during this review, 
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the antidumping 
duty assessment rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 159.64 percent).

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative 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 by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for Fushun Jinly the 
cash deposit rate will be the margin listed above; (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed 
above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed 
segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (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 equal to the 
weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity (i.e.,159.64 
percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise 
which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied 
that non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 has occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
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), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. 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 which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
