Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we made certain changes to the
margin calculation for mandatory
respondent Wuyi Xilinde Machinery
Manufacture Co., Ltd. (Wuyi Xilinde),
and consequently, the rate assigned to
the non-examined separate rate
respondents.6 For detailed information,
see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we
preliminarily determined that Zhejiang
Kin-Shine Technology Co., Ltd.
(Zhejiang Kin-Shine) had no shipments
of subject merchandise to the United
States during the POR.7 No party filed
comments with respect to this
preliminary determination, and we
received no information to contradict it.
Therefore, we continue to find that
Zhejiang Kin-Shine had no shipments of
subject merchandise during the POR
and will issue appropriate liquidation
instructions that are consistent with our
‘‘automatic assessment’’ instructions for
these final results.8
Separate Rate Respondents
In our Preliminary Results, we
determined that Wuyi Xilinde, and two
other companies demonstrated their
eligibility for separate rates.9 We
received no information or arguments
since the issuance of the Preliminary
Results that provide a basis for
reconsideration of these determinations.
Therefore, for these final results, we
continue to find that the two companies
listed in the table in the ‘‘Final Results’’
section of this notice are each eligible
for a separate rate, in addition to Wuyi
Xilinde.

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate
Respondents
Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act,
Commerce’s usual practice in
determining the rate for separate rate
respondents not selected for individual
examination is to average the weightedaverage dumping margins for the
selected companies, excluding rates that
are zero, de minimis, or based entirely
on facts available.10 In the Preliminary
Results,11 consistent with Commerce’s
practice,12 we assigned the nonexamined, separate rate companies the
margin calculated for Wuyi Xilinde,
which was not zero, de minimis, or
based entirely on facts available. No
parties commented on the methodology
for calculating this separate rate. As
such, for these final results, we have
assigned the 87.26 percent weightedaverage dumping margin calculated for
Wuyi Xilinde to the two non-examined
respondents which qualify for a separate
rate in this review, consistent with
Commerce’s practice and section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
Final Results of Review
We determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margins
exist for the period October 30, 2020,
through April 30, 2022:

Weighted-average

Disclosure
We intend to disclose to interested

five days of the date of the publication
of this notice in the Federal Register 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
will determine, and U.S. Customs and

assign a 4.22 percent dumping margin to the
separate rate respondents in a segment where the
three mandatory respondents received dumping
margins of 4.22 percent, 0.03 percent, and zero
percent, respectively).

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review. 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).
For Wuyi Xilinde, which has a final
weighted-average dumping margin that
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than
0.5 percent), we will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for that
respondent, in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), where the respondent
reported the entered value of its U.S.
sales, we will calculate importerspecific ad valorem assessment rates
based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the
sales for which entered value was
reported. Where the respondent did not
report entered value, we will calculate
importer-specific per-unit duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total quantity of those sales. To
determine whether an importer-specific
per-unit assessment rate is de minimis
in accordance with 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will also calculate an
importer-specific ad valorem ratio based
on estimated entered values.
For the respondents which were not
selected for individual examination in
this administrative review, and which
qualified for a separate rate, the
assessment rate will be equal to the rate
assigned to them for these final results
(i.e., 87.26 percent).
Pursuant to a refinement in our nonmarket economy practice, for sales that
were not reported in the U.S. sales data
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, we will
instruction CBP to liquidate entries
associated with those sales at the rate
for the China-wide entity. Furthermore,
where we found that an exporter under
review had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries
that entered under that exporter’s case
number (i.e., at that exporter’s cash
deposit rate) will be liquidated at the
rate for the China-wide entity.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments
of subject merchandise 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 rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to each
company’s weighted-average dumping
margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (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., 101.67
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 the nonChinese 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
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount
of antidumping duties by the amount of
the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to an 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). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is

initiated a countervailing duty (CVD)
investigation of imports of aluminum
lithographic printing plates (printing
plates) from the People’s Republic of
China (China).1 Currently, the
preliminary determination is due no
later than December 22, 2023.
Postponement of Preliminary
Determination
Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), requires
Commerce to issue the preliminary
determination in a CVD investigation
within 65 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation.
However, section 703(c)(1) of the Act
permits Commerce to postpone the
preliminary determination until no later
than 130 days after the date on which
Commerce initiated the investigation if:
(A) the petitioner makes a timely
request for a postponement; or (B)
Commerce concludes that the parties
concerned are cooperating, that the
investigation is extraordinarily
complicated, and that additional time is
necessary to make a preliminary
determination. Under 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner must submit a
request for postponement 25 days or
more before the scheduled date of the
preliminary determination and must
state the reasons for the request.
Commerce will grant the request unless
it finds compelling reasons to deny the
request.
On November 27, 2023, Eastman
Kodak Company (the petitioner) timely
filed a request for Commerce to
postpone the preliminary CVD
determination.2 The petitioner
requested postponement of the
preliminary determination because
Commerce needs additional time to
collect and analyze questionnaire
responses from the Government of
China and the mandatory respondents
in this investigation, and issue
supplemental questionnaires.3
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.205(e), the petitioner has stated the
reasons for requesting a postponement
of the preliminary determination, and
Commerce finds no compelling reason
to deny the request. Therefore, in
accordance with section 703(c)(1)(A) of
the Act, Commerce is postponing the
deadline for the preliminary
determination to no later than 130 days
after the date on which this

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents
Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, Commerce's usual practice in
determining the rate for separate rate respondents not selected for
individual examination is to average the weighted-average dumping
margins for the selected companies, excluding rates that are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available.\10\ In the Preliminary
Results,\11\ consistent with Commerce's practice,\12\ we assigned the
non-examined, separate rate companies the margin calculated for Wuyi
Xilinde, which was not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts
available. No parties commented on the methodology for calculating this
separate rate. As such, for these final results, we have assigned the
87.26 percent weighted-average dumping margin calculated for Wuyi
Xilinde to the two non-examined respondents which qualify for a
separate rate in this review, consistent with Commerce's practice and
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.

F. Supp. 2d 1344, 1357-60 (CIT 2008) (affirming Commerce's
determination to assign a 4.22 percent dumping margin to the
separate rate respondents in a segment where the three mandatory
respondents received dumping margins of 4.22 percent, 0.03 percent,
and zero percent, respectively).

Disclosure
We intend to disclose to interested parties the calculations and
analysis performed for these final results within five days of the date
of the publication of this notice in the Federal Register 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 will determine, 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.
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).
For Wuyi Xilinde, which has a final weighted-average dumping margin
that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific assessment rates for that respondent, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
where the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, we
will calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates based on
the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined
sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value
was reported. Where the respondent did not report entered value, we
will calculate importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates based
on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for
the examined sales to the total quantity of those sales. To determine
whether an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate is de minimis in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will also calculate an
importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values.
For the respondents which were not selected for individual
examination in this administrative review, and which qualified for a
separate rate, the assessment rate will be equal to the rate assigned
to them for these final results (i.e., 87.26 percent).
Pursuant to a refinement in our non-market economy practice, for
sales that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by
companies individually examined during this review, we will instruction
CBP to liquidate entries associated with those sales at the rate for
the China-wide entity. Furthermore, where we found that an exporter
under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that
exporter's cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the
China-wide entity.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements for estimated antidumping
duties will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise
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 rate
for the companies listed above will be equal to each company's
weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of
this administrative review; (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., 101.67
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
the 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 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping
duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the
amount of the countervailing duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to an
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). Timely written
notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
[[Page 85219]]
hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms
of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: November 30, 2023.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
