Thus, the weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity, as adjusted for export subsidies (i.e., 112.01 percent),10 is not subject to change as a result of this review. Final Results of Review Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists for Tianjin Hweschun for the period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022: Weightedaverage dumping margin (percent) Exporter Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners Manufacturing Co., Ltd .................................... 0.00 ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Disclosure We intend to disclose the calculations performed to parties in this proceeding within five days of the date of publication of this notice 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. Commerce intends 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). For Tianjin Hweschun, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.11 For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Tianjin Hweschun during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 112.01 percent). For the companies identified as part of the China-wide entity (i.e., China Staple, Shanghai Yueda, and Shijiazhuang Shuangming), we will instruct CBP to apply the China-wide rate to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were exported by these companies. 10 See Order, 86 FR at 43816. The weightedaverage dumping margin for the China-wide entity (122.55 percent) was adjusted for export subsidies to determine the cash deposit rate (112.01 percent) for companies in the China-wide entity. 11 See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:23 Dec 06, 2023 Jkt 262001 For Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohai, Tianjin Jinyifeng, and Unicorn Fasteners, which Commerce determined had no shipments of the subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries that entered under each of these exporters’ case numbers (i.e., at that exporter’s cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the rate for the China-wide entity, consistent with Commerce’s assessment practice in non-market economy cases.12 Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash 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) the cash deposit rate for Tianjin Hweschun will be zero; (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., 112.01 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 nonChinese exporter. These per-unit 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 and/or countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or increase in 12 For a full discussion of this practice, see Assessment Practice Refinement, 76 FR at 65694.

I. Abstract

    The Bayh-Dole Act (35 U.S.C. 18) and its implementing regulations
