importer-specific, per-unit assessment
rate is de minimis, in accordance with
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated
an importer-specific ad valorem ratio
based on estimated entered values.
Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), 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. Pursuant to a
refinement in our non-market economy
practice, for sales that were not reported
in the U.S. sales data submitted by
ZXM/XMT and Hangzhou Evernew
during this review, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate entries associated with
those sales at the rate for the China-wide
entity.8
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
weighted-average dumping margin
assigned to them for the final results.
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).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of
administrative review for all shipments
of subject merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on, or after, the
publication date of the final results of
review, as provided for by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash
deposit rates for the companies
identified above in the ‘‘Final Results of
Review’’ section will be equal to the
company-specific weighted-average
dumping margin established in the final
results of this administrative review; (2)
for a previously investigated or
reviewed exporter of subject
merchandise not listed in the final
results of review that has a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the exporter’s existing cash deposit rate;
(3) for all Chinese exporters of subject

merchandise that do not have a separate
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
cash deposit rate established for the
China-wide entity, i.e., 322.25 percent; 9
and (4) for all exporters of subject
merchandise that are not located in
China and that are not eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be the rate applicable to the China
exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
As discussed in the Preliminary
Results, we preliminarily determined
that the record no longer supports a
finding that ZXM should be collapsed
with XMT subsequent to January 13,
2022, as ZXM ceased involvement with
the production and/or exportation of
subject merchandise prior to the POR,
was acquired by an unrelated thirdparty a month prior, and all indicia of
affiliation and/or control between the
two companies ceased as of that date.10
Accordingly, we continue to review the
single entity for the February 11, 2021,
through January 13, 2022, segment of
this review and for the purposes of
subsequent assessment. This finding has
not changed for the final results as no
new evidence to the contrary has been
timely placed on the record. Therefore,
because XMT remains the only
component of the former ZXM/XMT
entity involved in the exportation of
subject merchandise in the final results,
we will assign the cash deposit rate only
to XMT as the exporter, and instruct
CBP to discontinue the ZXM/XMT
combination rate.
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 POR. 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 (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 return/
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
