Company (the petitioner) timely alleged
that Commerce made significant
ministerial errors in calculating
FUJIFILM Printing Plate (China) Co.,
Limited’s (Fujifilm) preliminary
estimated weighted-average dumping
margin.2
Scope of the Investigation
The products covered by this
investigation are printing plates from
China. For a complete description of the
scope of this investigation, see the
Preliminary Determination.3
Legal Framework
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e),
Commerce will correct any significant
ministerial error by amending the
preliminary determination. A
ministerial error is defined as including
errors ‘‘in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function, clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which {Commerce} considers
ministerial.’’ 4 A ministerial error is
considered to be ‘‘significant’’ if its
correction, either singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) a change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in
the preliminary determination; or (2) a
difference between a weighted-average
dumping margin of zero (or de minimis)
and a weighted-average dumping
margin of greater than de minimis or
vice versa.5
Analysis of Significant Ministerial
Errors
The petitioner alleged that: (1)
Commerce’s conversion of surrogate
value (SV) information, from a perkilogram to a per-pound basis for direct
material and packing inputs, results in
a mismatch in the units of measure
between the SV information and
Fujifilm’s reported data; (2) Commerce
erroneously converted the natural gas
and steam surrogate values from
kilograms to pounds, not to cubic
meters and metric tons; and (3)
Commerce did not include certain
packing input variables in the
calculation of the PACKING variable,
which is used in the calculation of
2 See Petitioner’s Letter, ‘‘Petitioner’s Comments
on Significant Ministerial Errors in Preliminary
Margin Calculations,’’ dated May 6, 2024 (Petitioner
Ministerial Errors Allegation).
3 See Preliminary Determination, 89 FR at 35064.
4 See section 735(e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act); see also 19 CFR 351.224(f).
5 See 19 CFR 351.224(g).

normal value.6 In the Preliminary
Determination, when calculating SVs for
Fujifilm, we inadvertently converted the
SVs to pounds, resulting in a mismatch
to Fujifilm’s factors of production,
which were reported on a kilogram
basis.7 In addition, we inadvertently
excluded certain packing inputs from
the calculation of normal value.8
Commerce finds that the allegations
by the petitioner constitute significant
ministerial errors within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.224(f) and (g)(1), because
correcting for these errors increases
Fujifilm’s preliminary weighted-average
dumping margin from 38.57 to 164.31
percent, which is a change that is at
least five absolute percentage points in,
but not less than 25 percent of, the
weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for Fujifilm in the
Preliminary Determination.
Furthermore, in the Preliminary
Determination, Commerce preliminarily
determined that it was appropriate to
use the facts available in determining
the rate of the China-wide entity,
pursuant to sections 776(a)(1) and
(2)(A)–(C) of the Act,9 including the use
of an adverse inference, pursuant to
section 776(b) of the Act.10 In selecting
a rate to apply to the China-wide entity,
Commerce selects a rate that is
sufficiently adverse to ensure that the
uncooperative party does not obtain a
more favorable result by failing to
cooperate than if it had fully
cooperated.11 In an investigation, it is
Commerce’s practice with respect to the
assignment of an adverse facts available
(AFA) rate to select the higher of the: (a)
highest margin alleged in the petition;
or (b) the highest calculated rate of any
respondent in the investigation.12 As a
