The hog rings subject to the exclusion are collated using glue, adhesive, or tape. The hog rings subject to this exclusion have either a 90 degree blunt point or 15–75 degree divergent point. Certain collated steel staples subject to this Order are currently classifiable under subheading 8305.20.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). While the HTSUS subheading and ASTM specification are provided for convenience and for customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is dispositive. Final Determination of No Shipments In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui had no shipments of certain collated steel staples during the POR, based on Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s timely submitted no-shipment certification and our analysis of information from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We received no comments with respect to our preliminary finding. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to determine that Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.3 lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Assessment Rates Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b). As Commerce continues to find that Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to assess any suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui at the China-wide rate (i.e., 112.01 percent). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results of 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 3 See Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s Letter, ‘‘Submission of Statement of No Shipment,’’ dated October 11, 2023; see also Memoranda, ‘‘No Shipment Inquiry for Zhejiang Best Nail Industrial Co., Ltd. and Shaoxing Bohui Import & Export Co., Ltd. during the period 07/01/2022 through 06/30/ 2023,’’ dated November 6, 2023; and ‘‘Placing CBP Entry Documents on the Record,’’ dated January 19, 2024.

Cash Deposit Requirements The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the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) Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s cash deposit rate will continue to be its existing rate, 0.0 percent; 4 (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for which a review was not requested and that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recently-completed period; (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 the rate for the China-wide entity; and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties This notice 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. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protective orders (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 4 See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People’s Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; Final Determination of No Shipments; and Partial Rescission; 2020–2021, 88 FR 8800, 8801 (February 10, 2023).
