SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 8, 2022, Commerce
published its final results in the 2019–
2020 AD review of xanthan gum from
the People’s Republic of China.
Commerce calculated a weighted-
average dumping margin of 154.07
percent for Meihua, a weighted-average
dumping margin of 0.00 percent for
Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co.,
Ltd. (aka Inner Mongolia Fufeng
Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/Shandong
Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang
Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd
(collectively, Fufeng), and reviewspecific average rates of 77.04 percent
for Jianlong and Deosen Biochemical
(Ordos) Ltd./Deosen Biochemical Ltd
(collectively, Deosen).1
Meihua, Deosen, and Jianlong
appealed Commerce’s Final Results. On
April 19, 2023, the CIT remanded the
Final Results to Commerce, ordering
Commerce to reconsider: (1) the
application of adverse facts available
(AFA) to Meihua; (2) the calculation of
the separate rate; and (3) whether
Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and Deosen
Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. should be
collapsed into a single entity.2
In its first remand redetermination,
issued in June 2023, Commerce found
that: (1) its application of AFA to
Meihua was appropriate; (2)
Commerce’s decision to not rescind its
review of Deosen Biochemical Ltd. was
proper because it continued to find it to
be collapsed with Deosen Biochemical
(Ordos) Ltd.; and (3) Commerce did not
need to recalculate the separate rate.3
The CIT remanded for a second time,
ordering Commerce to reconsider: (1)
the application of facts otherwise
available and total AFA to Meihua; (2)
the calculation of the separate rate; (3)
whether Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos), Ltd.
should be collapsed into a single entity;
and (4) whether the review of Deosen
Biochemical Ltd. should be rescinded.4
In its final remand redetermination,
issued in May 2024, Commerce found
that: (1) a rate of zero percent is
applicable for Meihua for the POR; (2)
the separate rate is now calculated at
zero percent for the POR; (3) Deosen
Biochemical Ltd. and Deosen
Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. did not
comprise a single entity during the POR;
and (4) the 2019–2020 administrative
review for Deosen Biochemical Ltd.
should be rescinded.5 The CIT sustained
Commerce’s final redetermination.6
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,7 as clarified
by Diamond Sawblades,8 the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held
that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act), Commerce must publish a
notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in
harmony’’ with a Commerce
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
July 29, 2024, judgment constitutes a
final decision of the CIT that is not in
harmony with Commerce’s Final
Results. Thus, this notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication
requirements of Timken.
Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court
judgment, Commerce is amending its
Final Results with respect to Meihua,
Jianlong, and Deosen Biochemical
(Ordos) Ltd. as follows:
Weightedaverage
dumping
margin
(percent)
Exporter
Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Meihua Amino Acid
Co., Ltd .............................................................................................................................................................................................

We note that Fufeng’s rate of zero
percent remains unchanged from the
Final Results as its rate was not subject
to litigation. In addition, the review for
Deosen Biochemical Ltd. is now
rescinded.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Meihua, Deosen Biochemical
(Ordos) Ltd., and Jianlong have a
superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there
have been final results published in a
subsequent administrative review, we
will not issue revised cash deposit
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). This notice will not
affect the current cash deposit rate.
Liquidation of Suspended Entries
At this time, Commerce remains
enjoined by CIT order from liquidating
entries that: were produced and/or
exported by Meihua, Deosen
Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd., and Jianlong
and were entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption during the
period July 1, 2019, through June 30,
2020. These entries will remain
enjoined pursuant to the terms of the
injunction during the pendency of any
appeals process.
In the event the CIT’s ruling is not
appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a
final and conclusive court decision,
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on
unliquidated entries of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported
by Meihua, Deosen Biochemical (Ordos)
Ltd., and Jianlong in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to
assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this
review when the importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is not zero or
de minimis. Where an import-specific
ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de
minimis,9 we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in
accordance with sections 516A(c) and

Background
On February 8, 2022, Commerce published its final results in the

Commerce calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 154.07 percent

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meihua, Deosen, and Jianlong appealed Commerce's Final Results. On
April 19, 2023, the CIT remanded the Final Results to Commerce,
ordering Commerce to reconsider: (1) the application of adverse facts
available (AFA) to Meihua; (2) the calculation of the separate rate;
and (3) whether Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and Deosen Biochemical (Ordos)
Ltd. should be collapsed into a single entity.\2\

States, 633 F. Supp. 3d 1203 (CIT 2023).

found that: (1) its application of AFA to Meihua was appropriate; (2)

found that: (1) a rate of zero percent is applicable for Meihua for the
POR; (2) the separate rate is now calculated at zero percent for the
POR; (3) Deosen Biochemical Ltd. and Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.
did not comprise a single entity during the POR; and (4) the 2019-2020

v. United States, Consol. Court No. 22-00069, Slip Op. 24-86 (CIT
July 29, 2024).

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,\7\ as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,\8\
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant
to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not ``in
harmony'' with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of
entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision. The CIT's July 29,
2024, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in
harmony with Commerce's Final Results. Thus, this notice is published
in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken.

Amended Final Results
Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending
its Final Results with respect to Meihua, Jianlong, and Deosen
Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd. as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited/ 0.00
Langfang Meihua Biotechnology Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Meihua
Amino Acid Co., Ltd....................................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jianlong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (formerly, Inner 0.00
Mongolia Jianlong Biochemical Co., Ltd)................
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd.......................... 0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We note that Fufeng's rate of zero percent remains unchanged from
the Final Results as its rate was not subject to litigation. In
addition, the review for Deosen Biochemical Ltd. is now rescinded.

Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Meihua, Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd., and Jianlong have
a superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results
published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue
revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP). This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate.
Liquidation of Suspended Entries
At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from
liquidating entries that: were produced and/or exported by Meihua,
Deosen Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd., and Jianlong and were entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period July 1,
2019, through June 30, 2020. These entries will remain enjoined
pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any
appeals process.
In the event the CIT's ruling is not appealed, or, if appealed,
upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of
subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Meihua, Deosen
Biochemical (Ordos) Ltd., and Jianlong in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b). We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-specific
ad valorem assessment rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an import-
specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis,\9\ we will
instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.
