Guangzhou Jingye Machinery Co., Ltd.
(Jingye) and Guangzhou Ulix Industrial
& Trading Co., Ltd. (Ulix), in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(b)(1), to conduct
an administrative review of the Order of
those two companies.3
On February 8, 2024, Commerce
published in the Federal Register a
notice of initiation of administrative
review with respect to imports of kegs
exported by Jingye and Ulix, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).4 On
February 21, 2024, we placed on the
record U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) data for entries of kegs
from China during the POR, showing no
reviewable POR entries and invited
interested parties to comment.5 No
interested party submitted comments to
Commerce regarding the CBP data.
On March 11, 2024, Ulix submitted a
separate rate certification that it
exported or sold subject merchandise to
the United States during the POR.6 On
July 16, 2024, Commerce issued a
supplemental questionnaire to Ulix, and
Ulix responded on July 26, 2024,
certifying that it did not have a
reviewable sale or entry during the POR
and that their separate rate certification
had been made in error.7
On July 22, 2024, Commerce tolled
certain deadlines in this administrative
proceeding by seven days.8 The
deadline for the preliminary results is
now September 9, 2024.
On July 29, 2024, Commerce notified
all interested parties of its intent to
rescind the instant review in full
because there were no reviewable,
suspended entries of subject
merchandise by either of the two
companies listed in the Initiation Notice
during the POR and invited comments
from interested parties.9 No interested
party submitted comments to Commerce
in response to this notice.

administrative review of an
antidumping duty order when there are
no reviewable entries of subject
merchandise during the POR for which
liquidation is suspended.10 Normally,
upon completion of an administrative
review, the suspended entries are
liquidated at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.11 Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted,
there must be a reviewable, suspended
entry that Commerce can instruct CBP
to liquidate at the antidumping duty
assessment rate calculated for the
review period.12 As noted above, there
were no entries of subject merchandise
for either of the two companies listed in
the Initiation Notice during the POR.
Accordingly, in the absence of
suspended entries of subject
merchandise during the POR, we are
hereby rescinding this administrative
review, in its entirety, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries. Antidumping duties shall be
assessed at rates equal to the cash
deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or
withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, in accordance with 19
CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP
no earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of this rescission notice in
the Federal Register.
