Scope of the Order 5 The products covered by this Order are wooden cabinets and vanities For full description of the scope of the Order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Partial Rescission of Review Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce’s practice to rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended.6 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.7 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.8 Commerce found during this administrative review that, for certain companies listed in the in the Initiation Notice, there were no reviewable entries during the POR.9 As a result, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review for certain companies listed in appendix IV of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). individual examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act.

E:\FR\FM\12NON1.SGM 12NON1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 218 / Tuesday, November 12, 2024 / Notices Disclosure Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because we have made no changes to Ancientree’s and Weisen’s margin calculations from the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to disclose. khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Assessment Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Ancientree, and Weisen, we calculated importerspecific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer’s examined sales and the total entered value of the sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be liquidated without regard to antidumping duties. For all non-selected separate rate applicants subject to this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the average of the rates calculated for Ancientree and Weisen as listed above.15 For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Ancientree and Weisen for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction. For the companies for which the review is rescinded, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter’s case number (i.e., at that exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the rate as entered. For all other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the antidumping duty assessment rate of the China-wide entity, 251.64 percent, to all 14 See Appendix II. Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4. 15 See VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:35 Nov 08, 2024 Jkt 265001 entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.16 Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 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 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 for all shipments of the 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) the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will be the rate established in these final results of the review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (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 equal to the weighted-average dumping margin for the China-wide entity (i.e., 251.64 percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter.17 These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce’s presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties. Administrative Protective Order This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an administrative protective order (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 proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order when 
there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for which liquidation is suspended.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the 
antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.\7\ 
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.\8\ Commerce found during this administrative review 
that, for certain companies listed in the in the Initiation Notice, 
there were no reviewable entries during the POR.\9\ As a result, in the 
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we 
are hereby rescinding this administrative review for certain companies 
listed in appendix IV of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.213(d)(3).

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the parties' briefs are addressed in the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed is 
included as appendix I to this notice. The Issues and Decision 
Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via 
Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 
registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete

changes to the Preliminary Results. For a more detailed discussion of 
the issues raised by parties, see the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum.\10\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rates for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents

    Commerce determines that 18 companies, not individually examined, 
are eligible for separate rates in this administrative review.\11\ The 
Act and Commerce's regulations do not address the establishment of a 
separate rate to be applied to companies not selected for individual 
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative 
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce 
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for 
calculating the all-others rate in an investigation, for guidance when 
calculating the rate for separate rate respondents which Commerce did 
not examine individually in an administrative review. For the final 
results of this review, Commerce determined the estimated dumping 
margins for Ancientree and Weisen to be zero. For the reasons explained 
in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we are assigning this rate to 
the non-examined respondents which qualify for a separate rate in this 
review.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Appendix II.
    \12\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    As stated in the Preliminary Results, because no party requested a 
review of the China-wide entity is not under review and the China-wide 
entity's rate, i.e., 251.64 percent, is not subject to change.\13\ 
Commerce considers all other companies, listed in appendix III of this 
notice, for which a review was requested, and which did not demonstrate 
separate rate eligibility, to be part of the China-wide entity, 
including Jiangsu Sunwell Cabinetry Co., Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR 35785.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Administrative Review

    Commerce determines that the following estimated weighted-average 
dumping margin exists for the administrative review covering the period 
April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Weighted-average
                      Exporter                          dumping margin
                                                           (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jiangsu Weisen Houseware Co., Ltd...................                0.00
The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd.....................                0.00

Disclosure
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Appendix II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
of the final results of an administrative review within five days of a 
public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, within five 
days of the date of publication of the notice of final results in the 
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). However, 
because we have made no changes to Ancientree's and Weisen's margin 
calculations from the Preliminary Results, there are no calculations to 
disclose.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protections (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), for Ancientree, and 
Weisen, we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment 
rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for 
each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the 
sales. Where an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis 
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries by that importer will be 
liquidated without regard to antidumping duties.
    For all non-selected separate rate applicants subject to this 
review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject 
merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the 
average of the rates calculated for Ancientree and Weisen as listed 
above.\15\ For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced 
by Ancientree and Weisen for which they did not know their merchandise 
was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to 
liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate if there is no rate for 
the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Comment 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies for which the review is rescinded, any suspended 
entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that 
exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the rate as entered. For all 
other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the antidumping duty 
assessment rate of the China-wide entity, 251.64 percent, to all 
entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 38021 (June 12, 2023) (``All firms 
listed below that wish to qualify for separate rate status in the 
administrative reviews involving NME countries must complete, as 
appropriate, either a Separate Rate Application or Certification, as 
described below.'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier 
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this 
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 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 for all 
shipments of the 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) the cash deposit rate for the companies 
subject to this review will be the rate established in these final 
results of the review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed 
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific 
rate published for the most recently completed segment of this 
proceeding in which they were reviewed; (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 equal to the weighted-
average dumping margin for the China-wide entity (i.e., 251.64 
percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise 
which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter(s) that supplied 
that non- Chinese exporter.\17\ These cash deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See Order, 85 FR at 22126.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Certification

    Following the publication of this notice, the importer, or the 
importer's agent, must continue to submit any required certifications 
to CBP as part of the entry process by uploading them into the document 
imaging system in CBP's Automated Commercial Environment at the time of 
entry summary filing. Consistent with CBP's procedures, importers shall 
also identify entries required to have certifications by using 
importers' additional declaration (record 54) AD/CVD Certification 
Designation (type code 06) when filing entry summary.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2024; see also, Announcing an Importer's Additional Declaration in 
the Automated Commercial Environment Specific to Antidumping/
Countervailing Duty Certifications, 89 FR 7372 (February 2, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    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 has 
occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, 
and/or an increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of 
countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an administrative protective order (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 proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order 
is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms 
of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This determination is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5) 
and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).
