SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

antidumping duty order on chlorinated isos from China.\1\ For details 
of the events that occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised by interested parties in the case and rebuttal 
briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of 
the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided 
in the appendix 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 version of the Issues 
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.

Separate Rate Eligibility

    In the Preliminary Results, we found that Heze Huayi and Kangtai 
demonstrated their eligibility for separate rates.\5\ As we received no 
information or interested party arguments to the contrary since the 
issuance of the Preliminary Results, we continue to find that Heze 
Huayi and Kangtai are each eligible for a separate rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Preliminary Results, 89 FR at 56303-04.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the China-
wide entity applies to this administrative review.\6\ Under this 
policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, 
we did not review the entity in this segment of the proceeding. Thus, 
the China-wide entity's rate (i.e., 285.63 percent) \7\ did not change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

Final Results of Review

    Based on our review of the record, and comments received from 
interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results, we made no 
changes in the margins calculated for Heze Huayi and Kangtai. Commerce 
determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist 
for Heze Huayi and Kangtai for the period of June 1, 2022 through May 
31, 2023:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                          Exporter                              dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heze Huayi Chemical Co., Ltd................................        9.05
Juancheng Kangtai Chemical Co., Ltd.........................       11.76
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 made no changes from the Preliminary Results, there are no 
new calculations to disclose.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and 
U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance 
with these final results of review. Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date 
of publication of these final results. If a timely summons is filed at 
the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will 
direct CBP

[[Page 9711]]

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).
    For the individually-examined respondents in this review which have 
final weighted-average dumping margins that are not zero or de minimis 
(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate importer- (or 
customer-) specific per-unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio 
of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's (or 
customer's) examined sales to the total sales quantity associated with 
those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will also 
calculate (estimated) ad valorem importer-specific assessment rates 
with which to determine whether the per-unit assessment rates are de 
minimis. Where an importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rate is 
zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate 
entries without regard to antidumping duties.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the exporters 
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the 
final results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de 
minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company); 
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China 
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing producer/exporter-specific rate 
published for the most recent period; (3) for all China exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be eligible for a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 
285.63 percent; and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject 
merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter(s) that supplied 
that non-China 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) to file a certificate regarding 
the reimbursement of antidumping 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 duties and/or countervailing duties has occurred and the 
subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or increase in 
the amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing 
duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
an 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 which 
is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 7, 2025.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations, performing the 
non-exclusive functions and duties of the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance.
