Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and the comment received from
interested parties, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Final Determination of No Shipments
Commerce preliminarily found that 24 exporters had not shipped
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR.\5\ As noted in
the Preliminary Results, we received no-shipment certifications from
these exporters, and their statements were consistent with the
information we received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ These 24 exporters are: (1) Anhui Hoda Wood Co., Ltd.; (2)
Celtic Co., Ltd.; (3) Cosco Star International Co., Ltd.; (4) Happy
Wood Industrial Group Co., Ltd.; (5) Jiaxing Hengtong Wood Co.,
Ltd.; (6) Linyi Chengen Import and Export Co., Ltd.; (7) Linyi
Evergreen Wood Co., Ltd.; (8) Linyi Glary Plywood Co., Ltd.; (9)
Linyi Huasheng Yongbin Wood Co., Ltd.; (10) Linyi Jiahe Wood
Industry Co., Ltd.; (11) Linyi Sanfortune Wood Co., Ltd.; (12)
Qingdao Top P&Q International Corp.; (13) Shandong Qishan

dated May 12, 2020; May 14, 2020, May 15, 2020, May 19, 2020, and

respect to the companies below during the period 01/01/2019 through
12/31/2019,'' dated July 9, 2020, and July 17, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although we received comments from the petitioner \7\ on our
preliminary no-shipment findings with respect to these 24 companies, we
find that these comments provide no basis to change our preliminary
findings. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that
these 24 exporters had no shipments of subject merchandise to the
United States during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ The petitioner is the Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood
Plywood.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
China-Wide Entity
With the exception of the aforementioned 24 exporters that
submitted no-shipment certifications, we find all other companies for
which a review was requested, including Yuantai, to be part of the
China-wide entity. Accordingly, the companies listed in Appendix I are
part of the China-wide entity.
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and
Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity as an exporter
conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we did not conduct a
review of the China-wide entity. The rate previously established for
the China-wide entity is 183.36 percent and is not subject to change as
a result of this review.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
We have not calculated any assessment rates in this administrative
review. Based on record evidence, we have determined that the
aforementioned 24 exporters had no shipments of subject merchandise,
and, therefore, pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, any
suspended entries entered under their case numbers will be liquidated
at the China-wide entity rate.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For all remaining companies subject to this review, which are part
of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their
entries at the current rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36
percent). 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 upon
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of
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 previously-investigated or
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate
rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, and which were not assigned
the China-wide rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most
recently-completed period; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate
(including the companies listed in Appendix I), the cash deposit rate
will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 183.36 percent); and (3)
for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which 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 cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 315.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
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). 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
These final results are issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: November 5, 2021.
