We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs
filed in this administrative review in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the
sections in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is in the appendix to
this notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document

Decision Memorandum and the electronic version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
We made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Separate Rates
No parties commented on our preliminary separate rate findings.
Therefore, we have continued to grant Ailong (the mandatory respondent)
separate rate status.
Final Results of Review
We are assigning following dumping margin to the firm listed below
for the period August 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted
average
Producer or exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hangzhou Ailong Metal Products Co., Ltd................. 157.40
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure
Normally, Commerce will disclose to the parties in a proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with a final results of review
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, here, Commerce made no adjustments to the margin calculation
methodology used in the Preliminary Results; therefore, there are no
calculations to disclose for the final results.
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)(1), Commerce has determined,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.\3\ Commerce
intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days
after the date of publication date 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or
de minimis, or where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or
per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.\4\
For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted
by an exporter individually examined during this review, but that
entered under the case number of that exporter (i.e., at the
individually-examined exporter's cash deposit rate), Commerce will
instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e.,
264.64 percent).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012).
\5\ See Order, 73 FR at 45403.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For any individually-examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), we will
calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio
of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for each
importer's examined sales and the total entered value of the sales, in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the respondents not eligible for a separate rate and that are
part of the China-wide entity, we intend to instruct CBP to apply an ad
valorem assessment rate of 264.64 percent (i.e., the China-wide entity
rate) to all entries of subject merchandise during the POR that were
exported by these companies.
Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under review
had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number will be liquidated at the
China-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) For the exporters listed in the table above, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established in the final results of review that
is listed for the exporter in the table; (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed in
the table above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise
that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate previously established for the China-wide
entity, which is 264.64 percent; and (4) for all non-China exporters of
subject merchandise which
[[Page 13970]]
have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China
exporter. The cash 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)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant POR entries. Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under an 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 sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: March 7, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
