Background
This review covers 163 producers and/or exporters of the subject
merchandise. Commerce selected two mandatory respondents for individual
examination: LNSK Green House Agro Products LLP (LNSK) and Royal
Imports and Exports (Royal). The producers/exporters not selected for
individual examination are listed in Appendix II.
On March 1, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ For a complete description of

Verification
Commerce was unable to conduct on-site verification of the
information relied upon for the final results of this review. However,
we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify
this information, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Commerce's Letters, In-Lieu of On-Site Verification
Questionnaires, dated March 28, 2022; see also LNSK's Letter, ``LNSK
Green House Agro Products LLP Response to Questionnaire in lieu of
Verification,'' dated April 6, 2022; and Royal's Letter, ``Royal
Imports and Exports' Response to Questionnaire in lieu of
Verification,'' dated April 6, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we made no
changes to our margin calculations in the Preliminary Results.
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins for the period February 1, 2020, through
January 31, 2021:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LNSK Green House Agro Products LLP.......................... 0.00
Royal Imports and Exports................................... 3.01
Companies Not Selected for Individual Review \6\............ 3.01
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Review-Specific Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual Review
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate
is normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of the
estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters
and producers individually examined, excluding any margins that are
zero or de minimis margins, and any margins determined entirely {on
the basis of facts available{time} .'' Because the margin calculated
for LNSK is zero, we have assigned a dumping margin to these
companies based on the rate calculated for Royal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The exporters or producers not selected for individual review are
listed in Appendix II.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of 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 of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of
this review.
Persuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because LNSK and Royal reported
the entered value for their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific
ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount
of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total
entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where
either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-
specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by LNSK or Royal for
which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they
sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or
exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies that were not selected for individual review, we
assigned an assessment rate based on the review-specific rate,
calculated as noted in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section,
above.\8\ The final results of this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by
the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR
32835 (July 16, 2018).
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
[[Page 40505]]
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 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 rates for the reviewed companies will be
the rates shown above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent (de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), the cash deposit
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the less-
than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period
for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate
for all-other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17
percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\10\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 5147, 5148
(February 1, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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 Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition 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 return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 29, 2022.
