Background
This review covers one producer/exporter of the subject
merchandise, Electrolux Home Products, Inc., Electrolux Home Products
Corp. N.V. and Electrolux Home Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V.
(collectively, Electrolux). On March 2, 2023, Commerce published the
preliminary results of this administrative review and invited
interested parties to comment.\1\ On April 3, 2023, we received a case
brief on behalf of Electrolux.\2\ We received no other comments from
interested parties on the Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

\5\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Final Results
of the 2021-2022 Administrative Review of the Antidumping Duty Order
on Large Residential Washers from Mexico,'' dated concurrently with,
and hereby adopted by, this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
Electrolux regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain changes
to the preliminary weighted-average margin for Electrolux.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finals Results of Review
As a result of this review, we determine that the following
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the respondent for the
period February 1, 2021, through January 31, 2022:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-average
Producer/exporter dumping margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electrolux Home Products, Inc., Electrolux Home 1.89
Products Corp. N.V., Electrolux Home Products de
Mexico, S.A. de C.V...............................
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disclosure of Calculations
We intend to disclose the calculations performed in connection with
these final results to interested parties within five days of the date
of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
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)
[[Page 31677]]
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), Electrolux reported the entered
value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-specific ad
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where 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 assessment
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 Electrolux for which
the company did not know that the merchandise it 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 of 36.52 percent
\7\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Order.
\8\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no
earlier than 41 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 exporter
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be
36.52 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation.\9\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the Secretary'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
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: May 11, 2023.
Lisa W. Wang,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
