antidumping duty order on chlorinated isos from China.\1\ For details

Issues and Decision Memorandum.\2\

China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review; 2022-2023, 89 FR 56303 (July 9, 2024) (Preliminary Results),
and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).

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
<a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>. In addition, a complete version of the Issues
and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at <a href="https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx">https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx</a>.
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
\7\ For an explanation on the derivation of the China-wide rate,
see Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value:
Chlorinated Isocyanurates from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR
24502, 24505 (May 10, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
