Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues that parties
raised, and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, is attached as an 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

Final Results of the Review
For these final results, we determine that the following estimated
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period August 1, 2022,
through July 31, 2023:

Disclosure
Normally, Commerce discloses to parties in the proceeding the
calculations performed in connection with the final results of review
within five days of any public announcement or, if there is no public
announcement, within five days of the date of publication of the notice
of the 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 calculations to disclose.
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, 19 CFR 351.213, 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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), where
the respondent reported the entered value of its U.S. sales, 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 did not report entered value, we
calculated a per-unit assessment rate for each importer by dividing the
total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales made to that
importer by the total quantity associated with those sales. To
determine whether an importer-specific, per-unit assessment rate is de
minimis, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated an
importer-specific ad valorem ratio based on estimated entered values.
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'' will apply to entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by SMPC for which the
company did not know that the merchandise it sold to an intermediary
(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the
United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate
such entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ 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 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). The final results of this administrative
review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise under review and for future cash deposits of
estimated antidumping duties, where applicable.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication in the Federal Register of these final results of
administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise
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)
the cash deposit rate for SMPC will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margin established in these final results of this
administrative review (except if that rate is de minimis, in which
situation the cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for merchandise
exported by companies not covered in this review but covered in a prior
completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate published in the completed
segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review, or the less-than-fair-value 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 subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for
all other producers and exporters will continue to be the all-others
rate (i.e., 10.77 percent ad valorem).\7\ These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to an
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 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
This notice is being issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 26, 2025.
