SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 30, 2025, Commerce published in the Federal Register a
notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the CVD
order on certain quartz surface products from China.\1\ Commerce
received a timely request for review of the CVD order from Karinastone
(Malaysia) Sdn Bhd (Karinastone), an exporter of the subject
merchandise.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Antidumping or Countervailing Duty Order, Finding, or
Suspended Investigation; Opportunity to Request Administrative
Review and Join Annual Inquiry Service List, 90 FR 27841 (June 30,
2025).
\2\ See Karinastone's Letter, ``Karinastone Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated July 31, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 22, 2025, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), Commerce
published the initiation notice in the Federal Register.\3\ On
September 12, 2025, we notified interested parties that information
from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) indicated that there were
no POR entries of the subject merchandise.\4\ Further, on September 22,
2025, we notified interested parties of our intent to rescind this
administrative review due to a lack of suspended entries.\5\ We
received no comments from interested parties regarding our intent to
rescind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 41043 (August 22, 2025).
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Customs Entry Data from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection,'' dated September 12, 2025.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, in
Part,'' dated September 22, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to
rescind an administrative review of a CVD order where it concludes that
there were there are no entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which liquidation is suspended.\6\ Normally, upon completion of an
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the CVD
rates calculated for the review period.\7\ Therefore, for an
administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable,
suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the
calculated CVD rates for the review period.\8\ As noted above, there
were no suspended entries of subject merchandise for the company under
review during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable,
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby
rescinding this administrative review in its entirety, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
