Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Banduoo,
Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments of the
subject merchandise during the POR.\4\ As no interested party filed
comments regarding the Preliminary Results, we continue to find that
Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He did not have any
shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and intend to issue
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
based on the final results of this review.\5\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
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.\6\ Because we continue to find in
these final results that Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen
Yi-He had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries that entered under
their antidumping duty case numbers (i.e., at that exporter's rate) at
the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the transaction. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions for Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and
Xiamen Yi-He to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of
this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates
for Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He will remain
unchanged from the rate assigned to them in the most recently completed
review of those companies; (2) for merchandise exported by
manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a
prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to
be the company-specific rate published from the most recently completed
segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, or
the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, then the cash
deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recently
completed segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will
continue to be 4.37 percent, the all-others rate determined in the
less-than-fair-value investigation.\7\ These cash deposit requirements,
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice also 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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled
antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as a 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). Timely written
notification of the return/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
We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 14, 2020.
