Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final 
Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2016

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 5, 2017, the Department of Commerce (the Department) 
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the 
antidumping duty order on drawn stainless steel sinks (drawn sinks) 
from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The period of review (POR) 
is April 1, 2015, through March 31, 2016. No interested party submitted 
comments on the preliminary results. Therefore, for the final results, 
we continue to find that Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co., 
Ltd. (Dongyuan) and Guangdong Yingao Kitchen Utensils Co. Ltd. (Yingao) 
made sales at of subject merchandise at prices below normal value (NV) 
during the period of review (POR). We also continue to grant separate 
rates to ten companies which demonstrated eligibility for separate rate 
status but were not selected for individual examination. Finally, we 
continue to find that New Shichu Import and Export Company Limited (New 
Shichu) made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.

DATES: Effective June 23, 2017.

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order include drawn stainless steel 
sinks. Imports of subject merchandise are currently classified under 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS subheadings are

Final Results of Review and Final Determination of No Shipments

    As noted above, we received no comments from interested parties on 
the Preliminary Results. Therefore, we have not modified our analysis 
from that presented in the Preliminary Results, and no decision 
memorandum accompanies this Federal Register notice. As a result, we 
continue to find that Dongyuan and Yingao made sales of subject 
merchandise at less than NV during the POR. In addition, we continue to 
find that the following ten companies which were not selected for 
individual examination are eligible for a separate rate: Feidong Import 
and Export Co., Ltd.; Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd.; Xinhe 
Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd.; KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, 
Inc.; Jiangmen Hongmao Trading Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech 
Enterprise Ltd.; Foshan Zhaoshun Trade Co., Ltd; Zhuhai KOHLER Kitchen 
& Bathroom Products Co., Ltd.; B&R Industries Limited; and Zhongshan 
Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd. Finally, we continue to find that New 
Shichu made no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.
    For further discussion of the issues addressed in this proceeding, 
see the Preliminary Results and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum. We are assigning the following weighted-average dumping 
margins to the respondents for the period April 1, 2015, through March 
31, 2016:

* This company demonstrated that it qualified for a separate rate in
  this administrative review. We assigned this company a rate which is
  the average of the weighted-average dumping margins assigned to
  Dongyuan and Yingao. See the Preliminary Results and the accompanying
  Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject 
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. The 
Department intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this 
administrative review.
    For Dongyuan and Yingao, which have above weighted-average dumping 
margins above zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we 
calculated 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). Where either the respondents' weighted-average dumping 
margin is zero or de minimis, or 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.
    For the respondents which were not selected for individual 
examination in this administrative review and which qualified for a 
separate rate, the assessment rate is equal to the average of the 
weighted-average dumping margins assigned to Dongyuan and Yingao, or 
1.78 percent.
    The Department has refined its assessment practice in NME cases. 
Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that were not 
reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by Dongyuan or Yingao, 
the Department will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-
wide rate. In addition, because the Department determined that New 
Shichu had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any suspended 
entries of subject merchandise from New Shichu will be liquidated at 
the PRC-wide rate.\3\

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (NME Antidumping Proceedings).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as 
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies 
listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be 
that rate established in the final results of this review (except, if 
the rate is zero or de minimis, then a cash deposit rate of zero will 
be established for that company); (2) for previously investigated or 
reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters that received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the PRC-wide 
entity, which is 76.45 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter(s) that 
supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when 
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as the only 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.

Notification Regarding 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). 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 this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: June 19, 2017.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations.
