companies listed in the Appendix.\4\ On June 6, 2018, in accordance
with section 751(a) the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated
an administrative review of the order on SSSS from China with respect
to the requested companies.\5\ On June 20, 2018, the petitioners timely

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, ``in whole or in part, if a party that requested
the review withdraws the request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review.'' The
petitioners and C.Y. Housewares both withdrew their requests within the
90-day time limit. Because we received no other requests for review of
the order on SSSS from China, we are rescinding the administrative
review of the order in full, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess antidumping on all appropriate entries of SSSS from China during
the POR at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from
warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i).
Commerce intends to issue appropriate instructions to CBP 15 days after
publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
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 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 doubled antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to the
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
an APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 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.
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19
CFR 351.213(d)(4).
Dated: July 31, 2018.
