Background

    On March 6, 2019, Commerce published its Preliminary Results of the 
review of the antidumping duty order on solar products from China for 
Sol-lite Manufacturing Company Limited (Sol-lite), Ri Shen Products 
(SZ) (Ri Shen), and Shenzhen Sungold Solar Co., Ltd. (Sungold) covering 
the period February 1, 2017, through January 31, 2018 (the period of 
review (POR)).\1\ No parties commented on the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products from 
the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping 
Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 84 FR 8081 (March 6, 2019) 
(Preliminary Results) and accompanying Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The product covered by the Order is certain crystalline silicon 
photovoltaic products. Commerce preliminarily revised the scope to 
include the harmonized tariff schedule numbers under which subject 
merchandise is entered.\2\ No parties commented on this revision. 
Hence, we have adopted this revision in these final results. Under this 
revision, imports of subject merchandise are classified under the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings: 
8501.61.0000, 8507.20.8030, 8507.20.8040, 8507.20.8060, 8507.20.8090, 
8541.40.60.15, 8541.40.6020, 8541.40.6030, 8541.40.60.35. Although the 
HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, 
the written product description in the Order remains dispositive.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Preliminary Results, 84 FR at 8081 and the PDM at 3, 
n.15 (discussing the revisions to the HTSUS numbers in the scope).
    \3\ See PDM for a complete description of the scope of the 
Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis

    As noted above, no parties commented on the Preliminary Results. 
Therefore, we are adopting the decisions in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum for these final results of review. In the Preliminary 
Results, Commerce: (1) Determined that all three companies under 
review--Sol-lite, Ri Shen, and Sungold--did not establish their 
eligibility for a separate rate and are part of the China-wide 
entity.\4\ For these final results of review, we have continued to 
treat Sol-lite, Ri Shen, and Sungold as part of the China-wide entity. 
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, we are 
not conducting a review of the China-wide entity.\5\ Thus, there is no 
change to the rate for the China-wide entity. The existing rate for the 
China-wide entity is 151.98 percent.

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 
(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has 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. Commerce intends to issue assessment 
instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final 
results of this review. Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate 
any entries of subject merchandise exported during this POR by Sol-
lite, Ri Shen, and Sungold at the China-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this administrative review for 
shipments of subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date in the 
Federal Register of the final results of this review, as provided by 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously investigated or 
reviewed China and non-China exporters which are not under review in 
this segment of the proceeding but which received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (2) for all China 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 China-
wide entity, which is 151.98 percent; and (3) for all non-China 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese 
exporter that supplied that non-China exporter.
    These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. 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 violation that is subject to sanction.
    This notice of the final results of this antidumping duty 
administrative review is issued and published in accordance

[[Page 27766]]

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 
CFR 351.221(b)(5).
