SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 2, 2019, we published the preliminary results of the new
shipper review of the antidumping duty order on freshwater crawfish
tail meat from the People's Republic of China (China) covering the
POR.\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on the
Preliminary Results. We did not receive comments from interested
parties. Hence, the final results are unchanged from the Preliminary
Results. Commerce conducted these reviews in accordance with section
751(a)(1) and (2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
The deadline for the final results of this new shipper review is June
24, 2019.\2\

Scope of the Order
The product covered by the antidumping duty order is freshwater
crawfish tail meat, in all its forms (whether washed or with fat on,
whether purged or un-purged), grades, and sizes; whether frozen, fresh,
or
[[Page 28269]]
chilled; and regardless of how it is packed, preserved, or prepared.
Excluded from the scope of the order are live crawfish and other whole
crawfish, whether boiled, frozen, fresh, or chilled. Also excluded are
saltwater crawfish of any type, and parts thereof. Freshwater crawfish
tail meat is currently classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) under item numbers 1605.40.10.10 and
1605.40.10.90, which are the HTSUS numbers for prepared foodstuffs,
indicating peeled crawfish tail meat and other, as introduced by U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in 2000, and HTSUS numbers
0306.19.00.10 and 0306.29.00.00, which are reserved for fish and
crustaceans in general. On February 10, 2012, Commerce added HTSUS
classification number 0306.29.01.00 to the scope description pursuant
to a request by CBP. On September 21, 2018, Commerce added HTSUS
classification numbers 0306.39.0000 and 0306.99.0000 to the scope
description pursuant to a request by CBP. The HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes only. The written
description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Results.

Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
and the Final Modification for Reviews,\3\ Commerce intends to instruct
CBP to liquidate all appropriate entries for Nanjing Yinxiangchen
without regard to antidumping duties. For entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Nanjing Yinxiangchen
examined during this review, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate. We intend to issue
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of
the final results of this new shipper review.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
On June 7, 2019, as a result of the five-year (sunset) review,
Commerce revoked the antidumping duty order on imports of freshwater
crawfish tail meat from the People's Republic of China.\4\ In the
Revocation Notice, Commerce stated that it intends to issue
instructions to CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
discontinue the collection of cash deposits on entries of subject
merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after May 16,
2019.\5\ Furthermore, because the antidumping duty order on freshwater
crawfish tail meat from China has been revoked as a result of the
Revocation Notice, Commerce will not issue cash deposit instructions at
the conclusion of this administrative review.

Notification to Importers
This notice 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 the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under 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 subject
to sanction.
The final results of this new shipper review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(2)(B) and 777(i)(1) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.214.
Dated: June 12, 2019.
