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\

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

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

    As a result of this new shipper review, Commerce determines that

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merchandise, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, on or after May 16, 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.
