and 6307.90.9889. The HTSUS statistical categories and subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes; however, the written 
description of the merchandise covered by this order is dispositive.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Banduoo, 
Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments of the 
subject merchandise during the POR.\2\ As we have not received any 
information to contradict our preliminary finding, we continue to find 
that Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He did not have 
any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR and intend to issue 
appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
based on the final results of this review.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Preliminary Results.
    \3\ See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand; 
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 
Partial Rescission of Review, Preliminary Determination of No 
Shipments; 2012-2013, 79 FR 15951, 15952 (March 24, 2014), unchanged 
in Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Final Determination of No 
Shipments, and Partial Rescission of Review; 2012-2013, 79 FR at 
51306 (August 28, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Commerce determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\4\ The final results of 
this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties 
on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this 
review.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
    \5\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Further, because we continue to find in these final results that 
Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He had no shipments 
of subject merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate any suspended entries that entered under their antidumping 
duty case numbers (i.e., at that exporter's rate) at the all-others 
rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in 
the transaction. We intend to issue liquidation instructions for 
Banduoo, Fujian Rongshu, Roung Shu, and Xiamen Yi-He to CBP 15 days 
after publication of the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For merchandise 
exported by manufacturers or exporters not covered in this review but 
covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the company-specific rate published from the most 
recently completed segment; (2) if the exporter is not a firm covered 
in this review, or the original investigation, but the manufacturer is, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most 
recently completed segment for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and 
(3) the cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 4.37 percent, the all-others rate determined in the 
less-than-fair-value investigation.\6\ These cash deposit requirements, 
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

FR 56982, 56985 (September 17, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 POR. 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 Order

    This notice serves as a 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 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 sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: September 24, 2019.
