Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018-2019

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that the two 
mandatory respondents, Guangdong New Shichu Import and Export Company 
Limited (New Shichu) and KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc. 
(KaiPing), have not established their eligibility for a separate rate 
and are part of the China-wide entity. We also continue to assign the 
China-wide rate to an additional nine companies, because we determine 
that they are not eligible for a separate rate. Finally, we continue to 
grant a separate rate to Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd. (New 
Star), which demonstrated eligibility for separate rate status but was 
not selected for individual examination. The period of review (POR) is 
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.

DATES: Applicable February 27, 2020.

published the Preliminary Results.\1\ Although we invited parties to 
comment on the Preliminary Results,\2\ no interested party submitted 
comments. Accordingly, no decision memorandum accompanies this Federal 
Register notice. Commerce conducted this administrative review in 
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act).

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order include drawn stainless steel 
sinks. Imports of subject merchandise are currently classified under 
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS subheadings are 
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description 
of the scope of the order is dispositive.\3\

the Preliminary Results PDM at 3-4.

Final Results of Review and Final Determination of No Shipments

    We made no changes from the Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a 
result of this review, we determine that the two mandatory respondents, 
New Shichu and KaiPing, have not established their eligibility for a 
separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity. We also determine 
that, because the following companies did not submit separate rate 
applications or certifications, they are ineligible for a separate rate 
and are part of the China-wide entity: B&R Industries Limited (B&R); 
Feidong Import and Export Co. Ltd. (Feidong); Guangdong G-Top Import & 
Export Co., Ltd. (G-Top); Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co., Ltd. 
(Pioneer); Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Afa); Xinhe 
Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd. (Xinhe); Yuyao Afa Kitchenware Co., 
Ltd. (Yuyao Afa); and Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd. 
(Superte). We also determine that, because Zhuhai Kohler Kitchen & 
Bathroom Products Co. Ltd. (Kohler) failed to respond to Commerce's 
supplemental separate rate questionnaire, this company is ineligible 
for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity. Finally, we 
continue to grant a separate rate to New Star, which demonstrated 
eligibility for separate rate status, but was not selected for 
individual examination.\4\ We determine that the dumping margin for New 
Star for the period April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ We assigned New Star the most recently assigned separate 
rate in this proceeding (i.e., 1.78 percent). See Drawn Stainless 
Steel Sinks from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 84 FR 38211

Assessment Rates

    Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in 
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b). 
Because we determined that the following companies were not eligible 
for a separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity, we will 
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 76.45 percent to 
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR that were produced 
and/or exported by: B&R Feidong; G-Top; KaiPing; Kohler; New Shichu; 
Ningbo Afa; Pioneer; Superte; Xinhe; and Yuyao Afa. We will instruct 
CBP to apply an assessment rate to all entries of merchandise produced 
and/or exported by New Star equal to the dumping margin indicated 
above. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the date of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results 
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of 
the Act: (1) For the company listed above that has a separate rate, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in these final results 
of review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash 
deposit rate will continue to be equal to the exporter-specific 
weighted-average dumping margin published of the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese 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 China-wide 
entity, 76.45 percent; and (4) for all exporters of subject merchandise 
which are not located in China and which are not eligible for a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to 
Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a 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 double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also 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 return/destruction of APO materials or conversion to 
judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with 
the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 
351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 20, 2020.
