Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks From the People's Republic of 
China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 
Final Determination of No Shipments; 2018-2019

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to determine 
that Fedmet Resources Corporation (Fedmet) had no shipments of certain 
magnesia carbon bricks (magnesia carbon bricks) from the People's 
Republic of China (China) to the United States during the period of 
review (POR) September 1, 2018 through August 31, 2019. We also 
continue to find that the 16 remaining companies subject to this review 
are part of the China-wide entity because they did not file no shipment 
statements, separate rate applications (SRAs), or separate rate 
certifications (SRCs).

DATES: Applicable January 21, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 28, 2020, Commerce published the preliminary results of 
this administrative review.\1\ We invited parties to comment on the 
Preliminary Results. No party submitted comments. Accordingly, the 
final results remain unchanged from the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks From the People's 
Republic of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 
2018-2019, 85 FR 45375 (July 28, 2020) (Preliminary Results), and 
accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The scope of the order covers magnesia carbon bricks from China. 
For a complete description of the scope of the order, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    Commerce preliminarily found that Fedmet had no shipments of 
subject merchandise to the United States during the POR. As noted in 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum, we received a no shipment statement 
from Fedmet, and the statement was consistent with the information we 
received from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    No party commented on our preliminary no-shipment finding with 
respect to Fedmet. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to 
find that Fedmet had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United 
States during the POR.

China-Wide Entity

    With the exception of Fedmet, we find all other companies for which 
a review was requested to be part of the China-wide entity because they 
failed to file no-shipment statements, SRAs, or SRCs. Accordingly, the 
following companies are part of the China-wide entity: (1) Dandong 
Xinxing Carbon Co., Ltd.; (2) Fengchi Imp. and Exp. Co.; (3) Fengchi 
Imp. and Exp. Co., Ltd. of Haicheng City; (4) Fengchi Mining Co., Ltd. 
of Haicheng City; (5) Fengchi Refractories Co., of Haicheng City; (6) 
Haicheng Donghe Taidi Refractory Co., Ltd.; (7) Henan Xintuo Refractory 
Co., Ltd.; (8) Liaoning Fucheng Refractories; (9) Liaoning Zhongmei 
High Temperature Material Co., Ltd.; (10) Liaoning Zhongmei Holding 
Co., Ltd.;

(11) RHI Refractories Liaoning Co., Ltd.; (12) Shenglong Refractories 
Co., Ltd.; (13) Tangshan Strong Refractories Co., Ltd.; (14) The 
Economic Trading Group of Haicheng Houying Corp. Ltd.; (15) Yingkou 
Heping Samwha Minerals, Co., Ltd.; and (16) Yingkou Heping Sanhua 
Materials Co., Ltd.
    Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and 
Commerce no longer considers the China-wide entity as an exporter 
conditionally subject to administrative reviews, we did not conduct a 
review of the China-wide entity. The rate previously established for 
the China-wide entity is 236.00 percent and is not subject to change as 
a result of this review.

Assessment Rates

    We have not calculated any assessment rates in this administrative 
review. Based on record evidence, we have determined that Fedmet had no 
shipments of subject merchandise, and therefore, pursuant to Commerce's 
assessment practice, any suspended entries that entered under its case 
number will be liquidated at the China-wide entity rate.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For all remaining companies subject to this review, which are part 
of the China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP to liquidate their 
entries at the current rate for the China-wide entity (i.e., 236.00 
percent). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions 
to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this 
administrative review.

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 of this 
notice, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act): (1) For previously investigated or reviewed 
Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, and which were not assigned the 
China-wide rate in this review, the cash deposit rate will continue to 
be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recently 
completed period; (2) 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 China-wide rate of 236.00 percent; and (3) for 
all non-Chinese 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-Chinese 
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

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 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.

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.

Notification to Interested Parties

    These final results are issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

    Dated: January 12, 2021.
