SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On January 28, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and 
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from 
interested parties on the Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act 
of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2019-2020, 86 
FR 7363 (January 28, 2021) (Preliminary Results), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, see 
the Preliminary Results PDM at 4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    Because we received no comments, we made no changes from the 
Preliminary Results. Therefore, we continue to find that the two 
mandatory respondents, Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd. (New 
Star) and Zhuhai Kohler Kitchen & Bathroom Products Co., Ltd. (Kohler), 
have not established their eligibility for a separate rate and are part 
of the China-wide entity. We also continue to find for these final 
results 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: Guangdong G-Top Import & 
Export Co., Ltd. (G-Top); Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co., Ltd. 
(Pioneer); and Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd. (Superte). 
Finally, we continue to grant a separate rate to KaiPing Dawn Plumbing 
Products Inc. (KaiPing Dawn), which demonstrated eligibility for 
separate rate status but was not selected for individual 
examination.\3\ We determine that the dumping margin for KaiPing Dawn 
for the period April 1, 2019, through March 31, 2020 is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ We assigned KaiPing Dawn 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; 2018-2019, 85 FR 11341 
(February 27, 2020).

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: New Star; Kohler; G-Top; Pioneer; and Superte. We 
will instruct CBP to apply an assessment rate to all entries of 
merchandise produced and/or exported by KaiPing Dawn equal to the 
dumping margin indicated above.
    Consistent with its recent notice,\4\ Commerce intends to issue 
assessment

[[Page 18512]]

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of 
publication of the final results of this review in the Federal 
Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of 
International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to 
liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request 
for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of 
publication).

Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duly Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January 
15, 2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 the 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: April 5, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
