Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2021-2022
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) continues to
determine that Bomei Tex Ltd. (Bomei) and Saffron Living Co., Ltd.
(Saffron Living), the two companies subject to this administrative
review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on uncovered innerspring
units (innersprings) from the People's Republic of China (China), are
part of the China-wide entity. The period of review (POR) is February
1, 2021, through January 31, 2022.
DATES: Applicable February 6, 2023.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher Maciuba, AD/CVD
Operations, Office V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue
NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482-0413.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Commerce published the preliminary results of this administrative
review on October 25, 2022.\1\ We invited interested parties to comment
on the Preliminary Results. No party submitted comments. Accordingly,
the final results are unchanged from the Preliminary Results. Commerce
conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751 of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

Results).

of China: Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 7661 (February 19,

The merchandise subject to the Order is uncovered innerspring
units. For a full description of the scope of the Order, see
Preliminary Results.\3\

Final Results of Administrative Review
We received no comments on, and made no changes to, the Preliminary
Results. We continue to find that neither Bomei nor Saffron Living
filed a no-shipment certification, a separate rate application, or a
separate rate certification. Thus, Commerce continues to determine that
these companies have not demonstrated their eligibility for separate
rate status and, therefore, we determine that these companies are part
of the China-wide entity.
Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and
we did not self-initiate a review, the China-wide entity rate (i.e.,
234.51 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries
covered by this review in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act. For Bomei and Saffron Living, we will instruct CBP to apply the
China-wide rate of 234.51 percent to all entries of subject merchandise
during the POR. Commerce intends to issue assessment 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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters who are not under review in this segment of the
proceeding but have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue
to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period;
(2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been
found to be entitled to a separate rate (including Bomei and Saffron
Living), the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 234.51
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 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 also 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 POR. 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 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), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or
destruction of APO, or conversion to judicial protective order, is
hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of
an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act,
and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 30, 2023.
