Uncovered Innerspring Units From the People's Republic of China: 
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).

    \1\ See Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People's Republic 
of China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2021-2022, 87 FR 64435 (October 25, 2022) (Preliminary 
Results).

Scope of the Order \2\

    \2\ See Uncovered Innerspring Units from the People's Republic 
of China: Notice of Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 7661 (February 19, 
2009) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    \3\ See Preliminary Results, 87 FR at 64435-36.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Order, 74 FR at 7662.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
