Memorandum. A list of the issues raised is attached to this notice as 
an appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document 
and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's

Final Determination of No Shipments

    We preliminarily found that Danyang Hantronic Import & Export Co., 
Ltd., Danyang Tsunda Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Huachang Tools 
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Shanghai Starcraft Tools Company Limited, 
Weihai Xiangguang Mechanical Industrial Co., Ltd., and Wuhan Wanbang 
Laser Diamond Tools Co., Ltd., which have been eligible for separate 
rates in previous segments of the proceeding and are subject to this 
review, did not have any reviewable entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR.\4\ After the Preliminary Results, we received no 
comments or additional information with respect to these six companies. 
Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find that these six 
companies did not have any reviewable entries of subject merchandise 
during the POR. Consistent with our practice, we will issue appropriate 
instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on our 
final results.

Assessment

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\8\ For all respondents 
eligible for a separate rate, we will instruct CBP to apply an 
antidumping duty assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all entries of 
subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR.\9\ 
For all other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the antidumping 
duty assessment rate of the China-wide entity, 82.05 percent, to all 
entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.\10\ For the 
six companies that we determined had no reviewable entries of the 
subject merchandise in this review period, any suspended entries that 
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's 
rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate. We intend to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
the final results of review.

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shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject 
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate 
rates, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in these 
final results of review for each exporter as listed above; (2) for 
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters 
not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of 
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the 
exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the China-wide entity; (4) 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 shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice 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 POR. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement 
of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of 
doubled 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.
    These final results of review are issued and published in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: December 10, 2018.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
