Certain Hardwood Plywood From the 

People’s Republic of China: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review and 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments; 2019 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that 24 exporters of certain hardwood 

plywood products (hardwood plywood) 

from the People’s Republic of China 

(China) under review had no shipments 

of subject merchandise during the 

period of review (POR) January 1, 2019 

through December 31, 2019. Commerce 

also preliminarily determines that the 

34 remaining companies subject to this 

review, including Lianyungang Yuantai 

International Trade Co., Ltd. (Yuantai), 

are part of the China-wide entity 

because they did not demonstrate 

eligibility for separate rates. 

DATES: Applicable January 21, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 10, 2020, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register a 

notice of initiation of an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty (AD) 

order 1 on hardwood plywood from 

China with respect to 58 producers/ 

exporters.2 Subsequently, we released 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) data to interested parties for 

comment.3 We received comments from 

the petitioner 4 but no other interested 

party commented on the CBP data. 

In April 2020, we received timely noshipment certifications from 24 

companies,5 and we also received a 

separate rate certification (SRC) from 

Yuantai.6 We did not receive a noshipment statement, separate rate 

application (SRA), or SRC from any 

other company subject to this review. 

Also, in April 2020, Commerce 

exercised its discretion to toll 

administrative review deadlines by 50 

days.7 As a result, all deadlines in this 

proceeding were extended by 50 days. 

In April and May 2020, we requested 

additional information from Yuantai 

related to its SRC,8 and although 

Yuantai timely provided some 

information,9 it later informed 

Commerce that it was unable to respond 

further because the company had ceased 

operations.10

In July 2020, Commerce exercised its 

discretion to toll administrative review 

deadlines by an additional 60 days.11

The revised deadline for the preliminary 

results of this review is now January 21, 

2021.12

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.13

A list of topics included in the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is 

included as Appendix III to this notice. 

The Preliminary Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/. The signed and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this order is 

hardwood plywood from China. A full 

description of the scope of the order is 

contained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.14

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.213.

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

Based upon the no-shipment 

certifications received by Commerce, 

and our review of CBP data, we 

preliminarily find that 24 companies 

had no shipments during the POR. For 

additional information regarding this 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. Consistent with 

our assessment practice in non-market 

economy administrative reviews,15

Commerce is not rescinding this review 

for these 24 companies.16 Commerce 

intends to complete the review and 

issue appropriate instructions to CBP 

based on the final results of this review. 

Separate Rates 

Commerce preliminarily finds that 

Yuantai has not established its 

eligibility for a separate rate. 

Additionally, because 33 other 

companies under review did not submit 

a no-shipment certification, SRA, or 

SRC, Commerce preliminarily 

determines that these companies have 

not demonstrated their eligibility for 

separate rates.17 For additional 

information, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.18 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

China-wide entity.19 Because no party 

requested a review of the China-wide 

entity in this review, the China-wide 

entity is not under review and the 

China-wide entity’s rate (i.e., 183.36 

percent) is not subject to change.20 For 

additional information, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Public Comment 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.309(c), case briefs or other written 

comments may be submitted to the 

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance no later than 30 days after 

the date of publication of these 

preliminary results, unless the Secretary 

alters the time limit. Rebuttal briefs, 

limited to issues raised in case briefs, 

may be submitted no later than seven 

days after the deadline date for case 

briefs.21 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who 

submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in 

this review are encouraged to submit 

with each argument: (1) A statement of 

the issue; (2) a brief summary of the 

argument; and (3) a table of authorities. 

Note that Commerce has temporarily 

modified certain of its requirements for 

serving documents containing business 

proprietary information, until further 

notice.22

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, within 30 days after the date 

of publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain: (1) The party’s name, 

address and telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants; and (3) a list of 

issues to be discussed. Oral 

presentations at the hearing will be 

limited to those issues raised in the 

briefs. If a request for a hearing is made, 

Commerce intends to hold the hearing 

at a date and time to be determined.23

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and CBP shall assess, AD duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by this review.24

We have not calculated any assessment 

rates in this administrative review. 

Based on record evidence, we have 

determined that 24 companies had no 

shipments of subject merchandise and, 

therefore, pursuant to Commerce’s 

assessment practice, any suspended 

entries that entered under their case 

numbers, where available, will be 

liquidated at the China-wide entity 

rate.25 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., 183.36 percent). Commerce intends 

to issue assessment instructions to CBP 

15 days after the publication date of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register.26

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for shipments of 

the subject merchandise from China 

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) 

The cash deposit rates for the 24 

companies that had no shipments 

during the POR will remain unchanged 

from the rates assigned to them in the 

most recently completed segment for 

each company; (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for 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 (i.e., 183.36 percent); 

and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of 

subject merchandise that have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese 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 to Interested Parties 

These preliminary results of 

administrative review are issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Administrative Review and Final 

Determination of No Shipments; 2018–

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

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. 

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

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.;
