administrative review of the order, Commerce 

collapsed TMM and TMI, and treated the 

companies as a single entity for purposes of the 

proceeding. Because there were no changes to the 

facts which supported that decision since that 

determination was made, we continue to find that 

these companies are part of a single entity for this 

administrative review. See Pure Magnesium from

Pure Magnesium From the People’s 

Republic of China: Preliminary Results 

of Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review; 2018–2019 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) is conducting the 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on pure 

magnesium from the People’s Republic 

of China (China), covering the period 

May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019. 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that Tianjin Magnesium International, 

Co., Ltd. and Tianjin Magnesium Metal, 

Co., Ltd. (collectively TMI/TMM) did 

not have reviewable entries during the 

period of review (POR). We invite 

interested parties to comment on these 

preliminary results. 

DATES: Applicable February 4, 2021.

Background 

On May 1, 2019, Commerce published 

a notice of opportunity to request an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on pure 

magnesium from China for the POR.1

On July 15, 2019, in response to a timely 

request from the petitioner,2 and in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), we initiated 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on pure 

magnesium from China with respect to 

TMI/TMM.3

Scope of the Order 

The product covered by this 

antidumping duty order is pure 

magnesium from China, regardless of 

chemistry, form or size, unless expressly 

excluded from the scope of the order. 

Pure magnesium is a metal or alloy 

containing by weight primarily the 

element magnesium and produced by 

decomposing raw materials into 

magnesium metal. Pure primary 

magnesium is used primarily as a 

chemical in the aluminum alloying, 

desulfurization, and chemical reduction 

industries. In addition, pure magnesium 

is used as an input in producing 

magnesium alloy. Pure magnesium 

encompasses products (including, but 

not limited to, butt ends, stubs, crowns 

and crystals) with the following primary 

magnesium contents: 

(1) Products that contain at least 

99.95% primary magnesium, by weight 

(generally referred to as ‘‘ultra pure’’ 

magnesium) Magnesium Alloy’’ 4 and 

are thus outside the scope of the 

existing antidumping orders on 

magnesium from China (generally 

referred to as ‘‘alloy’’ magnesium). 

(2) Products that contain less than 

99.95%, but not less than 99.8%, 

primary magnesium, by weight 

(generally referred to as ‘‘pure’’ 

magnesium); and 

(3) Products that contain 50% or 

greater, but less than 99.8% primary 

magnesium, by weight, and that do not 

conform to ASTM specifications for 

alloy magnesium (generally referred to 

as ‘‘off–specification pure’’ magnesium). 

‘‘Off–specification pure’’ magnesium 

is pure primary magnesium containing 

magnesium scrap, secondary 

magnesium, oxidized magnesium or 

impurities (whether or not intentionally 

added) that cause the primary 

magnesium content to fall below 99.8% 

by weight. It generally does not contain, 

individually or in combination, 1.5% or 

more, by weight, of the following 

alloying elements: Aluminum, 

manganese, zinc, silicon, thorium, 

zirconium and rare earths. 

Excluded from the scope of the order 

are alloy primary magnesium (that 

meets specifications for alloy 

magnesium), primary magnesium 

anodes, granular primary magnesium 

(including turnings, chips and powder) 

having a maximum physical dimension 

(i.e., length or diameter) of one inch or 

less, secondary magnesium (which has 

pure primary magnesium content of less 

than 50% by weight), and remelted 

magnesium whose pure primary 

magnesium content is less than 50% by 

weight. 

Pure magnesium products covered by 

the order are currently classifiable 

under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

8104.11.00, 8104.19.00, 8104.20.00, 

8104.30.00, 8104.90.00, 3824.90.11, 

3824.90.19 and 9817.00.90. Although 

the HTSUS subheadings are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, 

the written description of the scope is 

dispositive. 

Preliminary Determination of No 

Shipments 

We received timely submissions from 

TMI/TMM certifying that they did not 

have sales, shipments, or exports of 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR.5 On December 

20, 2019, we requested the U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) data file of 

entries of subject merchandise imported 

into the United States during the POR, 

and exported by TMI/TMM. This query

returned no entries during the POR.6

Additionally, we sent an inquiry to CBP 

requesting that any CBP officer alert 

Commerce if he/she had information 

contrary to TMI/TMM’s no-shipments 

claims.7

Based on the available record 

information, and consistent with our 

practice, we preliminarily determine 

that TMI/TMM had no shipments and, 

therefore, no reviewable entries during 

the POR. In addition, we find it is not 

appropriate to rescind the review with 

respect to these companies but, rather, 

to complete the review with respect to 

TMI/TMM and issue appropriate 

instructions to CBP based on the final 

results of the review, consistent with 

our practice in non-market economy 

(NME) cases.8

Unless extended, we intend to issue 

the final results of this administrative 

review, including our analysis of all 

issues raised in any written brief, within 

120 days of publication of this notice in 

the Federal Register, pursuant to 

section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.13 We intend to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this review. Pursuant to Commerce’s 

practice in NME cases, if we continue to 

determine in the final results that TMI/ 

TMM had no shipments of subject 

merchandise, any suspended entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

from TMI/TMM will be liquidated at the 

China-wide rate.14

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, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For TMI/ 

TMM, which claimed no shipments, the 

cash deposit rate will remain unchanged 

from the rate assigned to TMI/TMM in 

the most recently completed review of 

the company; (2) for previously 

investigated or reviewed Chinese and 

non-Chinese exporters who are not 

under review in this segment of the 

proceeding but who have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (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 China-wide rate 

of 111.73 percent; and (4) for all nonChinese 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 nonChinese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 

period. Failure to comply with this 

requirement may result in the 

Secretary’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

This notice is issued in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
