29See Order, 84 FR at 48586. 30See Non-Market Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full discussion 

of this practice. 

to liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

The assessment rate for companies 

that are not eligible for a separate rate, 

which are therefore considered to be 

part of the China-wide entity, will be 

equal to the weighted-average dumping 

margin for the China-wide entity, i.e., 

144.50 percent.29

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise exported 

by an individually examined 

respondent were not reported in the 

U.S. sales data submitted by the 

respondent, but the merchandise was 

entered into the United States during 

the POR, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the antidumping duty 

assessment rate for the China-wide 

entity.30 Additionally, where Commerce 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR, any 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise that entered under that 

exporter’s CBP case number during the 

POR will be liquidated at the 

antidumping duty assessment rate for 

the China-wide entity. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be in effect for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on, or after, the date of 

publication of the notice of the final 

results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for an 

exporter granted a separate rate in the 

final results of this review, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review for the company (except, if the 

rate is de minimis, then a cash deposit 

rate of zero will be required); (2) for a 

previously investigated or reviewed 

exporter of subject merchandise not 

listed in the final results of review that 

has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter’s 

existing cash deposit rate; (3) for all 

China exporters of subject merchandise 

that do not have a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to the China-wide entity, 

which is 144.50 percent; and (4) for a 

non-China exporter of subject 

merchandise that does not have a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that non-China 

exporter. 

These cash 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) to file a certificate regarding 

the reimbursement of antidumping and/ 

or countervailing duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during the POR. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in 

Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping and/or 

countervailing duties occurred and the 

subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

preliminary results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 

777(i)(l) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 

and 351.221(b)(4). 

Dated: September 29, 2023.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
