SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On May 4, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this 

administrative review and invited 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Results.1 This administrative review 

covers 114 companies.2 Commerce 

selected Kanika Exports (Kanika) and R 

K Fasteners (India) (RKF) as the two 

respondents for individual 

examination.3 On August 17, 2023, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results of this review until October 

31, 2023.4 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the Preliminary 

Results, see the Issues and Decision

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that were submitted by 

interested parties in this review are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues is 

attached to this notice at Appendix I. 

The Issues and Decision Memorandum 

is a public document and is made 

available to the public via Enforcement 

and Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

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

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is available at 

https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations for 

Kanika in these final results. We did not 

make any change to RKF’s margin 

calculations. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the ‘‘Discussion of the 

Issues’’ section of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

rate to be applied to companies not 

selected for examination when 

Commerce limits its examination in an 

administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, 

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Act, which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in a 

market economy investigation, for 

guidance when calculating the rate for 

companies which were not selected for 

individual examination in an 

administrative review. Under section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others 

rate is normally ‘‘an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

Where the dumping margin for 

individually examined respondents are 

all zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act provides that Commerce may 

use ‘‘any reasonable method to establish 

the estimated all-others rate for 

exporters and producers not 

individually investigated, including 

averaging the estimated weighted 

average dumping margins determined 

for the exporters and producers 

individually investigated.’’ 

In this review, we have calculated a 

weighted-average dumping margins of 

2.37 percent for RKF and zero percent 

for Kanika. Therefore, in accordance 

with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we 

are applying RKF’s weighted average 

dumping margin of 2.37 percent to the 

non-examined companies (see 

Appendix II for a full list of these 

companies), because this is the only rate 

that is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available. 

Final Results of the Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist during the 

period April 1, 2021, through March 31, 

2022: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed for these final results of 

review within five days of publication 

of this notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), 

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results this review.9

For RKF, we calculated importerspecific assessment rates based on the 

ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total entered value of those 

same sales in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific assessment rate is either zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), 

the entries by that importer will be 

liquidated without regard to 

antidumping duties. Because the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Kanika has been determined to be zero 

percent, we intend to instruct CBP to 

liquidate Kanika’s entries without 

regard to antidumping duties in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). 

In accordance with Commerce’s 

‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Kanika or RKF for 

which these companies did not know 

that the merchandise was destined for 

the United States, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate those entries at the allothers rate established in the original 

less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation 

of 0.00 percent,10 if there is no rate for 

the intermediate company(ies) involved 

in the transaction.11

For the companies that were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate entries at 

the rate established in these final results 

of review. 

We intend to issue instructions to 

CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

publication date 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 for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of these final results of 

review in the Federal Register, as 

provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the 

companies listed in these final results 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative review; (2) 

for merchandise exported by producers 

or exporters not covered in this review 

but covered in a prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recentlycompleted segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review, a prior review, or the original 

investigation but the producer is, then

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the merchandise; (4) 

the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 0.00 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the LTFV investigation, 

adjusted for the export-subsidy rate in 

the companion countervailing duty 

investigation.12 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, 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 the 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 Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under the 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 materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is being issued and 

published 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).
