Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), 

interested parties may submit case briefs 

no later than 30 days after the date of 

publication of this notice. Rebuttal

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance using Enforcement and 

Compliance’s ACCESS system.14

Assessment Rates 

Consistent with section 751(a)(2)(C) of 

the Act, upon issuance of the final 

results, Commerce shall determine, and 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, countervailing duties 

on all appropriate entries in accordance 

with the final results of this review. If 

the assessment rate calculated in the 

final results is zero or de minimis, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate all 

appropriate entries without regard to 

countervailing duties. For the company 

for which this review is rescinded (i.e., 

Hilton), Commerce will instruct CBP to 

assess countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated countervailing 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period January 

1, 2021, through December 31, 2021, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication 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 

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

Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP 

to collect cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties in the amounts 

shown for each of the companies listed 

above on shipments of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review, 

except where the rate calculated in the 

final results is zero or de minimis, no 

cash deposit will be required. For all 

non-reviewed firms, we will instruct 

CBP to continue to collect cash deposits 

of estimated countervailing duties at the 

most recent company-specific or allothers rate applicable to the company, 

as appropriate. These cash deposit 

instructions, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Final Results of Review 

Unless the deadline is extended 

pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 

Act, Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

including the results of our analysis of 

the issues raised by the parties in their 

comments, within 120 days after 

publication of these preliminary results. 

Notification to Interested Parties

Background 

On May 4, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results.1 On July 19, 

2023, we extended the deadline for 

these final results to October 31, 2023.2

For a complete description of the events 

that occurred subsequent to the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 4

The products covered by the Order 

are drawn stainless steel sinks from the 

People’s Republic of China (China).5

Imports of subject merchandise are 

currently classified under the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. While 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for

the case and rebuttal briefs in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

the issues that parties raised is provided 

in the appendix to this notice. The 

Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is on file 

electronically via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, we have made certain changes 

to the margin calculations for 

Dongyuan.6

Final Results of Review 

As a result of this review, we are 

assigning the following estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins for 

the period April 1, 2021, through March 

31, 2022: 

Producer or exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Guangdong Dongyuan Kitchenware Industrial Co., Ltd ........... 5.85 

Guangdong Yingao Kitchen 

Utensils Co., Ltd ..................... 76.45 

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in connection 

with these final results to interested 

parties within five days of the date 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), Commerce 

determined, 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 of this 

review. 

For Dongyuan, Commerce calculated 

importer- (or customer-) specific perunit duty assessment rates based on the 

ratio of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s (or 

customer’s) examined sales to the total 

sales quantity associated with those 

sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Where either Dongyuan’s 

weighted-average dumping margin is 

zero or de minimis, or an importerspecific rate is zero or de minimis 

within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice,7 for entries that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales data submitted 

by Dongyuan, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate of 76.45 percent.8 Furthermore, 

because we find that Shenzhen 

Kehuaxing and Yingao are part of the 

China-wide entity, we will also instruct 

CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment 

rate of 76.45 to all POR entries of subject 

merchandise that were produced and/or 

exported by either Shenzhen Kehuaxing 

or Yingao. 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication of these final results. 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 upon 

publication of the final results of 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on, or after, the 

publication date of the final results of 

review, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash 

deposit rate for Dongyuan will be equal 

to the dumping margin established in 

the final results of this review; (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 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

cash deposit rate established for the 

China-wide entity, i.e., 76.45 percent; 9

and (4) for all exporters of subject 

merchandise that are not located in 

China and that are not eligible for a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the China 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These 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

prices below normal value (NV) during 

the period of review (POR) October 1, 

2021, through September 30, 2022. In 

addition, we are rescinding this review 

for one company. We invite interested

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 9, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on flanges from 

India.1 On December 5, 2022, based on 

timely requests for review, Commerce 

initiated an administrative review of the 

Order covering 15 companies, in 

accordance with section 751(a) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act).2 On June 6, 2023, we extended the 

deadline for the preliminary results of 

this administrative review until October 

31, 2023.3 For a complete description of 

the events that followed the initiation of 

this review, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum.4

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is stainless steel flanges from 

India. For a full description of the scope 

of the Order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Partial Rescission of Administrative 

Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if a party who requested the review 

withdraws the request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation. On March 2, 2023, we 

received a timely withdrawal request 

from R.N. Gupta & Company Limited.5

Because no other party requested a 

review of this company, Commerce is 

rescinding this review with respect to 

R.N. Gupta & Company Limited, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with sections 751(a) of 

the Act. We calculated export price and 

constructed export price in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. We 

calculated NV in accordance with 

section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying these 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. A list of topics 

included in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as Appendix
