SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 20, 2017, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this administrative review.1 On January 

26, 2018, Commerce published 

Amended Preliminary Results.2 For the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results and Amended 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.3 These final 

results cover 33 companies.4 Commerce 

conducted this review in accordance 

with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Commerce exercised its discretion to 

toll all deadlines affected by the closure 

of the Federal Government from January 

20 through 22, 2018.5 As a result, the 

revised deadline for the final results of 

this review was April 23, 2018. On 

April 5, 2018, Commerce postponed the 

final results of this review until May 22, 

2018.6 On May 21, 2018, Commerce 

postponed the final results of this 

review until June 21, 2018.7

Memorandum and the electronic 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the Preliminary Results. 

Specifically, we have determined to 

base Motech Industries, Inc. (Motech)’s 

cost of production on the unadjusted 

cost of production in its books and 

records, and we have excluded sales to 

one U.S. customer from the margin 

calculation, due to the lack of 

substantial evidence on the record that 

the sales were made to customers in the 

United States. For a full discussion of 

these changes, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Amended Preliminary Results, 

Commerce preliminarily determined 

that 14 companies had no shipments 

during the POR.8 These companies are: 

Boviet Solar Technology Co., Ltd., 

Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic 

Technology Co., Ltd., Baoding Tianwei 

Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., 

Beijing Tianneng Yingli New Energy 

Resources Co., Ltd., E-TON Solar Tech. 

Co., Ltd., Hainan Yingli New Energy 

Resources Co., Ltd., Hengshui Yingli 

New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., 

Inventec Energy Corporation, Lixian 

Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd., 

Shenzhen Yingli New Energy Resources 

Co., Ltd., Sunengine Corporation Ltd., 

Tianjin Yingli New Energy Resources 

Co., Ltd., Yingli Energy (China) Co., 

Ltd., and Yingli Green Energy 

International Trading Company Limited. 

Following publication of the 

Amended Preliminary Results, 

Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry 

to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP), and received a response to this 

inquiry from CBP.9 We received one 

comment from interested parties 

regarding these companies, from 

Inventec Solar Energy Corporation and 

its affiliates, Inventec Energy 

Corporation and E–TON Solar Tech. 

Co., Ltd., which confirmed Commerce’s 

preliminary finding that Inventec Solar 

Energy Corporation had shipments, but 

that E–TON Solar Tech. Co., Ltd., and 

Inventec Energy Corporation did not 

have shipments. 

Because the record contains no 

evidence to the contrary, we continue to 

find that these 14 companies made no 

shipments during the POR. Accordingly, 

consistent with Commerce’s practice, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate any 

existing entries of merchandise 

produced by these 14 companies, but 

exported by other parties, at the rate for 

the intermediate reseller, if available, or 

at the all-others rate.10

Rate for Non-Examined Companies 

The statute 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 review 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 or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ In this review, 

we calculated a weighted-average 

dumping margin for Motech that is not 

zero, de minimis, or determined entirely 

on the basis of facts available, and have 

applied this rate to the non-examined 

companies. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following weighted-average dumping 

margins exist for the period February 1, 

2016 through January 31, 2017:

Weightedaverage 

margin

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results of review within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Duty Assessment 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

shall determine, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

review.11 Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this administrative review in 

the Federal Register. 

Commerce calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the 

total amount of dumping for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions, and Commerce will direct

CBP to assess importer- (or customer-) 

specific assessment rates based on the 

resulting per-unit rates.12 Where an 

importer- (or customer-) specific ad 

valorem or per-unit rate is greater than 

de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), 

Commerce will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.13 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.14

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual review, we will 

assign an assessment rate based on the 

methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for 

Non-Examined Companies’’ section, 

above. 

Consistent with Commerce’s 

assessment practice, for entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Motech, or the nonexamined companies, for which the 

producer did not know that its 

merchandise was destined for the 

United States, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.15

As noted in the ‘‘Final Determination 

of No Shipments’’ section, above, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

any existing entries of merchandise 

produced by the ‘‘no shipment’’ 

companies, but exported by other 

parties, at the rate for the intermediate 

reseller, if available, or at the all-others 

rate. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this administrative review, as provided 

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

The cash deposit rates for the 

companies listed in these final results 

will be equal to the weighted-average 

dumping margins established in the 

final results of this review; (2) for 

merchandise exported by producers or 

exporters not covered in this review but 

covered in a prior segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment in which the 

company was reviewed; (3) if the 

exporter is not a firm covered in this 

review or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the rate established for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding 

for the producer of the subject 

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit 

rate for all other producers or exporters 

will continue to be 19.50 percent,16 the 

all-others rate established in the LTFV 

investigation. These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

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 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 

Regarding Administrative Protective 

Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition of proprietary information 

disclosed under 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. 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice 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).
