SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the 

antidumping duty order on fresh garlic 

from China in the Federal Register on 

November 16, 1994.1 On May 23, 2018, 

Commerce received a timely request for 

a NSR from Infang.2 Infang certified that 

it is the exporter of the fresh garlic upon 

which the request for a NSR is based. 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), 

Infang certified that it did not export 

fresh garlic for sale to the United States 

during the period of investigation 

(POI).3 Moreover, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Infang certified 

that, since the investigation was 

initiated, it never has been affiliated 

with any exporter or producer who 

exported the subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POI, including 

those not individually examined during 

the investigation.4 Further, as required 

by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), it 

certified that its export activities are not 

controlled by the central government of 

China.5 Infang also certified it had no 

subsequent shipments of subject 

merchandise.6

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Infang submitted 

documentation establishing the 

following: (1) The date of its first sale to 

an unaffiliated customer in the United 

States; (2) the date on which the fresh 

garlic was first entered; and (3) the 

volume of that shipment.7

Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(ii)(B), since Infang is the 

exporter, but not the producer of the 

subject merchandise, Infang’s producer, 

Jinxiang Excelink Foodstuffs Co., Ltd. 

(Excelink) certified: (1) That it did not 

export subject merchandise to the 

United States during the period of 

investigation; (2) that it has never been 

affiliated with any producer or exporter 

that did export of subject merchandise 

to the United States during the POI; and 

(3) that Excelink produced the subject 

merchandise exported by Infang in the 

relevant POR.8

Commerce queried the database of 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) in an attempt to confirm that the 

shipment reported by Infang had 

entered the United States for 

consumption and that liquidation had 

been properly suspended for 

antidumping duties. The information 

which Commerce examined was 

consistent with that provided by Infang 

in its request.9 In particular, the CBP 

data confirmed the price and quantity 

reported by Infang for the sale that 

forms the basis for this NSR request. 

Period of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.214(c), an 

exporter or producer may request a NSR 

within one year of the date on which its 

subject merchandise was first entered. 

Moreover, 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1) states 

that if the request for the review is made 

during the six-month period ending 

with the end of the semiannual 

anniversary month, the Secretary will 

initiate an NSR in the calendar month 

immediately following the semiannual 

anniversary month. Further, 19 CFR 

315.214(g)(1)(i)(B) states that if the NSR 

was initiated in the month immediately 

following the semiannual anniversary 

month, the POR will be the six-month 

period immediately preceding the 

semiannual anniversary month. Infang 

made the request for an NSR, which 

included all documents and information 

required by the statute and regulations, 

within one year of the date on which its 

fresh garlic first entered. Its request was 

filed in May, which is the semiannual 

anniversary month of the order. Infang 

also requested that Commerce use the 

discretion afforded it under 19 CFR 

351.214(f)(2)(ii) to alter the POR to 

capture the entry. As stated by Infang, 

‘‘{t}he invoice and export date of the 

shipment was during the six-month 

POR, but the shipment entered the 

United States . . . after this period.’’ 10

Based on the information provided by 

Infang, Commerce finds that extending 

the POR to capture the entry would not 

prevent the completion of the review 

within the time limits set by 

Commerce’s regulations. Therefore, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.214(f)(2)(ii), Commerce is extending 

the POR by one month. Accordingly, the 

POR is November 1, 2017, through May 

31, 2018.11

Initiation of New Shipper Review 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b), and the 

information on the record, Commerce 

finds that Infang’s request meets the 

threshold requirements for initiation of 

a NSR and, therefore, is initiating an 

NSR of Infang. Commerce intends to 

issue the preliminary results within 180 

days after the date on which this review 

is initiated and the final results within 

90 days after the date on which we issue 

the preliminary results.12

It is Commerce’s usual practice in 

cases involving non-market economies 

to require that a company seeking to 

establish eligibility for an antidumping 

duty rate separate from the countrywide rate (i.e., a separate rate) provide 

evidence of de jure and de facto absence 

of government control over the 

company’s export activities.13

Accordingly, Commerce will issue 

questionnaires to Infang, which will 

include a section requesting information 

with regard to its export activities for 

the purpose of establishing its eligibility 

for a separate rate. The review will 

proceed if the responses provide 

sufficient indication that Infang is not 

subject to either de jure or de facto 

government control with respect to its 

exports of fresh garlic. 

We will conduct this new shipper 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act, as amended by 

the Trade Facilitation and Trade 

Enforcement Act of 2015.14

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this 

proceeding should submit applications 

for disclosure under administrative 

protective order in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.305 and 351.306. 

This initiation and notice are in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214 and 

351.221(c)(1)(i).
