SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 18, 2023, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

preliminary results of the 2021–2022 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on electrolytic 

manganese dioxide from the People’s 

Republic of China (China).1 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Results. No parties 

commented on the Preliminary Results. 

Accordingly, the Preliminary Results 

remain unchanged in the final results of 

this review, and no decision 

memorandum accompanies this notice. 

Scope of the Order 2

The merchandise covered by the 

Order includes all manganese dioxide 

(MnO2) that has been manufactured in 

an electrolysis process, whether in 

powder, chip, or plate form. Excluded 

from the scope are natural manganese 

dioxide (NMD) and chemical manganese 

dioxide (CMD). The merchandise 

subject to the Order is classified in the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) at subheading 

2820.10.00.00. While the HTSUS 

subheading is provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the scope of the Order is 

dispositive. 

Final Results of Review 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Results, we continue to determine that 

the sole respondent under review, DCL, 

did not establish its eligibility for a 

separate rate and is part of the Chinawide entity. 

Disclosure 

Because Commerce received no 

comments on the Preliminary Results, 

we have not modified our analysis and 

no decision memorandum accompanies 

this Federal Register notice. We are 

adopting the Preliminary Results as the 

final results of this review. 

Consequently, there are no calculations 

to disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b) for these final results. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

has 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. No earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, Commerce intends to 

instruct CBP to liquidate any entries of 

subject merchandise from DCL that 

entered the United States during the 

POR at the China-wide rate (i.e., 149.92 

percent). 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 this notice in the Federal 

Register for all shipments of subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice, as provided by 

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

any previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese or non-Chinese exporter that 

has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter’s 

existing cash deposit rate; (2) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, including DCL, the cash deposit 

rate will be equal to the dumping 

margin assigned to the China-wide 

entity, which is 149.92 percent; 3 and (3) 

for all non-Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that do not have a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal 

to the dumping margin applicable to the 

Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that 

non-Chinese exporter. 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 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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). 

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 terms of an 

APO is a violation subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing the 

final results of this review in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and 

351.221(b)(5).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 8, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results in the 

Federal Register.1 On December 19, 

2023, Commerce extended the deadline 

of the final results of this administrative 

review to February 6, 2024 in 

accordance with section 751(a)(3)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2).2 For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the Preliminary Results, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum.3

Commerce 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 metal lockers from China. For a 

complete description of the Order, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues that parties raised and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

as 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 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

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

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding the Preliminary 

Results, we made certain changes to the 

margin calculations for Hangzhou 

Evernew and ZXM/XMT.5

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

determined that three non-individually 

examined companies are eligible for 

separate rates in this administrative 

review.6 We did not receive any 

comments or argument since the 

issuance of the Preliminary Results that 

provide a basis for reconsideration of 

this determination. Therefore, for these 

final results, we continue to find that 

Kunshan Dongchu Precision Machinery 

Co., Ltd., Tianjin Jia Mei Metal 

Furniture Ltd., and Zhejiang Focus-On 

Import & Export Co., Ltd. qualify for a 

separate rate in this review. 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

separate rate to be applied to companies 

not selected for individual 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 an 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for separate-rate 

respondents which Commerce did not 

examine individually in an 

administrative review. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the allothers rate should be calculated by 

averaging the weighted-average 

dumping margins calculated for 

individually-examined respondents, 

excluding dumping margins that are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available. Accordingly, for the final 

results of this review, we are assigning 

to the non-selected separate rate 

respondents an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin based on the 

average of Hangzhou Evernew and 

ZXM/XMT weighted-average dumping 

margins weighted by their publicly 

available ranged U.S. sales values. 

Final Results of Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

February 11, 2021, through July 31, 

2022:

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 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. Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1), where ZXM/XMT and 

Hangzhou Evernew reported the entered 

values of their U.S. sales, we calculated 

importer-specific antidumping duty 

assessment rates by aggregating the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales of each importer and 

dividing each of these amounts by the 

total entered value associated with those 

sales. Where ZXM/XMT and Hangzhou 

Evernew did not report entered value, 

we calculated a per-unit assessment rate 

for each importer by dividing the total 

amount of dumping calculated for the 

examined sales made to that importer by 

the total quantity associated with those 

sales. To determine whether an

discussion of this practice.

Court Decision Not in Harmony With the Final 

Determination of Antidumping Duty Investigation;

importer-specific, per-unit assessment 

rate is de minimis, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we also calculated 

an importer-specific ad valorem ratio 

based on estimated entered values. 

Where either a respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. Pursuant to a 

refinement in our non-market economy 

practice, for sales that were not reported 

in the U.S. sales data submitted by 

ZXM/XMT and Hangzhou Evernew 

during this review, we will instruct CBP 

to liquidate entries associated with 

those sales at the rate for the China-wide 

entity.8

For the respondents which were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, and which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to them for the final results. 

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 rates for the companies 

identified above in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section will be equal to the 

company-specific weighted-average 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this administrative 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., 322.25 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. 

As discussed in the Preliminary 

Results, we preliminarily determined 

that the record no longer supports a 

finding that ZXM should be collapsed 

with XMT subsequent to January 13, 

2022, as ZXM ceased involvement with 

the production and/or exportation of 

subject merchandise prior to the POR, 

was acquired by an unrelated thirdparty a month prior, and all indicia of 

affiliation and/or control between the 

two companies ceased as of that date.10

Accordingly, we continue to review the 

single entity for the February 11, 2021, 

through January 13, 2022, segment of 

this review and for the purposes of 

subsequent assessment. This finding has 

not changed for the final results as no 

new evidence to the contrary has been 

timely placed on the record. Therefore, 

because XMT remains the only 

component of the former ZXM/XMT 

entity involved in the exportation of 

subject merchandise in the final results, 

we will assign the cash deposit rate only 

to XMT as the exporter, and instruct 

CBP to discontinue the ZXM/XMT 

combination rate. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 and/or countervailing 

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 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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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). Timely 

written notification of return/ 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

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

351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
