Emulsion Styrene-Butadiene Rubber 

from Mexico: Final Results of 

Antidumping Duty Administrative 

Review, Final Determination of No 

Shipments, and Partial Rescission; 

2021–2022 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

Industrias Negromex S.A. de C.V. 

(Negromex) did not make sales of 

emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESB 

rubber) from Mexico at less than normal 

value during the period of review (POR), 

September 1, 2021, through August 31, 

2022. Commerce also determines that 

Dynasol Elastomeros, S.A. de C.V. 

(Dynasol Elastomeros) had no 

shipments during the POR. 

Additionally, we are rescinding this 

review with respect to Dynasol LLC 

(Dynasol). 

DATES: Applicable February 13, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 10, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited interested parties to comment.1

No interested party submitted 

comments on the Preliminary Results. 

Accordingly, the final results remain 

unchanged from the Preliminary 

Results. Commerce conducted this 

review in accordance with section 751 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). 

Scope of the Order 2

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is ESB rubber from Mexico. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Companies Not Selected for 

Individual Examination 

The Act and Commerce’s regulations 

do not address the establishment of a 

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 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 or de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

However, pursuant to section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, if the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for all exporters and 

producers individually examined are 

zero, de minimis, or determined based 

entirely on facts otherwise available, 

Commerce may use any reasonable 

method to establish the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

all other producers or exporters. 

For these final results, we continue to 

determine that the weighted-average 

dumping margin for Negromex is zero 

percent. Therefore, we are applying a 

rate of zero percent to the companies 

not selected for individual examination 

in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(B) 

of the Act. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that Dynasol Elastomeros 

did not have suspended entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR.3

No parties commented on Commerce’s 

preliminary no-shipment determination. 

Therefore, for these final results, we

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 

(May 6, 2003). 6See Order, 82 FR at 42791. 

continue to determine that Dynasol 

Elastomeros had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR. 

Partial Rescission 

In the Preliminary Results, we 

notified parties of our intent to rescind 

this administrative review for Dynasol, 

as it is a U.S. importer and is, therefore, 

not eligible for review.4 Because we 

continue to find that Dynasol is not 

eligible for review, we are rescinding 

this review with respect to Dynasol. 

Final Results of the Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the POR, September 1, 2021, 

through August 31, 2022:

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 new 

calculations to disclose in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.224(b) for these final 

results. 

Assessment Rates 

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

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

Commerce will 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 of this review. For 

Negromex, because its weighted-average 

dumping margin is zero, we will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries 

reported in this review without regard 

to antidumping duties. Consistent with 

Commerce’s assessment practice, for 

entries of subject merchandise during 

the POR produced by Negromex for 

which it did not know its merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate 

unreviewed entries at the all-others rate 

if there is no rate for the intermediate 

company(ies) involved in the 

transaction.5

For the companies which were not 

selected for individual examination, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. Further, because 

we continue to find that Dynasol 

Elastomeros had no shipments of 

subject merchandise during the POR, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate any 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise associated with Dynasol 

Elastomeros at the all-others rate. For 

Dynasol, for which this administrative 

review is rescinded, antidumping duties 

shall be assessed at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). 

Commerce intends to issue 

assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 41 days after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

review in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 356.8(a). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements for estimated antidumping 

duties 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 in the Federal 

Register, as provided by section 

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

deposit rate for the companies under 

review will be zero; (2) for merchandise 

exported by a producer or exporter not 

covered in this review but covered in a 

prior completed 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; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review, a prior review, or the 

original less-than-fair-value (LTFV) 

investigation, but the producer has been 

covered in a completed segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will be 

the company-specific rate established 

for the most recent period for the 

producer of the merchandise; (4) the 

cash deposit rate for all other producers 

or exporters will continue to be 19.52 

percent,6 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 

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 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 a 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 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing this 

notice in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR 

351.213(h)(1).
