SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) determines that 

companies in the People’s Republic of 

China (China) made sales of subject 

merchandise at less than normal value 

(NV) during the period of review (POR) 

March 1, 2022, through February 28,

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 3, 2024, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this review in the Federal Register and 

invited interested parties to comment on 

those results.1 For a complete 

description of the events that occurred 

since the Preliminary Results, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.2

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 3

The products covered by the Order 

are certain corrosion inhibitors from 

China. A complete description of the 

scope of the Order is contained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

China-Wide Entity 

As stated in the Preliminary Results, 

because no party requested a review of 

the China-wide entity in this review, the 

China-wide entity is not under review 

and the China-wide entity’s rate, i.e., 

241.02 percent, is not subject to 

change.4

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

administrative review are addressed in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

and are listed 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 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS).

Results.5 For a more detailed discussion 

of the issues raised by parties, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

The statute and our regulations do not 

address the establishment of a rate to be 

assigned to respondents not selected for 

individual examination when we limit 

our examination of companies subject to 

the administrative review pursuant to 

section 777A(c)(2)(B) of the Act. 

Generally, we look 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 respondents not 

individually examined 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 and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ Accordingly, 

in the final results of review, we are 

assigning to the non-selected separate 

rate respondents an estimated weightedaverage dumping margin based on the 

average of Anhui Trust Chem Co., Ltd.’s, 

and its affiliates (collectively Anhui), 

and Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd.’s 

(Botao) rates weighted by their publicly 

available ranged U.S. sales values. 

Final Results of the Review 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

March 1, 2022, through February 28, 

2023: 

Exporter 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin 

(percent) 

Anhui Trust Chem Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Trust Chem Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Trust Chem Co., Ltd ...................................................... 11.58 

Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................... 8.27 

Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies 

Gold Chemical Limited ................................................................................................................................................................ 10.49 

Jiangyin Delian Chemical Co., Ltd .............................................................................................................................................. 10.49 

Kanghua Chemical Co., Ltd ........................................................................................................................................................ 10.49 

Disclosure 

Because we have not modified our 

analysis to the Preliminary Results, 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 the final 

results of review. 

Assessment Rates 

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

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

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protections (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), for Anhui and 

Botao, we calculated importer-specific 

ad valorem duty assessment rates based 

on the ratio of the total amount of 

dumping calculated for each importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of the sales in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importerspecific assessment rate is de minimis 

(i.e., less than 0.5 percent), the entries 

by that importer will be liquidated 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

For all non-selected separate rate 

applicants subject to this review, we 

will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries 

of subject merchandise that entered the 

United States during the POR at the 

average of the rates calculated for Anhui 

and Botao as listed above. For entries of 

subject merchandise during the POR 

produced by Anhui and Botao for which 

they did not know their merchandise 

was destined for the United States, we 

intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such 

entries at the China-wide rate if there is 

no rate for the intermediate company or 

companies involved in the transaction. 

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 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for all 

shipments of the 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 

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

cash deposit rate for the companies 

subject to this review will be the rate 

established in these final results of the 

review; (2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters not listed above that have 

separate rates, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the exporter-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding in 

which they were reviewed; (3) for all 

Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the China-wide entity (i.e., 241.02 

percent); and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not received their own separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate applicable to the Chinese 

exporter(s) that supplied that nonChinese exporter.6 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 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 has occurred and 

the subsequent assessment of double 

antidumping duties, and/or an increase 

in the amount of antidumping duties by 

the amount of countervailing duties.
