    All issues raised by interested parties in briefs are addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in 
the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided in an appendix to this 
notice. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from the 
interested parties, we made changes to the Preliminary Results margin 
calculation for Dingli,\6\ the sole company under review, which 
resulted in changes to its preliminary margin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Memorandum, ``Final Analysis Memorandum,'' dated 
concurrently with this notice (Final Analysis Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rate

    Commerce determines that Dingli is eligible to receive a separate 
rate in this administrative review.\7\ There are no other companies 
under review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results PDM at 14-16 for more details.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding the conditional review of the China-
wide entity applies to this administrative review.\8\ Under this 
policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
entity. 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., 165.14 percent) is not subject to change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin 
exists for the period April 13, 2022, through March 31, 2023, for the 
mandatory respondent:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                          Exporter                             dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhejiang Dingli Machinery Co., Ltd.........................       12.39
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed for these final 
results to interested parties within five days after the publication of 
this notice.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with these 
final results of review.
    Because Dingli's ad valorem weighted-average final dumping margin 
is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent), we have 
calculated importer-specific assessment rates for this respondent, in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 88731]]

    For sales for which Dingli reported entered value, we have 
calculated importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates based on the 
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's 
examined sales to the total entered value of those sales, in accordance 
with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For sales for which Dingli did not report 
entered value, we have calculated importer-specific per-unit duty 
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping 
duties calculated for the examined sales to the total quantity of those 
sales. To determine whether an 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.
    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 this administrative review for 
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on, or after, the publication date of 
the final results of review, as provided in section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 
Act: (1) for the subject merchandise exported by the company listed 
above that has a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to 
the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of 
this administrative review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, 
then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) for previously 
investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters of subject 
merchandise not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior 
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be 
the existing exporter-specific rate; (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 that for the China-wide 
entity, i.e., 165.14 percent; \11\ 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 that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

    \11\ See Order, 87 FR at 22191, adjusted for export subsidies as 
outlined in Certain Mobile Access Equipment and Subassemblies 
Thereof from the People's Republic of China: Final Affirmative 
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 87 FR 9576, 9578 
(February 22, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 review period. 
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 increase in the amount of antidumping duties by the 
amount of the countervailing duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice also serves as a 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), 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 
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review and 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)(2).

    Dated: November 4, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
