Disclosure 

There are no new calculations to 

disclose in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b) for these final results. 

Assessment Rate 

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

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

Commerce shall determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review. Because the respondent’s 

weighted-average dumping margin or 

importer-specific assessment rates are 

zero in the final results of review, we 

intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

entries without regard to antidumping 

duties.4 The final results of this 

administrative review shall be the basis 

for the assessment of antidumping 

duties on entries of merchandise 

covered by the final results of this 

review and for future deposits of 

estimated duties, where applicable.5

Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’ 

will apply to entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR produced 

by the mandatory respondent for which 

the company did not know that the 

merchandise it sold to an intermediary 

(e.g., a reseller, trading company, or 

exporter) was destined for the United 

States. In such instances, 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.6

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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 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 rates for the company 

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 

(i.e., 0.00 percent); (2) for merchandise 

exported by a company not covered in 

this administrative review but covered 

in a completed prior segment of the 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the company-specific rate 

published for the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 

in this review or completed prior 

segment of this proceeding but the 

producer is, the cash deposit rate will be 

the company-specific rate established 

for the most recently-completed 

segment of this proceeding for the 

producer of the subject merchandise; 

and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 28.48 percent, the rate established in 

the investigation of this proceeding.7

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 

has occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of double antidumping 

duties. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an 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 the 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)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5) and 19 CFR

4Commerce normally does not issue 

administrative reviews under section 751 of the Act 

which cover companion AD and CVD orders in the 

same Federal Register notice because these are 

different segments under different proceedings. 

However, these reviews were conducted for the 

express purpose of determining if certain exporters 

which cannot currently participate in a certification 

regime established under 19 CFR 351.228 are 

eligible to certify as a result of these reviews and 

these are companion orders. Similar to scope 

rulings, under 19 CFR 351.225(m)(2), and 

circumvention inquiries, under 19 CFR 

351.226(m)(2), Commerce has determined that 

segments conducted to address a parties’ 

certification eligibility under 19 CFR 351.228 may 

be conducted in a single decision applicable to both 

proceedings.

United States was sourced from a 

country other than China.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce published the Preliminary 

Results of this administrative review on 

August 5, 2024.1 For a description of the 

events that occurred since the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2

Scope of the Orders 3

The products covered by the Orders 

are quartz surface products from China. 

For a complete description of the scopes 

of the Orders, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.4

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

case briefs are addressed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. A list of 

these issues is attached as an 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. 

Final Results 

Commerce conducted these reviews 

in accordance with section 751 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

We determine that Bada Industries, 

Karina Stone, Unique Stone Sdn. Bhd. 

(Unique Stone), and Universal Quartz 

have not demonstrated that the quartz 

slab used to produce their Malaysian 

exports to the United States during the 

periods of review was sourced from a 

country other than China. As a result, 

we find that Bada Industries, Karina 

Stone, Unique Stone, and Universal 

Quartz continue to be ineligible to 

participate in the certification process 

for quartz surface products from 

Malaysia. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping and 

countervailing duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.5 For the 

period November 4, 2021, through 

December 31, 2022, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate any entries for the 

exporters under review at 371.47 

percent, the combination of the Chinawide rate established in the AD 

investigation and the all-others rate 

established in the CVD investigation.6

For the period of January 1, 2023, 

through June 30, 2023, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate any entries for the 

exporters under review at 326.15 

percent, the China-wide rate established 

in the AD investigation.7

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—AD 

Because Commerce continues to find 

that the Malaysian exporters subject to 

this review (i.e., Bada Industries, Karina 

Stone, Unique Stone, and Universal 

Quartz) are ineligible to participate in 

the certification process, the following 

cash deposit instructions remain 

effective for all 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 this 

administrative review, as provided by 

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

the Malaysian exporters subject to this 

review (i.e., Bada Industries, Karina 

Stone, Unique Stone, and Universal 

Quartz), the AD cash deposits continue 

to be equal to the current China-wide 

rate (i.e., 326.15 percent); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

exporter of subject merchandise that 

have 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 

rate established for the China-wide 

entity, i.e., 326.15 percent; 8 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 Chinese exporter(s) that supplied 

that non-Chinese exporter. These 

existing cash deposit requirements shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Cash Deposit Requirements—CVD 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, for the exporters 

subject to this review (i.e., Bada 

Industries, Karina Stone, Unique Stone, 

and Universal Quartz), CBP shall 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties for the 

companies subject to this review at the 

all-others rate (i.e., 45.32 percent).9 For 

all non-reviewed firms, CBP will 

continue to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties at the 

all-others rate or the most recent 

company-specific rate applicable to the 

company, as appropriate. These existing 

cash deposit requirements shall remain 

in effect until further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

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

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing the antidumping 

duty (AD) orders on aluminum 

lithographic printing plates (printing

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In accordance with sections 705(d) 

and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act), on September 27, 

2024, Commerce published its 

affirmative final determinations of sales 

at less than fair value (LTFV) for 

printing plates from China and Japan,1

and its affirmative final determination 

that countervailable subsidies are being 

provided to producers and exporters of 

printing plates from China.2

On November 12, 2024, pursuant to 

sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Act, 

the ITC notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determinations that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of dumped 

imports of printing plates from China 

and Japan, and subsidized imports of 

printing plates from China, within the 

meaning of sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.3 On 

November 18, 2024, the ITC published 

its final determinations in the Federal 

Register.4 Further, the ITC determined 

that critical circumstances do not exist 

with respect to LTFV imports and 

subsidized imports of printing plates 

from China.5

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are printing plates from China and 

Japan. For a complete description of the 

scope of the orders, see the appendix to 

this notice. 

AD Orders 

On November 12, 2024, in accordance 

with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

determinations that an industry in the 

United States is materially injured 

within the meaning of section 

735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of 

imports of printing plates from China 

and Japan that are sold in the United 

States at LTFV.6 Therefore, in 

accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 

736 of the Act, Commerce is issuing 

these AD orders. Because the ITC 

determined that imports of printing 

plates from China and Japan are 

materially injuring a U.S. industry, 

unliquidated entries of such 

merchandise from China and Japan, 

entered or withdrawn from warehouse 

for consumption, are subject to the 

assessment of antidumping duties. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will 

direct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further 

instruction by Commerce, antidumping 

duties equal to the amount by which the 

normal value of the merchandise 

exceeds the export price (or constructed 

export price) of the merchandise on all 

relevant entries of printing plates from 

China and Japan. Antidumping duties 

will be assessed on unliquidated entries 

of printing plates entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after May 1, 2024, the date of 

publication of the LTFV Preliminary 

Determinations,7 but will not include 

entries occurring after the expiration of 

the provisional measures period and 

before publication of the ITC’s final 

injury determination, as further 

described below. 

Critical Circumstances—AD China 

With respect to the ITC’s negative 

critical circumstances determination on 

imports of printing plates from China, 

we will instruct CBP to lift suspension 

and to refund any cash deposits made 

to secure the payment of estimated 

antidumping duties with respect to 

entries of the subject merchandise from 

China entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

February 1, 2024 (i.e., 90 days prior to 

the date of the publication of the China 

LTFV Preliminary Determination), but 

before May 1, 2024 (i.e., the date of
