Utility Scale Wind Towers From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Preliminary Results of Antidumping 

Duty Administrative Review; 2013– 

2014 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) is conducting an 

administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on utility scale 

wind towers (‘‘wind towers’’), from the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam 

(‘‘Vietnam’’). The period of review 

(‘‘POR’’) is February 13, 2013, through 

January 31, 2014. The review covers one 

mandatory respondent, CS Wind 

Vietnam and CS Wind Corporation 

(‘‘collectively, CS Wind Group’’). We 

preliminarily find that the respondent 

has not made sales below (‘‘NV’’) during 

the POR. Interested parties are invited to 

comment on these preliminary results. 

DATES: Effective Date: March 9, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

order are certain wind towers, whether 

or not tapered, and sections thereof.1

Merchandise covered by the order is 

currently classified in the Harmonized 

Tariff System of the United States 

(‘‘HTSUS’’) under subheadings 

7308.20.0020 2 or 8502.31.0000.3 Prior 

to 2011, merchandise covered by the 

order was classified in the HTSUS 

under subheading 7308.20.0000 and 

may continue to be to some degree. 

While the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of the order is dispositive.4

Methodology 

The Department conducted this 

review in accordance with section 

751(a)(1)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (‘‘the Act’’). The Department 

calculated export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Because 

Vietnam is a non-market economy 

(‘‘NME’’) within the meaning of section 

771(18) of the Act, the Department 

calculated NV in accordance with 

section 773(c) of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum, which is hereby 

adopted by this notice. The Preliminary 

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’’).5 ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is also available

Disclosure and Public Comment 

The Department intends to disclose 

calculations performed for these 

preliminary results to the parties within 

five days of the date of publication of 

this notice in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). Interested parties may 

submit case briefs no later than 30 days 

after the date of publication of these 

preliminary results of review.6 Rebuttal 

briefs may be filed no later than five 

days after case briefs are filed and may 

respond only to arguments raised in the 

case briefs.7 A table of contents, list of 

authorities used and an executive 

summary of issues should accompany 

any briefs submitted to the Department. 

This summary should be limited to five 

pages total, including footnotes. 

Interested parties who wish to request 

a hearing must submit a written request 

to the Assistant Secretary for 

Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, within 30 

days after the date of publication of this 

notice.8 Requests should contain the 

party’s name, address, and telephone 

number, the number of participants, and 

a list of the issues to be discussed. Oral 

argument presentations will be limited 

to issues raised in the briefs. If a request 

for a hearing is made, the Department 

intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street 

and Constitution Avenue NW., 

Washington, DC 20230, at a date and 

time to be determined.9 Parties should 

confirm by telephone the date, time, and 

location of the hearing two days before 

the scheduled date. 

All submissions, with limited 

exceptions, must be filed electronically 

using ACCESS.10 An electronically filed 

document must be received successfully 

in its entirety by the Department’s 

electronic records system, ACCESS, by 

5 p.m. Eastern Time (‘‘ET’’) on the due 

date. Documents excepted from the 

electronic submission requirements 

must be filed manually (i.e., in paper 

form) with the APO/Dockets Unit in 

Room 1870 and stamped with the date 

and time of receipt by 5 p.m. ET on the 

due date.11

The Department intends to issue the 

final results of this administrative 

review, which will include the results of 

its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, 

within 120 days of publication of these 

preliminary results, pursuant to section 

751(a)(3)(A) of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, the Department will 

determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries covered by this review.12 The 

Department intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication date of the final results of 

this review. For any individually 

examined respondent whose weightedaverage dumping margin is above de 

minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent) in the final 

results of this review, the Department 

will calculate an importer-specific 

assessment rate on the basis of the ratio 

of the total amount of antidumping 

duties calculated for the importer’s 

examined sales and the total entered 

value of sales, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(b)(1). In these preliminary 

results, the Department applied the 

assessment rate calculation method 

adopted in the Final Modification for 

Reviews.13 Where either the 

respondent’s weighted-average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer- (or customer-) specific 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties. 

On October 24, 2011, the Department 

announced a refinement to its 

assessment practice in NME 

antidumping duty cases.14 Pursuant to 

this refinement in practice, for 

merchandise that was not reported in 

the U.S. sales databases submitted by an 

exporter individually examined during 

this review, but that entered under the 

case number of that exporter (i.e., at the 

individually-examined exporter’s cash 

deposit rate), the Department will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the Vietnam-wide rate. Additionally, 

pursuant to this refinement, if the 

Department determines that an exporter 

under review had no shipments of the 

subject merchandise, any suspended 

entries that entered under that 

exporter’s case number will be 

liquidated at the Vietnam-wide rate. 

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 Vietnam 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by 

sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the exporter listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review (except, if the rate is zero or de 

minimis, then the cash deposit rate will 

be zero for that exporter); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese 

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; 

(3) for all Vietnamese exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

been found to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate for the Vietnamese-wide entity, 

59.91 percent; and (4) for all nonVietnamese exporters of subject 

merchandise which have not received 

their own rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese 

exporter that supplied that nonVietnamese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a 

preliminary 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 

review period. Failure to comply with 

this requirement could result in the 

Department’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties

We are issuing and publishing these 

results in accordance with sections 

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

CFR 351.213.
