(Commerce) determines that except for 

one respondent for which Commerce 

calculated a zero percent dumping 

margin, the other companies subject to 

this administrative review either made 

sales of subject merchandise at prices 

below normal value (NV) during the 

period of review (POR) July 1, 2019, 

through June 30, 2020, did not ship 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POR, or were not 

entitled to a separate rate. 

DATES: Applicable February 8, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 5, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited interested parties to comment.1

For details regarding 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 scope of the Order covers dry 

xanthan gum, whether or not coated or 

blended with other products. For a full 

description of the scope, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs are addressed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the issues that parties raised and 

to which we responded in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

to this notice as an appendix. 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 Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that Shanghai Smart 

Chemicals Co., Ltd. did not have 

shipments of subject merchandise 

during the POR. As we received no 

information to contradict our 

preliminary determination with respect 

to this company, we continue to find 

that it made no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Results, we corrected certain ministerial 

errors in the calculation of Fufeng’s,4

one of the mandatory respondents, 

weighted-average dumping margin. For 

a discussion of these changes, see the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rates 

No parties commented on our 

preliminary separate rate findings. 

Therefore, we have continued to grant 

Meihua 5 and Fufeng (the mandatory 

respondents), and two other companies/ 

company groups listed in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’ section below 

separate rate status. However, we have 

continued to deny separate rate status to

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate 

Respondents 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address what rate to 

apply to respondents 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 non-selected 

respondents that are not examined 

individually in an administrative 

review. Section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

states that the all-others rate should be 

calculated by averaging the weightedaverage dumping margins for 

individually-examined respondents, 

excluding rates that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available. When the rates for 

individually examined companies are 

all zero, de minimis, or based entirely 

on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of 

the Act provides that Commerce may 

use ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to 

establish the all others rate. 

We calculated a zero percent dumping 

margin for one of the mandatory 

respondents in this review, Fufeng, and 

we based the other mandatory 

respondent, Meihua’s, dumping margin 

on total AFA. Therefore, we assigned 

the separate rate respondents a dumping 

margin equal to the simple average of 

the dumping margins for Fufeng and 

Meihua, consistent with the guidance in 

section 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act.6

Final Results of Review 

We are assigning the following 

dumping margins to the firms listed 

below for the period July 1, 2019, 

through June 30, 2020:

dumping margins

Disclosure 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), within 

five days of the publication this Federal 

Register notice, we will disclose to the 

parties to this proceeding, the 

calculations that we performed for these 

final results of review. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

will determine, and U.S. Customs and 

Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise covered 

by the final results of this review. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication date 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). 

Where the respondent’s weightedaverage dumping margin is zero or de 

minimis, or where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.7 For entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database 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), Commerce will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the 

China-wide rate (i.e., 154.07 percent).8

For any individually-examined 

respondent whose weighted-average 

dumping margin is above de minimis 

(i.e., 0.50 percent), we will calculate 

importer-specific assessment rates on 

the basis of the ratio of the total amount 

of antidumping duties calculated for 

each importer’s examined sales and the 

total entered value of the sales, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).9

For respondents not individually 

examined in this administrative review 

that qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be equal to the 

simple average of the dumping margins 

assigned to the mandatory respondents 

in the final results of this review. 

For the respondents not eligible for a 

separate rate and that are part of the 

China-wide entity, we intend to instruct 

CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment 

rate of 154.07 percent (i.e., the Chinawide entity rate) to all entries of subject 

merchandise during the POR that were 

exported by these companies. 

Additionally, if Commerce 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 China-wide rate. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective for 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date of the final results of 

review, as provided for by section 

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

exporters listed in the table above, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

established in the final results of review 

that is listed for the exporter in the 

table; (2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed China and non-China 

exporters not listed in the table above

that YP and Synn should no longer be collapsed.

we continue to determine that YP and Synn should 

not be collapsed in this review.

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 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. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a 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, 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. 

We are issuing these final results of 

administrative review and publishing 

this notice in accordance with sections 

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