SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) preliminarily determines 

that certain companies under review 

sold subject merchandise at less than 

normal value during the period of 

review (POR), February 1, 2020, through 

January 31, 2021. Interested parties are 

invited to comment on these 

preliminary results of this review. 

DATES: Applicable March 4, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On April 1, 2021, in response to 

review requests from multiple parties, 

Commerce initiated an administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on common alloy aluminum sheet 

(CAAS) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China).1 The POR is February 1, 

2020, through January 31, 2021. 

On May 18, 2021, Commerce selected 

one exporter for individual examination 

as a mandatory respondent, Jiangsu 

Alcha Aluminum Co., Ltd.2 In the 2018– 

2020 administrative review of this 

antidumping duty order Commerce 

determined that Jiangsu Alcha 

Aluminum Co., Ltd., Baotou Alcha 

Aluminum Co., Ltd. (Baotou Alcha), and 

Alcha International Holdings Limited 

(Alcha International) should be treated 

as a single entity.3 Additionally, 

Commerce determined that Jiangsu 

Alcha Aluminum Group Co., Ltd. 

(Jiangsu Alcha) is the successor-ininterest to Jiangsu Alcha Aluminum Co., 

Ltd.4 Therefore, the mandatory 

respondent in the current administrative 

review is the entity of Jiangsu Alcha, 

Baotou Alcha, and Alcha International 

(collectively, Alcha). 

During the course of this review, 

Alcha filed responses to Commerce’s 

questionnaires and supplemental 

questionnaires, and the Aluminum 

Association Common Alloy Aluminum 

Sheet Trade Enforcement Working 

Group and its individual members 5 (the 

domestic industry) commented on those 

responses. On October 14, 2021, 

Commerce extended the time limit for 

completing the preliminary results of 

this review, until February 25, 2022.6

For details regarding the events that 

occurred subsequent to the initiation of 

the review, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.7 A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as an 

Appendix to this notice. The 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum is a 

public document and is made available

scope of the order, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rates 

We preliminarily determine that the 

information placed on the record by 

Jiangsu Alcha, Alcha International, and 

Yinbang Clad Material Co., Ltd. 

(Yinbang Clad) demonstrates that these 

companies are eligible for a separate 

rate. No companies under review have 

been preliminary determined to be 

ineligible for a separate rate. For 

additional information regarding 

Commerce’s preliminary separate rates 

determinations, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Dumping Margins for Separate Rate 

Companies 

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. Where the rates for the 

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. In this 

review, we calculated a rate for Alcha 

that is not zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available. Therefore, we 

have assigned this rate to Yinbang Clad, 

the only company not selected for 

individual examination in this review 

that is eligible for a separate rate. 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In 

determining the dumping margins in 

this review, we calculated export and 

constructed export prices in accordance 

with section 772 of the Act. Because 

Commerce has determined that China is 

a nonmarket economy country,8 within 

the meaning of section 771(18) of the 

Act, Commerce calculated normal value 

in accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying the 

preliminary results of this review, see 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We are preliminarily assigning the 

following dumping margins to the firms

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

Assessment Rates 

Upon issuance of the final results of 

this review, Commerce will determine, 

and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties 

on all appropriate entries covered by 

this review.17 Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after 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). 

For each individually examined 

respondent in this review whose 

weighted-average dumping margin in 

the final results of review is not zero or 

de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent),

People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty 

Order, 84 FR 2813 (February 8, 2019). 

Commerce intends to calculate 

importer/customer-specific assessment 

rates.18 Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, Commerce 

intends to calculate importer/customerspecific ad valorem assessment rates by 

aggregating the amount of dumping 

calculated for all U.S. sales to the 

importer/customer and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

merchandise sold to the importer/ 

customer.19 Where the respondent did 

not report entered values, Commerce 

will calculate importer/customerspecific assessment rates by dividing the 

amount of dumping for reviewed sales 

to the importer/customer by the total 

quantity of those sales. Commerce will 

calculate an estimated ad valorem 

importer/customer-specific assessment 

rate to determine whether the per-unit 

assessment rate is de minimis; however, 

Commerce will use the per-unit 

assessment rate where entered values 

were not reported.20 Where an importer/ 

customer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is not zero or de 

minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

collect the appropriate duties at the time 

of liquidation. Where either the 

respondent’s weighted average dumping 

margin is zero or de minimis, or an 

importer/customer-specific ad valorem 

assessment rate is zero or de minimis, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate 

appropriate entries without regard to 

antidumping duties.21

For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review, but which 

qualified for a separate rate, the 

assessment rate will be based on the 

weighted-average dumping margin(s) 

assigned to the respondent(s), as 

appropriate, in the final results of this 

review.22

Pursuant to Commerce’s refinement to 

its practice, for sales that were not 

reported in the U.S. sales database 

submitted by an exporter individually 

examined during this review, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to liquidate the entry 

of such merchandise at the dumping 

margin for the China-wide entity.23

Additionally, where Commerce 

determines that an exporter under 

review had no shipments of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR, any suspended entries of 

subject merchandise that entered under 

that exporter’s CBP case number during 

the POR will be liquidated at the 

dumping margin for the China-wide 

entity. 

In accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, the final results 

of this 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 antidumping 

duties, where applicable. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require a cash deposit for antidumping 

duties equal to the weighted-average 

amount by which the normal value 

exceeds U.S. price. The following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date of this notice in the Federal 

Register, as provided by section 

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

exporters listed in the table above, the 

cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

review for the exporter (except, if the 

dumping margin is de minimis (i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit 

rate will be zero for that exporter); (2) 

for previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that 

are not listed in the table above but that 

have separate rates, the cash deposit rate 

will continue to be the exporter-specific 

rate established in the most recently 

completed segment of this proceeding; 

(3) for all Chinese 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 China-wide entity (i.e., 59.72 

percent) 24 and (4) for all non-Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

have not received their own rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the China exporter that 

supplied that non-Chinese 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 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 duties 

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 

the countervailing duties. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

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 and 351.221(b)(4).
