Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised by interested parties 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 in Appendix I. 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, we determined that Hebei Minmetals and 
Guangdong Wireking made no shipments of subject merchandise to the 
United States during the POR.\7\ As we have not received any arguments 
identifying information that undermines our preliminary finding, we 
made no changes to that determination for the final results of review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Preliminary Results PDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    We corrected ministerial errors in our preliminary calculations of 
the manufacturing overhead ratio, freight-in costs, and certain net 
U.S. prices for Nanjing Kingmore Logistics Equipment Manufacturing Co., 
Ltd. (Nanjing Kingmore). We also corrected the draft liquidation 
instructions for Nanjing Kingmore. For a discussion of these 
corrections, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Separate Rates

    No parties commented on our preliminary separate rates 
determinations. We continue to find that Dongsheng and Nanjing Kingmore 
(i.e., the mandatory respondents), and the four companies listed in the 
``Final Results of Review'' section below, are eligible for a separate 
rate. Additionally, we have continued to deny separate rate status to 
each of the companies listed in Appendix II.

Rate for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents

    The statue 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 weighted-average dumping margins 
determined for individually-examined respondents, excluding rates that 
are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. When the 
rates determined for individually examined respondents 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.
    The final weighted-average dumping margins that we calculated for 
the mandatory respondents Dongsheng and Nanjing Kingmore are not zero, 
de minimis, or based entirely on facts available. Therefore, we 
assigned a weighted-average dumping margin to the non-individually 
examined respondents to which we granted separate rate status equal to 
the weighted average of the weighted-average dumping margins that we 
calculated for Dongsheng and Nanjing Kingmore, consistent with the 
guidance in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Memorandum, ``First Administrative Review of the 
Antidumping Duty Order on Certain Steel Racks and Parts Thereof from 
China: Final Calculation of the Rate for Separate Rate 
Respondents,'' dated concurrently with this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The China-Wide Entity

    Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in 
this segment of the proceeding, the entity is not under review, and the 
entity's rate (i.e., 144.50 percent) is not subject to change.\9\ Other 
than the companies for which we made a final no-shipment determination, 
Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested 
that did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility, to be part of the 
China entity.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Order, 84 FR 48584.
    \10\ In this review, we have determined that the companies 
listed in Appendix II subject to the review are now part of the 
China-wide entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Results of Review

    We are assigning the following weighted-average dumping margins to 
the firms listed below for the period March 4, 2019, through August 31, 
2020:

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

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

Disclosure

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), within five days of the publication 
of this notice in the Federal Register, 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)(1), 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 weighted-average dumping margin is zero or 
de minimis, or where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem or 
per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 
liquidate appropriate entries without regard to

[[Page 20819]]

antidumping duties.\11\ For U.S. 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 entity rate (i.e., 144.50 percent).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 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).
    \12\ See Order, 84 FR 48584.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For any individually-examined respondent whose weighted-average 
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), we will 
calculate importer-specific or customer-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).\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For respondents not individually examined in this administrative 
review that qualified for a separate rate, the assessment rate will be 
equal to the weighted 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, which we 
considered to be part of the China-wide entity, we intend to instruct 
CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 144.50 percent (i.e., the 
China-wide entity rate) to all U.S. 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 entity 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 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 have separate rates, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published 
for the most recent period; (3) for all China exporters of subject 
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, 
the cash deposit rate will be the rate previously established for the 
China-wide entity, which is 144.50 percent; and (4) for all non-China 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own 
rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China 
exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These cash deposit 
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further 
notice.

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    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 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(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 these final results of administrative review and 
publishing this notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) 
of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: April 1, 2022.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy and Negotiations.
