Certain Activated Carbon From the 

People’s Republic of China: Amended 

Final Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review; 2022–2023 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) is amending the 

final results of the administrative review 

of the antidumping duty (AD) order on 

certain activated carbon (activated 

carbon) from the People’s Republic of 

China (China) to correct ministerial 

errors. Based on the amended final 

results, we find that the companies 

under review sold activated carbon in 

the United States at less than normal 

value during the period of review (POR), 

April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023. 

DATES: Applicable December 26, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 25, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

final results of the 2022–2023 

administrative review of the AD order 

on activated carbon from China.1 On 

November 20, 2024, we received a 

timely submitted ministerial error 

allegation from the mandatory 

respondents, Jilin Bright Future 

Chemicals Co., Ltd. (Jilin Bright) and 

Ningxia Guanghua Cherishmet 

Activated Carbon Co., Ltd. (GHC).2 On 

November 25, 2024, Calgon Carbon 

Corporation and Norit Americas Inc. 

(the petitioners), submitted comments 

in response to the ministerial error 

allegations filed on behalf of GHC and 

Jilin Bright.3 We received no other 

ministerial error comments from 

interested parties. Commerce is 

amending the Final Results to correct 

the ministerial errors. 

Legal Framework 

Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), defines a 

‘‘ministerial error’’ as including ‘‘errors 

in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical errors 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

unintentional error which the 

administering authority considers 

ministerial.’’ 4 With respect to final 

results of administrative reviews, 19 

CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce 

‘‘will analyze any comments received 

and, if appropriate, correct any . . . 

ministerial error by amending the final 

results of review . . .’’ 

Ministerial Error 

Commerce reviewed the record, and 

we agree that the errors alleged by the 

mandatory respondents constitute 

ministerial errors within the meaning of 

section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.224(f).5 Specifically, we find that 

we made inadvertent errors related to 

the inclusion of two selling, general, 

and administrative (SG&A) expenses in 

the average financial ratios utilized in 

the review.6 We also agree with GHC’s 

allegation related to the incorrect 

surrogate value being applied to a factor 

of production.7 Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.224(e), Commerce is amending the 

Final Results to reflect the correction of 

the ministerial errors, as described in 

the Ministerial Error Memorandum.8

Based on the corrections, Jilin Bright’s 

final dumping margin changed from 

1.95 dollars per kilogram to 1.90 dollars 

per kilogram and GHC’s final dumping 

margin changed from 1.21 dollars per 

kilogram to 1.10 dollars per kilogram. 

As a result, we are also revising the rate 

assigned to the non-individually 

examined separate rate companies, 

utilizing the same methodology in the 

Final Results,9 from 1.44 dollars per 

kilogram to 1.35 dollars per kilogram. 

The amended estimated weightedaverage dumping margins are listed in 

the ‘‘Amended Final Determination’’ 

section below. 

For a complete discussion of the 

ministerial error allegation, as well as 

Commerce’s analysis, see the 

accompanying Ministerial Error 

Memorandum.10 The Ministerial Error 

Memorandum is on file electronically 

via ACCESS. ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. 

Amended Final Results of Review 

As a result of correcting these 

ministerial errors described above, 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the period 

April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023:

amended final results or, if there is no 

public announcement, within five days 

of the date of publication of the notice 

of amended final results in the Federal 

Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

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 of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

amended final results of this review. 

For the GHC and Jilin Bright, 

Commerce will calculate importerspecific assessment rates for 

antidumping duties, in accordance with 

19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). For entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales 

database submitted by the exporter 

individually examined during this 

review, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate.13 For the respondents that were not 

selected for individual examination in 

this administrative review but qualified 

for a separate rate, the per unit 

assessment rate will be the rate 

established for these companies in these 

amended final results of review. 

For the six companies identified in 

the appendix to this notice as part of the 

China-wide entity, we will instruct CBP 

to apply the China-wide per-unit 

assessment rate to all entries of subject 

merchandise made during the POR 

which were exported by those 

companies. 

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 

Upon publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register the following cash 

deposit requirements will be effective 

for all shipments of the subject 

merchandise from China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication 

date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) 

of the Act: (1) the amended cash deposit 

rate for GHC and Jilin Bright and the 

other companies not individually 

examined in this review will be equal to 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

that is established in the amended final 

results of this review, except if the rate 

is less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, 

de minimis within the meaning of 19 

CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the 

cash deposit rate will be zero; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not 

listed above or in Appendix I that 

received a separate rate in a prior 

segment of this proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

existing exporter-specific rate published 

for the most recently completed segment 

of this proceeding; (3) for all Chinese 

exporters of subject merchandise that 

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., 2.42 USD/kg); and (4) for all nonChinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not received 

their own separate rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Chinese exporter that supplied that nonChinese exporter. These 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 review period. 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. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the final 

reminder to parties subject to 

administrative protective order (APO) of 

their responsibility concerning the 

disposition 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 return/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 these 

amended final results of review in 

accordance with sections 751(h) and 

777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e). 

Dated: December 17, 2024.
