SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 19, 2021, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

antidumping duty (AD) order on certain 

corrosion inhibitors from the People’s 

Republic of China (China).1 On March 2, 

2023, Commerce published in the 

Federal Register a notice of opportunity 

to request an administrative review of 

the Order.2 On May 8, 2024, based on 

timely requests for an administrative 

review, Commerce initiated this 

administrative review of the Order.3

This administrative review covers 10 

companies, including two mandatory 

respondents, Anhui Trust Chem Co., 

Ltd. (ATC) and Nantong Botao Chemical 

Co., Ltd. (Botao) 4 On August 8, 2024, 

Commerce tolled certain deadlines in 

this administrative review by seven 

days.5 On November 21, 2024, 

Commerce extended the deadline for 

issuing the preliminary results of this 

review until December 23, 2024.6 On 

December 9, 2024, Commerce tolled the 

deadline to issue the preliminary results 

in this administrative review by 90 

days. Accordingly, the deadline for the 

preliminary results of this review is now 

March 24, 2025.7

For a complete description of the 

events that followed the initiation of 

this administrative review, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.8

a full description of the scope of the 

Order, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.9

Rescission of Review, in Part 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested a review 

withdraws its request within 90 days of 

the date of publication of the notice of 

initiation. On June 5, 2024, Wincom Inc. 

(the petitioner) timely withdrew its 

request for review of Jiangyin Delian 

Chemical Co., Ltd. (Delian) within 90 

days of the date of publication of the 

Initiation Notice.10 As a result, 

Commerce is rescinding this review 

with respect to Delian, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1). 

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act). Commerce calculated export 

price in accordance with section 772 of 

the Act. Further, because China is a 

non-market economy (NME) country 

within the meaning of section 771(18) of 

the Act, Commerce calculated NV in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

preliminary results, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rates 

In all proceedings involving a NME 

country, Commerce maintains a 

rebuttable presumption that all 

companies are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assessed a 

single weighted-average dumping 

margin unless the company can 

affirmatively demonstrate an absence of 

government control, both in law (de 

jure) and in fact (de facto), with respect 

to its exports (i.e., can affirmatively 

demonstrate that it is eligible for a 

separate rate).11 Commerce has 

preliminarily determined that 

information placed on the record by 

Gold Chemical Limited (Gold Chemical) 

demonstrates that this company is 

eligible for a separate rate.12

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a separate rate to be 

applied to companies 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 separate-rate 

respondents which Commerce did not 

examine individually in an 

administrative review. Section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act articulates a 

preference that Commerce is not to 

calculate an all-others rate using rates 

for individually examined respondents 

which are zero, de minimis, or based 

entirely on facts available. For the 

preliminary results of this review, 

Commerce determined the estimated 

dumping margins for ATC and Botao to 

be 96.67 and 96.04 percent, 

respectively. For the reasons explained 

in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, we are assigning a 96.46 

percent rate to the non-examined 

respondent, Gold Chemical, which 

qualifies for a separate rate in this 

review, consistent with Commerce’s 

practice and section 735(c)(5)(A) of the 

Act. 

China-Wide Entity 

Commerce’s policy regarding the 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.13 Under this policy, the Chinawide entity will not be under review 

unless a party specifically requests, or 

Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 

entity. Because no party requested a 

review of the China-wide entity in this 

review, the entity is not under review, 

and the entity’s assessment rate (i.e., 

241.02 percent) is not subject to 

change.14 For the reasons explained in 

the Preliminary Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce considers all other 

companies for which a review was 

requested (none of which filed a 

separate rate application), listed in 

Appendix II to this notice, to be part of 

the China-wide entity.15

Preliminary Results of the 

Administrative Review 

Commerce preliminarily determines 

that the following weighted-average 

dumping margins exist for the 

administrative review covering the 

period March 1, 2023, through February 

29, 2024: 

Exporter 

Weighted-average 

dumping margin

Nantong Botao Chemical Co., Ltd ............................................................................................................................................... 96.04 

Gold Chemical Limited ................................................................................................................................................................ 96.46 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

Commerce intends to disclose to 

parties to the proceeding the 

calculations performed for these 

preliminary results of review within five 

days of any public announcement of 

these preliminary results or, if there is 

no public announcement, within five 

days of the date of publication of this 

notice in the Federal Register, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(1)(ii), 

interested parties may submit case briefs

each issue addressed; and (2) a table of 

authorities.17

As provided under 19 CFR 

351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 

proceedings we have encouraged 

interested parties to provide an 

executive summary of their briefs that 

should be limited to five pages total, 

including footnotes. In this review, we 

instead request that interested parties 

provide, at the beginning of their briefs, 

a public executive summary for each 

issue raised in their briefs.18 Further, we 

request that interested parties limit their 

executive summary of each issue to no 

more than 450 words, not including 

citations. We intend to use the executive 

summaries as the basis of the comment 

summaries included in the issues and 

decision memorandum that we will 

issue for the final results in this 

administrative review. We request that 

interested parties include footnotes for 

relevant citations in the executive 

summary of each issue. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).19

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), 

interested parties who wish to request a 

hearing, limited to issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a 

written request to the Assistant 

Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance, U.S. Department of 

Commerce, filed electronically via 

ACCESS within 30 days after the 

publication of this notice. Requests 

should contain (1) the party’s name, 

address, telephone number; (2) the 

number of participants and whether any 

participant is a foreign national; and (3) 

a list of the issues to be discussed. If a 

request for a hearing is made, Commerce 

will announce the date and time of the 

hearing. Issues raised in the hearing by 

a party will be limited to those raised 

in the party’s case and rebuttal briefs. 

An electronically filed hearing request 

must be received successfully in its 

entirety by Commerce’s electronic 

records system, ACCESS, by 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time within 30 days after the 

date of publication of this notice. 

Assessment Rates 

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 this 

review. Upon issuing the final results, 

Commerce will determine, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries covered by this 

review.20

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). 

For ATC and its affiliates, and Botao, 

Commerce intends to calculate importer 

or customer-specific assessment rates, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).21

Where the respondent reported reliable 

entered values, Commerce intends to 

calculate importer or customer-specific 

ad valorem assessment rates by 

aggregating the amount of dumping 

calculated for all U.S. sales to the 

importer or customer and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

merchandise sold to the importer or 

customer.22 Where the respondent did 

not report entered values, Commerce 

will calculate importer or customerspecific assessment rates by dividing the 

amount of dumping for reviewed sales 

to the importer or customer by the total 

quantity of those sales. Commerce will 

calculate an estimated ad valorem 

importer or 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.23

Where an importer or 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 or customer-specific ad 

valorem assessment rate is zero or de 

minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.24

Pursuant to a refinement to 

Commerce’s assessment practice, where 

sales of subject merchandise exported 

by an individually examined 

respondent were not reported in the 

U.S. sales data submitted by the 

respondent, but the merchandise was 

entered into the United States during 

the POR, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

liquidate any entries of such 

merchandise at the AD assessment rate 

for the China-wide entity.25

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) selected 

for individual examination, as 

appropriate, in the final results of this 

review.26

For Delian, the company for which 

this review is rescinded with these 

preliminary results, we will instruct 

CBP to assess antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries at a rate equal to the 

cash deposit of estimated antidumping 

duties required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period March 

1, 2023, through February 29, 2024, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

review for 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) for the subject 

merchandise exported by the company 

listed above that has a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will be equal to the 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of this 

administrative review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then zero cash 

deposit will be required); (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not 

listed above 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; (3) for 

all Chinese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found

Final Results of Review 

Unless otherwise extended, 

Commerce intends to issue the final 

results of this administrative review, 

which will include the results of its 

analysis of issues raised in case and 

rebuttal briefs, within 120 days of these 

preliminary results of review in the

Notification to Importers 

This notice 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 and/or countervailing 

duties prior to liquidation of the 

relevant entries during these PORs. 

Failure to comply with this requirement 

could result in Commerce’s 

presumption that reimbursement of 

antidumping/and or countervailing 

duties 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 

Commerce is issuing and publishing 

the preliminary results of this review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1)(B),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 18, 2024, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

initiated countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigations of U.S. imports of 

overhead door counterbalance torsion 

springs (overhead door springs) from 

India and China.1 Currently, the 

preliminary determinations are due no 

later than January 22, 2025. 

Postponement of Preliminary 

Determinations 

Section 703(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), requires 

Commerce to issue the preliminary 

determination in a countervailing duty 

investigation within 65 days after the 

date on which Commerce initiated the 

investigation. However, section 

703(c)(1) of the Act permits Commerce 

to postpone the preliminary 

determination until not later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated the investigation if: (A) the 

petitioner makes a timely request for a 

postponement; or (B) Commerce 

concludes that the parties concerned are 

cooperating, the investigation is 

extraordinarily complicated, and 

additional time is necessary to make a 

preliminary determination. Under 19 

CFR 351.205(e), the petitioner must 

submit a request for postponement 25 

days or more before the scheduled date 

of the preliminary determination and 

must state the reasons for the request. 

Commerce will grant the request unless 

it finds compelling reasons to deny the 

request. 

On December 20, 2024, the 

petitioners 2 submitted timely requests 

that Commerce postpone the 

preliminary determinations in the CVD 

investigations of overhead door springs 

from India and China.3 The petitioners 

requested postponements to provide 

Commerce with additional time to 

review and analyze questionnaire 

responses and accurately determine 

countervailable subsidy rates.4

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.205(e), the petitioners have stated 

the reasons for requesting a 

postponement of the preliminary 

determinations, and Commerce finds no 

compelling reason to deny the requests. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

703(c)(1)(A) of the Act, Commerce is 

postponing the deadline for the 

preliminary determinations in these 

investigations until not later than 130 

days after the date on which Commerce 

initiated these investigations, i.e., March 

28, 2025. Pursuant to section 705(a)(1) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(1), the 

deadline for the final determinations in 

these investigations will continue to be 

75 days after the date of the preliminary 

determinations. 

This notice is issued and published 

pursuant to section 703(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.205(f)(1).
