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 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 (APO) 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to 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 the return or 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 

These final results of review are 

issued and published in accordance 

with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 9, 2024, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register its 

preliminary affirmative determination 

in the LTFV investigation of wine 

bottles from China.1 We invited 

interested parties to comment on the 

Preliminary Determination. 

A summary of the events that 

occurred since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, may 

be found in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.2 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).

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are wine bottles from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I to this notice. 

Scope Comments 

On August 19, 2024, Commerce 

published the final scope memorandum 

for this investigation.3 Commerce is not 

modifying the scope language as it 

appeared in the Initiation Notice and 

Preliminary Determination for the final 

determination.4 See the scope in 

Appendix I to this notice. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances, in Part 

Commerce preliminarily determined, 

in accordance with section 733(e)(1) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), and 19 CFR 351.206(c)(1), that 

critical circumstances exist with respect 

to imports of wine bottles for the Chinawide entity.5 For the final 

determination, pursuant to section 

735(a)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.206, we find that critical 

circumstances exist for Shandong 

Changyu, the non-selected separate rate 

companies, and the China-wide entity.6

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, Commerce conducted verification 

of the sales and factors of production

Analysis of Comments Received 

The issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs by the parties in this 

investigation are discussed in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. For a list of 

the issues raised by interested parties 

and addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum, see Appendix 

II. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the information at verification and 

comments received from interested 

parties, we made certain changes to the 

calculations of Shandong Changyu and 

Ruiquan’s estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins. We also corrected the 

name of Chongqing Hoson Glass Co., 

Ltd. For a discussion of these changes, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

China-Wide Entity and Use of Adverse 

Facts Available 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination,8 Commerce continues to 

find, pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) 

of the Act, that the use of facts 

otherwise available, with adverse 

inferences, is warranted in determining 

the dumping rate for the China-wide 

entity. For this final determination, as 

adverse facts available (AFA), we have 

continued to assign a rate of 218.15 

percent, which is the highest calculated 

individual dumping margin of any 

respondent in the investigation, to the 

China-wide entity.9

Separate Rates 

Other than one comment concerning 

the spelling of Chongqing Hoson Glass 

Co., Ltd.’s name, no interested party 

commented on Commerce’s preliminary 

separate rate determinations,10 and we 

have no basis to reconsider those 

determinations. Accordingly, we 

continue to find that Shandong Changyu 

and Ruiquan, and certain nonindividually examined companies that 

are listed in the rate table below, are 

eligible for a separate rate. 

In calculating the rate for nonindividually examined respondents that 

received a separate rate in a non-market 

economy LTFV investigation, 

Commerce normally looks to section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which pertains 

to the calculation of the all-others rate 

in a market economy LTFV 

investigation, for guidance. Pursuant to 

section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, normally 

this rate shall be an amount equal to the 

weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for those companies 

individually examined, excluding any 

dumping margins that are zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available under section 776 of the Act. 

The statute further provides that, where 

all calculated dumping margins are 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts available under section 776 of the 

Act, Commerce may use ‘‘any 

reasonable method’’ for assigning the 

rate to non-selected respondents. 

Commerce has calculated an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for the two mandatory 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate, Shandong Changyu and 

Ruiquan, that is not zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts available. 

Therefore, in accordance with section 

735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we have 

assigned Shandong Changyu and 

Ruiquan’s calculated estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin to 

the non-individually examined 

respondents that received a separate 

rate. 

Combination Rates 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination, and Policy Bulletin 

05.1,11 Commerce calculated 

combination rates for the respondents 

that are eligible for a separate rate. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the 

following estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins exist:

Disclosure 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed in this final 

determination to interested parties 

within five days of any public 

announcement 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). 

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

subject merchandise, as described in 

Appendix I of this notice, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after August 9, 

2024, the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Section 733(e)(2) of the Act provides 

that, given an affirmative determination 

of critical circumstances, any 

suspension of liquidation shall apply to 

unliquidated entries of subject 

merchandise entered, or withdrawn 

from warehouse, for consumption on or 

after the later of: (a) the date which is 

90 days before the date on which the 

suspension of liquidation was first 

ordered; or (b) the date on which notice 

of initiation of the investigation was 

published. Commerce finds that critical 

circumstances exist for imports of 

subject merchandise produced or 

exported by Shandong Changyu, the 

non-selected separate rate companies, 

and the China-wide entity. In 

accordance with section 733(e)(2)(A) of 

the Act, the suspension of liquidation 

shall apply to unliquidated entries of 

shipments of subject merchandise from 

the producer(s) or exporter(s) identified 

in this paragraph that were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after May 11, 2024, 

which is 90 days before the publication 

of the Preliminary Determination. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), upon 

the publication of this notice, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to require 

a cash deposit for estimated 

antidumping duties for appropriate 

entries. 

Commerce will instruct CBP to 

require the following cash deposits of 

estimated antidumping duties for all 

appropriate entries: (1) for the producer/ 

exporter combinations listed in the table 

above, the applicable cash deposit rate 

is listed in the table for that 

combination; (2) for all combinations of 

Chinese producers/exporters of the 

merchandise under consideration that 

have not established eligibility for a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be equal to the cash deposit rate listed 

for the China-wide entity in the table 

above; and (3) for all third-country 

exporters of the merchandise under 

consideration that are not listed in the 

table above, the cash deposit rate is the 

cash deposit rate applicable to the 

Chinese producer/exporter combination 

or the China-wide entity that supplied 

that third-country exporter. These 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

U.S. International Trade Commission 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) of 

this final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because the final 

determination in this investigation is 

affirmative, in accordance with section 

735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make 

its final determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, by reason of imports of 

wine bottles no later than 45 days after 

this final determination. If the ITC 

determines that material injury or threat 

of material injury does not exist, the 

proceeding will be terminated and all 

cash deposits will be refunded or 

canceled, and suspension of liquidation 

will be lifted. If the ITC determines that 

such injury does exist, Commerce will 

issue an antidumping duty order 

directing CBP to assess, upon further 

instructions by Commerce, antidumping 

duties on all imports of the subject 

merchandise that are entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation, as 

discussed above in the ‘‘Continuation of 

Suspension of Liquidation’’ section. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 

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). 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 sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination and this notice are 

issued and published pursuant to 

sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, 

and 19 CFR 351.210(c). 

Dated: December 23, 2024.

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties regarding our Preliminary 

Determination, we made certain changes 

to both Fevisa’s and Owens America’s 

preliminary weighted-average dumping 

margin calculations. For a discussion of 

these changes, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

All-Others Rate 

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

provides that the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other 

producers and exporters not 

individually investigated shall be equal 

to the weighted average of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margins 

established for individually investigated 

exporters and producers, excluding 

rates that are zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely under section 776 

of the Act, i.e., facts otherwise available.
