Appendix 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by the 

investigation is slag pots with a nominal 

capacity of 65 cubic feet to 1200 cubic feet 

regardless of shape, form, or finish. 

Slag pots are load bearing devices typically 

formed as a curved shell or bowl-shaped 

container. Slag pots are metallurgical goods 

typically produced either using a casting 

process or a fabrication process (e.g., 

welding) and may include a ceramic 

refractory coating, heat treatment or various 

finishes in order to handle high temperature 

slag. Slag pots may contain integral features 

or attachments including (1) legs (or a stand) 

and (2) pivotal mounting hooks or brackets. 

Legs (or a stand) are a fixed or detachable 

support structure which allows the slag pot 

to be securely positioned upright on a surface 

when not being lifted or transported and may 

also keep the slag pot off the ground and 

allow for air cooling. The pivotal mounting 

hooks and brackets are specialized 

attachment points (such as lifting lugs or 

trunnions) that allow the slag pot to be 

securely lifted and transported by a crane or 

lifting device, or that enable the slag pot to 

swing or rotate while remaining attached to 

the lifting mechanism. The merchandise 

covered by this investigation includes all 

aforementioned attachments of a fully 

assembled slag pot, regardless of whether 

shipped assembled or unassembled. 

Slag pots are included within the scope 

whether finished or unfinished, whether 

imported individually or with other subject 

or non-subject merchandise, or whether 

assembled with attachments or unassembled. 

Finishing includes, but is not limited to, arc 

washing, welding, grinding, shot blasting, 

heat treatment, machining, and assembly of 

various parts. 

The country of origin for slag pots whether 

fully assembled, unfinished or finished, is 

the country where the slag pot was cast or 

forged. Subject merchandise includes slag 

pots that have been further processed or 

further assembled in a third country. Further 

processing and further assembly include, but 

is not limited to, arc washing, welding, 

grinding, shot blasting, heat treatment, 

painting, coating, priming, machining, and 

assembly of attachments. 

Slag pots subject to the investigation are 

specified within the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under 

subheading 7309.00.0090. The slag pot 

attachments covered by the scope of this 

investigation may enter under HTSUS 

subheadings 7316.00.0000, 7325.10.0080, 

7325.99.1000, 7325.99.5000, and 

7326.19.0080. The HTSUS subheading is 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes only. The written description of the 

scope of the investigation is dispositive.

published the Preliminary 

Determination in the Federal Register 

and invited interested parties to 

comment.1 For a complete description 

of the events that followed the 

Preliminary Determination, see 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). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are paper plates from 

China. For a complete description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

We received no comments from 

interested parties on the scope of the 

investigation as it appeared in the 

Preliminary Determination. Therefore, 

we made no changes to the scope of the 

investigation. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 

between November 12 and 24, 2024, 

Commerce conducted verification of the 

sales and factors of production 

information submitted by Fuzhou 

Hengli Paper Co., Ltd. (Fuzhou Hengli) 

and Jinhua P&P Product Co., Ltd 

(Jinhua).3 We used standard verification 

procedures, including an examination of 

relevant accounting records and original 

source documents provided by Fuzhou 

Hengli and Jinhua. 

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. 

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances, in Part 

In accordance with section 

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

351.206(h), Commerce finds for the final 

determination that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to 

imports of paper plates for the nonselected companies eligible for a 

separate rate 4 and continues to find that 

critical circumstances exist with respect 

to the China-wide entity.5 We find for 

the final determination that critical 

circumstances exist with respect to

producers, but that critical 

circumstances do not exist for Jinhua.6

For a full description of the 

methodology and the results of 

Commerce’s critical circumstances 

analysis, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our review and analysis of 

the information received during 

verification and comments received 

from interested parties for this final 

determination, we made certain changes 

to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins for Fuzhou Hengli 

and Jinhua. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Use of Adverse Facts Available (AFA) 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination,7 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. In addition, for this final 

determination, we are also assigning a 

rate based on AFA to Fuzhou Hengli. 

We are assigning a rate of 515.40 

percent, which is the highest calculated 

individual dumping margin of any 

respondent in the investigation, to the 

China-wide entity and Fuzhou Hengli.8

Separate Rates 

No interested party commented on 

Commerce’s preliminary separate rate 

determinations 9 and we have no basis 

to reconsider those determinations. 

Accordingly, we continue to find that 

Fuzhou Hengli, Jinhua, and certain nonindividually examined companies that 

are listed in the rate table below, are 

eligible for a separate rate. 

Combination Rates 

Consistent with the Preliminary 

Determination, and Policy Bulletin 

05.1,10 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 for the period 

July 1, 2023, through December 31, 

2023:

there is no public announcement,

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 17 / Tuesday, January 28, 2025 / Notices 8273 

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 start or 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 as described below. 

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 continues to find 

that critical circumstances exist for 

imports of subject merchandise 

produced or exported by the nonselected 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 nonselected separate rate companies and 

the China-wide entity that were entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after June 7, 2024, 

which is 90 days before the publication 

of the Preliminary Determination. 

Provisional measures were not imposed 

for Fuzhou Hengli following the 

preliminary determination because of 

Commerce’s preliminary negative 

determination with respect to it. 

However, Commerce’s final affirmative 

critical circumstances determination 

now applies to Fuzhou Hengli as a 

result of the final affirmative 

determination of critical circumstances 

with respect to it. Accordingly, pursuant 

to section 735(c)(4)(C) of the Act, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries 

from Fuzhou Hengli, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after 90-days 

prior to the date of publication of this 

final determination in the Federal 

Register. For Jinhua, because Commerce 

has made a negative final determination 

with regard to critical circumstances, 

Commerce will instruct CBP to continue 

to suspend liquidation of all appropriate 

entries which were entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after September 5, 

2024, the date of publication in the 

Federal Register of the Preliminary 

Determination and, in accordance with 

section 735(c)(3) of the Act, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to terminate any 

retroactive suspension of liquidation 

required under section 733(e)(2) of the 

Act, and release any bond or other 

security, and refund any cash deposit 

required, under section 733(d)(1)(B) of 

the Act, with respect to entries of the 

merchandise the liquidation of which 

was suspended retroactively under 

section 733(e)(2) of the Act before 

September 5, 2024. 

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 

(ITC) 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, we will notify the 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 

paper plates 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 (APO) 

This notice serves as the only 

reminder to parties subject to an 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: January 21, 2025.
