SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This review covers one producer/exporter of the subject 
merchandise, Electrolux Home Products Corp. N.V. and Electrolux Home 
Products de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (collectively, Electrolux). On 
February 24, 2022, Commerce published the Preliminary Results and 
invited interested parties to comment.\1\ We received no comments from 
interested parties on the Preliminary Results. Commerce conducted this 
administrative review in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2020-2021, 87 FR 10336 (February 24, 2022), and accompanying 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by the order are all large residential washers 
and certain subassemblies thereof from Mexico. The products are 
currently classifiable under subheadings 8450.20.0040 and 8450.20.0080 
of the Harmonized Tariff System of the United States (HTSUS). Products

Preliminary Results PDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finals Results of the Review

    We received no comments and are making no changes from the 
Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a result of this review, we continue 
to determine that the following weighted-average dumping margin exists 
for the respondent for the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 
2021:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Weighted-
                                                               average
                     Producer/exporter                         dumping
                                                                margin
                                                              (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Electrolux.................................................         0.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of 
this review.
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Electrolux reported the entered 
value of its U.S. sales such that we calculated importer-specific ad 
valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of 
dumping calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of 
the sales for which entered value was reported. Where the respondent's 
weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the 
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment 
rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the 
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
    Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries 
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Electrolux for which 
the company did not know that the merchandise it sold to the 
intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was 
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP 
to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate of 36.52 percent 
\3\ if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in 
the transaction.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Large Residential Washers from Mexico and the Republic 
of Korea: Antidumping Duty Orders, 78 FR 11148 (February 15, 2013).
    \4\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue liquidation instructions to CBP no 
earlier than 41 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

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the 
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rate for the exporter 
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin 
established in the 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 companies not participating in this review, the cash deposit 
rate will continue to be the company-specific cash deposit rate 
published for the most recently completed segment; (3) if the exporter 
is not a firm covered in this review, or the original less-than-fair-
value (LTFV) investigation, but the producer is, then the cash deposit 
rate will be the cash deposit rate established for the most recently 
completed segment for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 
36.52 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV 
investigation.\5\ These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

of Korea: Antidumping Duty Orders, 78 FR 11148 (February 15, 2013).

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 the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only 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 results in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
