SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 23, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of 

this review in the Federal Register.1

After publication of the Preliminary 

Results, a number of interested parties 

filed case and rebuttal briefs and 

Commerce held a public hearing (see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum 

for details).2 On April 19, 2022, 

Commerce extended the deadline for the 

final results of this review until June 21, 

2022.3 The final weighted-average 

dumping margins determined in this 

review are in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section of this notice.

cells, and modules, laminates, and 

panels, consisting of crystalline silicon 

photovoltaic cells, whether or not 

partially or fully assembled into other 

products, including, but not limited to, 

modules, laminates, panels and building 

integrated materials. Merchandise 

covered by this Order is currently 

classified in the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

under subheadings 8501.71.0000, 

8501.72.1000, 8501.72.2000,

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all of the issues that 

were raised in interested parties’ case 

and rebuttal briefs in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

sections in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum, including a list of issues 

that parties raised, and to which we 

responded, is in the appendix to this 

notice. 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

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at https://access.trade.gov/ 

public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results we found 

that, during the POR, there were no 

shipments of subject merchandise into 

the United States by Canadian Solar,5

JingAo Solar Co., Ltd., and Yingli.6 No 

parties commented on these preliminary 

determinations. Accordingly, because 

we have not received any information to 

contradict our preliminary noshipments determination, nor any 

comment in opposition to our 

preliminary finding, our determinations 

remain unchanged for the final results 

of review.7 We will issue instructions to 

U.S. Customs Border and Protection 

(CBP) based on these final results. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

As discussed in detail in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum, since 

issuing the Preliminary Results, we 

corrected certain ministerial errors in

our calculation of Jinko’s 8 and Risen’s 9

(the mandatory respondents) weightedaverage dumping margins, changed 

certain surrogate values, granted BYD 

(Shangluo) Industrial Co., Ltd. (BYD 

Shangluo) a separate rate, and updated 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to the companies who are 

eligible for a separate rate. 

Separate Rates 

As noted above, we have granted BYD 

Shangluo, which we denied a separate 

rate in the Preliminary Results, a 

separate rate. We made no other changes 

to our preliminary separate rate 

findings. Therefore, we granted Jinko, 

Risen, and the eleven other companies/ 

company groups listed in the ‘‘Final 

Results of Review’’ section below 

separate rate status. However, we have 

continued to deny separate rate status to 

all of the companies listed in Appendix 

II of the Preliminary Results notice 

except BYD Shangluo. 

Dumping Margin for Non-Individually 

Examined Respondents Granted 

Separate Rate Status 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the rate to 

apply to respondents not selected for 

individual examination in a non-market 

economy (NME) administrative review 

who are eligible for a separate rate. 

When considering which rate to apply 

to such respondents, Commerce 

generally looks to section 735(c)(5) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), which provides instructions for 

calculating the all-others rate in an 

antidumping duty investigation. Section 

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

Commerce to base the all-others rate on 

the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margins established for the 

exporters and producers individually 

investigated, excluding any dumping 

margins that are zero, de minimis, or 

based entirely on facts available. 

Because we calculated final dumping 

margins for the mandatory respondents 

Jinko and Risen which are not zero, de 

minimis, or based entirely on facts 

available, consistent with Commerce’s 

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

Act, we assigned the separate rate 

recipients a dumping margin equal to 

the weight average of Jinko’s and Risen’s 

final dumping margins. We weight 

averaged Jinko’s and Risen’s final 

dumping margins using the public 

values of their reported sales of subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR.10

Commerce’s policy regarding the 

conditional review of the China-wide 

entity applies to this administrative 

review.11 Under this policy, Commerce 

will not review the China-wide entity in 

an administrative review unless a party 

specifically requests, or Commerce selfinitiates, a review of the entity. Because 

no party requested a review of the 

China-wide entity, and Commerce did 

not self-initiate a review of the entity, 

the China-wide entity is not under 

review, and the dumping margin 

assigned to the China-wide entity (i.e., 

238.95 percent) has not changed.12

Disclosure 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(b), within 

five days of the publication of this

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011), for a full discussion 

of this practice. 

notice in the Federal Register, we will 

disclose to the parties to this 

proceeding, the calculations that we 

performed for these final results of 

review. 

Assessment 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

will determine, and U.S. Customs 

Border and Protection (CBP) shall 

assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise covered by the final results 

of this review. Commerce intends to 

issue assessment instructions to CBP no 

earlier than 35 days after the date of 

publication date of the final results of 

this review in the Federal Register. We 

intend to instruct CBP to liquidate 

entries containing subject merchandise 

exported by the companies under 

review that we determine in the final 

results to be part of the China-wide 

entity at the China-wide entity rate of 

238.95 percent. 

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). 

Where merchandise was entered into 

the United States under the case number 

of a mandatory respondent in this 

review during the POR (i.e., entered 

under the mandatory respondent’s cash 

deposit rate), but the mandatory 

respondent did not report a 

corresponding sale or entry in its U.S. 

sales database, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the China-wide 

rate. In addition, for the companies for 

which we determined that there were no 

entries, exports, or sales of subject 

merchandise during the POR, any 

suspended entries of subject 

merchandise entered under one of the 

companies’ case numbers during the 

POR will be liquidated at the Chinawide rate.13

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review in the Federal 

Register. Pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, for shipments of 

subject merchandise from the People’s 

Republic of China entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the date of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register, the following cash deposits 

will be required: (1) for the companies/ 

company groups listed in the table in 

the ‘‘Final Results of Review’’ section 

above, the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate listed for each company/company 

group in the table; (2) for previously 

investigated Chinese and non-Chinese 

exporters 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 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate previously 

established for the China-wide entity 

(i.e., 238.95 percent); and (4) for all nonChina exporters of subject merchandise 

which have not received their own rate, 

the cash deposit rate will be the rate 

applicable to the Chinese exporter that 

supplied the non-Chinese 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 POR. 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 also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305, 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 terms of an APO is a violation 

which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
