Request’’). 

addition, pursuant to section 

751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), Shanghai 

Sunbeauty certified that, since the 

initiation of the investigation, it has 

never been affiliated with any PRC 

exporter or producer who exported 

subject merchandise to the United 

States during the POI, including those 

respondents not individually examined 

during the investigation.5 As required 

by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), 

Shanghai Sunbeauty also certified that 

its export activities were not controlled 

by the government of the PRC.6

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Shanghai Sunbeauty 

submitted documentation establishing 

the following: (1) The date on which it 

first shipped subject merchandise for 

export to the United States; (2) the 

volume of its first shipment and 

subsequent shipments; and (3) the date 

of its first sale to an unaffiliated 

customer in the United States.7

Finally, the Department conducted a 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) database query and confirmed 

the price and quantity reported by 

Shanghai Sunbeauty.8

Initiation of New Shipper Review 

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

Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), and 19 CFR 

351.214(d)(1), and based on the 

evidence provided by Shanghai 

Sunbeauty, we find that its request 

meets the threshold requirements for 

initiation of the NSR for shipments of 

honey from the PRC produced by Xiping 

Haina Trade Co., Ltd. and exported by 

Shanghai Sunbeauty.9 The POR is 

December 01, 2014, through November 

30, 2015.10 If the information supplied 

by Shanghai Sunbeauty is found to be 

incorrect or insufficient during the 

course of this proceeding, the 

Department may rescind the review for 

Shanghai Sunbeauty or apply facts 

available pursuant to section 776 of the 

Act, depending on the facts on the 

record. 

Absent a determination that the new 

shipper review is extraordinarily 

complicated, the Department intends to 

issue the preliminary results of this NSR 

within 180 days from the date of 

initiation and the final results within 90 

days after the date on which the 

preliminary results are issued.11

It is the Department’s usual practice, 

in cases involving non-market 

economies (‘‘NMEs’’), to require that a 

company seeking to establish eligibility 

for an antidumping duty rate separate 

from the NME entity-wide rate provide 

evidence of de jure and de facto absence 

of government control over the 

company’s export activities. 

Accordingly, we will issue 

questionnaires to Shanghai Sunbeauty 

that will include a section requesting 

information concerning its eligibility for 

a separate rate. The NSR will proceed if 

the responses provide sufficient 

indication that Shanghai Sunbeauty is 

not subject to either de jure or de facto 

government control with respect to its 

exports of subject merchandise. 

We will instruct CBP to allow, at the 

option of the importer, the posting, until 

the completion of this review, of a bond 

or security in lieu of a cash deposit for 

each entry of the subject merchandise 

from the requesting companies in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). 

Because Shanghai Sunbeauty certified 

that its affiliate Xiping Haina Trade Co., 

Ltd. produced the subject merchandise 

which Shanghai Sunbeauty exported, 

the sales of which are the basis for the 

NSR request, we will instruct CBP to 

permit the use of a bond only for subject 

merchandise which Xiping Haina Trade 

Co., Ltd produced and Shanghai 

Sunbeauty exported. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this NSR 

should submit applications for 

disclosure under administrative 

protective order, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.305 and 19 CFR 351.306. 

This initiation and notice are in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of 

the Act, 19 CFR 351.214, and 19 CFR 

351.221(c)(1)(i).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 7, 2012, the Department 

of Commerce (‘‘Department’’) published 

the AD order on solar cells from the 

PRC.1 On December 30, 2015, pursuant 

to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), 

and 19 CFR 351.214(c), the Department 

received a timely request for a new 

shipper review from Anji DaSol Solar 

Energy Science & Technology Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Anji DaSol’’).2 On January 19, 2016, 

the Department received entry data from 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(‘‘CBP’’) related to Anji DaSol’s request 

for a new shipper review, and on 

January 21, 2016, we requested 

comments on the entry data from

interested parties.3 Because the 

Department has certain concerns with 

the CBP entry data, on January 21, 2016, 

we also issued a questionnaire to Anji 

DaSol in order to seek additional 

information with respect the data.4 The 

Department intends to address these, 

and any remaining issues, after 

initiation of this NSR.5 We intend to 

request entry documents from CBP in 

order to confirm certain information 

reported by Anji DaSol. The 

continuation of the new shipper review 

will be contingent upon confirmation of 

the information reported in the review 

request. 

Anji DaSol stated that it is the 

producer and exporter of the subject 

merchandise upon which its request for 

a new shipper review is based. Pursuant 

to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(I) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i), Anji DaSol 

certified that it did not export solar cells 

to the United States during the period 

of investigation (‘‘POI’’). In addition, 

pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(B)(i)(II) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(A), 

Anji DaSol certified that, since the 

initiation of the investigation, it has 

never been affiliated with any PRC 

exporter or producer who exported solar 

cells to the United States during the 

POI, including those not individually 

examined during the investigation. As 

required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(iii)(B), 

Anji DaSol also certified that its export 

activities were not controlled by the 

central government of the PRC.6

In addition to the certifications 

described above, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(b)(2)(iv), Anji DaSol submitted 

documentation establishing the 

following: (1) The date on which the 

subject merchandise was first entered, 

or withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption in the United States; (2) 

the volume of its first shipment; and (3) 

the date of its first sale to an unaffiliated 

customer in the United States.7

The Department conducted a CBP 

database query and confirmed by 

examining the results that the sale of 

subject merchandise that Anji DaSol 

reported to the Department entered the 

United States during the POR specified 

by the Department’s regulations.8

Period of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.214(g)(1)(i)(A), the POR for the new 

shipper review of Anji DaSol is 

December 1, 2014, through November 

30, 2015. 

Initiation of New Shipper Review 

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

Act, 19 CFR 351.214(b), and based on 

the information on the record, the 

Department finds that Anji DaSol meets 

the threshold requirements for initiation 

of a new shipper review of its shipment 

of solar cells from the PRC.9 However, 

if the information supplied by Anji 

DaSol is later found to be incorrect or 

insufficient during the course of this 

proceeding, the Department may rescind 

the review or apply facts available 

pursuant to section 776 of the Act, 

depending upon the facts on the record. 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i), 

the Department will publish the notice 

of initiation of a new shipper review no 

later than the last day of the month 

following the anniversary or semiannual 

anniversary month of the order. The 

Department intends to issue the 

preliminary results of this new shipper 

review no later than 180 days from the 

date of initiation, and the final results 

of this review no later than 90 days after 

the date the preliminary results are 

issued.10

It is the Department’s usual practice, 

in cases involving non-market 

economies (‘‘NME’’), to require that a 

company seeking to establish eligibility 

for an AD rate separate from the NMEwide entity rate provide evidence of de 

jure and de facto absence of government 

control over the company’s export 

activities. Accordingly, we will issue a 

questionnaire to Anji DaSol which will 

include a section requesting information 

with regard to its export activities for 

the purpose of establishing its eligibility 

for a separate rate. The new shipper 

review of Anji DaSol will proceed if the 

response provides sufficient indication 

that the exporter is not subject to either 

de jure or de facto government control 

with respect to its exports of solar cells. 

We will instruct CBP to allow, at the 

option of the importer, the posting, until 

the completion of the review, of a bond 

or security in lieu of a cash deposit for 

certain entries of the subject 

merchandise from Anji DaSol in 

accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B)(iii) 

of the Act and 19 CFR 351.214(e). 

Because Anji DaSol certified that it 

exports and produces the subject 

merchandise that is the subject of this 

new shipper review, we will instruct 

CBP to permit the use of a bond only for 

entries of subject merchandise which 

Anji DaSol exported and produced. 

Interested parties requiring access to 

proprietary information in this new 

shipper review should submit 

applications for disclosure under 

administrative protective order in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305 and 

351.306. 

This initiation and notice are 

published in accordance with section 

751(a)(2)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.214 and 351.221(c)(1)(i).
