Entity in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 

FR 65963, 65969–70 (November 4, 2013). 

8The rate for the PRC-wide entity was originally 

set in the original investigation, see Certain Steel 

Threaded Rod from the People’s Republic of China: 

Final Determination of Sales at Less than Fair 

Value, 74 FR 8907 (February 27, 2009). This rate 

has been applied in each subsequent administrative 

review in which there was a party being considered 

as part of the PRC-wide entity.

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011) (Reseller Policy). 

2017, the petitioner submitted case 

briefs.2 On June 16, 2017 the 

Department released draft U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) 

instructions.3 On June 21, 2017, RMB/ 

IFI and Tianjin Star submitted rebuttal 

briefs.4 On September 1, 2017, the 

Department extended the deadline for 

the final results to November 1, 2017.5

We note that no party submitted 

comments on the Department’s 

preliminary determination to treat 

Zhejiang New Oriental Fastener Co., 

Ltd. (New Oriental), Zhejiang Heiter 

Industries Co., Ltd. (Heiter Industries), 

and Zhejiang Heiter Mfg. & Trade Co. 

Ltd. (Heiter Mfg. as part of the PRC-wide 

entity. Therefore, for these final results, 

we continue to find that New Oriental, 

Heiter Industries, and Heiter Mfg. are 

part of the PRC-wide entity. We also 

note that no party submitted comments 

on the draft CBP instructions. 

The Department conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by the order 

includes steel threaded rod. The subject 

merchandise is currently classifiable 

under subheading 7318.15.5051, 

7318.15.5056, 7318.15.5090, and 

7318.15.2095 of the United States 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, our written description of the 

scope of the order, which is contained 

in the accompanying Issues and 

Decision Memorandum (I&D Memo), is 

dispositive.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs by parties in this 

review in the I&D Memo dated 

concurrently with, and hereby adopted 

by, this notice. A list of the issues which 

parties raised is attached in the 

Appendix to this notice. The I&D Memo 

is a public document and is on file in 

the Central Records Unit (CRU), Room 

B8024 of the main Department of 

Commerce building, as well as 

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 and in the 

CRU. In addition, a complete version of 

the I&D Memo can be accessed directly 

on the internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed I&D Memo and the 

electronic versions of the I&D Memo are 

identical in content. 

Final Results 

The final weighted-average dumping 

margins are as follows: 

Exporter/producer 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

RMB Fasteners Ltd. and IFI & 

Morgan Ltd. (RMB/IFI) ............ 0.00 

Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone 

Tianjin Star International 

Trade Co., Ltd ......................... 5.40 

Because no party requested a review 

of the PRC-wide entity, and the 

Department no longer considers the 

PRC-wide entity as an exporter 

conditionally subject to administrative 

reviews,7 we did not conduct a review 

of the PRC-wide entity. Thus, the 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the PRC-wide entity (i.e., 206.00 

percent) 8 is not subject to change as a 

result of this review. 

Assessment Rates 

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

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the 

Department 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. The 

Department intends to issue appropriate 

assessment instructions directly to CBP 

15 days after publication of the final 

results of this administrative review. 

Where the respondent reported 

reliable entered values, we calculated 

importer (or customer)-specific ad 

valorem rates by aggregating the 

dumping margins calculated for all U.S. 

sales to each importer (or customer) and 

dividing this amount by the total 

entered value of the sales to each 

importer (or customer).9 Where the 

Department calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the 

total amount of dumping for reviewed 

sales to that party by the total sales 

quantity associated with those 

transactions, the Department will direct 

CBP to assess importer-specific 

assessment rates based on the resulting 

per-unit rates.10 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is greater than de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to collect 

the appropriate duties at the time of 

liquidation.11 Where an importer- (or 

customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate appropriate entries without 

regard to antidumping duties.12

Pursuant to the Department’s 

assessment practice, for entries that 

were not reported in the U.S. sales data 

submitted by companies individually 

examined during this review, the 

Department will instruct CBP to 

liquidate such entries at the rate for the 

PRC-wide entity.13

For the one suspended AD/CVD entry 

for which RMB/IFI had knowledge of 

sale in the United States, the 

Department will direct CBP to liquidate 

that entry without regard to 

antidumping duties. For all other entries 

claiming RMB/IFI as the exporter or 

producer, the Department will direct 

CBP to liquidate such entries and to 

assess antidumping duties pursuant to 

the Reseller Policy, i.e., at the rate for 

the PRC-wide entity. For all suspended 

AD/CVD entries by Tianjin Star, the 

Department will direct CBP to liquidate 

such entries and to assess antidumping 

duties at the rate identified in the Final 

Results section above.

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of the subject merchandise from the PRC 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided for by 

section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For 

the exporters listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be the rate established 

in the final results of review (except, if 

the rate is zero or de minimis, i.e., less 

than 0.5 percent, a zero cash deposit 

rate will be required for that company); 

(2) for previously investigated or 

reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters 

not listed above that have separate rates, 

the cash deposit rate will continue to be 

the exporter-specific rate published for 

the most recent period; (3) for all PRC 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be the PRC-Wide rate of 206 percent; 

and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of 

subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

PRC exporters that supplied that nonPRC exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Disclosure 

Normally, the Department discloses to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with the final 

results within five days of its public 

announcement, or if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). 

However, because the Department has 

not calculated a weighted-average 

dumping margin for either of the 

mandatory respondents, there are no 

calculations to disclose. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also 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 

Department’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 administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under the 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 violation subject to sanction. 

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 and 19 

CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5).
