Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks From the People's Republic of China:
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2018-2019
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that the two
mandatory respondents, Guangdong New Shichu Import and Export Company
Limited (New Shichu) and KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.
(KaiPing), have not established their eligibility for a separate rate
and are part of the China-wide entity. We also continue to assign the
China-wide rate to an additional nine companies, because we determine
that they are not eligible for a separate rate. Finally, we continue to
grant a separate rate to Jiangmen New Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd. (New
Star), which demonstrated eligibility for separate rate status but was
not selected for individual examination. The period of review (POR) is
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.
DATES: Applicable February 27, 2020.

published the Preliminary Results.\1\ Although we invited parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results,\2\ no interested party submitted

Register notice. Commerce conducted this administrative review in
accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the
Act).

Scope of the Order
The products covered by the order include drawn stainless steel
sinks. Imports of subject merchandise are currently classified under
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7324.10.0000 and 7324.10.0010. Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description
of the scope of the order is dispositive.\3\

Final Results of Review and Final Determination of No Shipments
We made no changes from the Preliminary Results. Therefore, as a
result of this review, we determine that the two mandatory respondents,
New Shichu and KaiPing, have not established their eligibility for a
separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity. We also determine
that, because the following companies did not submit separate rate
applications or certifications, they are ineligible for a separate rate
and are part of the China-wide entity: B&R Industries Limited (B&R);
Feidong Import and Export Co. Ltd. (Feidong); Guangdong G-Top Import &
Export Co., Ltd. (G-Top); Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co., Ltd.
(Pioneer); Ningbo Afa Kitchen and Bath Co., Ltd. (Ningbo Afa); Xinhe
Stainless Steel Products Co., Ltd. (Xinhe); Yuyao Afa Kitchenware Co.,
Ltd. (Yuyao Afa); and Zhongshan Superte Kitchenware Co., Ltd.
(Superte). We also determine that, because Zhuhai Kohler Kitchen &
Bathroom Products Co. Ltd. (Kohler) failed to respond to Commerce's
supplemental separate rate questionnaire, this company is ineligible
for a separate rate and is part of the China-wide entity. Finally, we
continue to grant a separate rate to New Star, which demonstrated
eligibility for separate rate status, but was not selected for
individual examination.\4\ We determine that the dumping margin for New
Star for the period April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019 is as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ We assigned New Star the most recently assigned separate
rate in this proceeding (i.e., 1.78 percent). See Drawn Stainless
Steel Sinks from the People's Republic of China: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2017-2018, 84 FR 38211

Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b).
Because we determined that the following companies were not eligible
for a separate rate and are part of the China-wide entity, we will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 76.45 percent to
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR that were produced
and/or exported by: B&R; Feidong; G-Top; KaiPing; Kohler; New Shichu;
Ningbo Afa; Pioneer; Superte; Xinhe; and Yuyao Afa. We will instruct
CBP to apply an assessment rate to all entries of merchandise produced
and/or exported by New Star equal to the dumping margin indicated
above. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of 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) For the company listed above that has a separate rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate established in these final results
of review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-
Chinese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be equal to the exporter-specific
weighted-average dumping margin published of the most recently-
completed segment of this proceeding; (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 for China-wide
entity, 76.45 percent; and (4) for all exporters of subject merchandise
which are not located in China and which are not eligible for a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a 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 Commerce's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a 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). 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 this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h) and
351.221(b)(5).
Dated: February 20, 2020.
