Scope of the measure

The scope of the Order covers dry xanthan gum, whether or not coated or blended with other products. Further, xanthan gum is included in the Order regardless of physical form, including, but not limited to, solutions, slurries, dry powders of any particle size, or unground fiber. Merchandise covered by the scope of the Order is classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States at subheading 3913.90.20. Although this tariff classification is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope remains dispositive. For the full text of the scope of the Order, see the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum. Analysis of Comments Received All issues raised in Fufeng's case brief are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is hereby adopted by this notice. We have included a list of sections in the Issues and Decision Memorandum 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 at http://access.trade.gov . In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/inidex.html . Changes Since the Preliminary Results We corrected certain ministerial errors and made other changes to our preliminary dumping margin calculations. Amended Final Results of Review We are assigning the following calculated weighted-average dumping margin to the firm listed below for the period July 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017: Weighted- average Producer or exporter dumping margin (percent) Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. (a.k.a. Inner 0.00 Mongolia Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd.)/Shandong Fufeng Fermentation Co., Ltd./Xinjiang Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd Disclosure Commerce intends to disclose to the parties to the proceeding the calculations that it performed for these amended final results of review within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Assessment Rates Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we intend to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to liquidate POR entries of subject merchandise from Fufeng without regard to antidumping duties. For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Fufeng, but that were entered under Fufeng's case number (i.e., at Fufeng's cash deposit rate), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 154.07 percent). Consistent with its recent notice, Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these amended final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the CIT, 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). See Notice of Discontinuation of Policy to Issue Liquidation Instructions After 15 Days in Applicable Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative Proceedings, 86 FR 3995 (January 15, 2021). 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 these amended final results of this review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Fufeng, the cash deposit rate will be the weighted-average dumping margin percentage that is listed in the table above; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and non- China exporters not listed in the table above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all China 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, which is 154.07 percent; and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. The cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice. Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 reimbursemet of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
