---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, we found that Anhui Longhua Bamboo 
Product Co., Ltd., Benxi Wood Company, Guangzhou Homebon Timber 
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Brilliant Import & Export Co. Ltd., 
Pinge Timber Manufacturing (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., Power Dekor Group Co., 
Ltd., and Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd. had no shipments 
during the POR.\8\ Additionally, we found that Dalian Huade Wood 
Product Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd. did not have 
any qualifying shipments for the Department to review, due to their 
certification that their only POR shipments underwent review during 
their respective NSRs. We did not receive comments with respect to any 
of these companies. Thus, for these final results of review, we 
continue to find that those companies had no shipments during the POR. 
Consistent with our ``automatic assessment'' clarification, we will 
issue appropriate instructions with respect to these companies to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') based on our final results.\9\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by parties 
in the AR are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, which is 
hereby adopted by this notice. A list of the issues that parties raised 
and to which we responded in the Issues and Decision Memorandum follows 
as an 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 and in the Central Records Unit, room B8024 of 
the main Department of Commerce building. In addition, a complete 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly 
at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The paper copy and electronic 
version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

    Based on a review of the record and comments received from 
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made revisions 
to the margin calculations for Dajen and Senmao.\10\ These changes are 
discussed in the relevant sections of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum and company-specific analysis memoranda, as appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates and Partial Rescission

    In our Preliminary Results, we determined that eight separate rate 
applicant companies and 60 separate rate certifier companies 
demonstrated their eligibility for separate rate status.\11\ Subsequent 
to the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received comments 
from Baroque Timber Industries (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., Riverside Plywood 
Corporation, Samling Elegant Living Trading (Labuan) Limited, and 
Samling Riverside Co. Limited (collectively, the ``Samling Group'') 
noting that the Samling Group was recognized in the final results of 
the first administrative review to be excluded from the AD order on 
MLWF pursuant to court order.\12\ Samling Group further requested 
rescission of its administrative review for the second review period as 
its entries are not subject to the AD order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
    \12\ See Letter from Samling Group re: Samling Group Request for 
Correction of Preliminary Results (January 8, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department agrees that Samling Group and another company 
subject to this review, Zhejiang Layo Wood Industry Co., Ltd. (``Layo 
Wood''), have been excluded from the AD order on MLWF as a result of 
litigation.\13\ Further, both Samling Group and Layo Wood certified for 
this review that they did not export subject merchandise to the United 
States other than from the manufacturer/exporter combination 
specifically excluded from the order following the investigation, and 
the shipment data that we examined did not show U.S. entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR from other producer/exporter 
combinations.\14\ Therefore, we are rescinding the review with respect 
to the Samling Group and Layo Wood. No other changes have been made for 
the separate rate companies listed in the Preliminary Results.

Final Results of the New Shipper Review and AR

    Regarding the NSR Preliminary Results, no interested parties filed 
case briefs in response to the Department's invitation to comment on 
the NSR Preliminary Results. Therefore, because the record contains no 
other information or evidence that calls into question our NSR 
Preliminary Results, for these final results, the Department has made 
no changes to its calculations announced in the NSR Preliminary 
Results. Therefore, for the final results of the NSR, the Department 
continues to determine that the following weighted-average dumping 
margin exists for the POR from December 1, 2012, through November 30, 
2013:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Regarding the AR, we determine that the following weighted-average 
dumping margins exist for the POR from December 1, 2012, through 
November 30, 2013:

    \15\ The Initiation Notice (Initiation of Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Administrative Reviews and Request for 
Revocation in Part, 79 FR 6147 (February 3, 2014)) included Hangzhou 
Dazhuang Floor Co. (dba Dasso Industrial Group Co., Ltd.); however, 
Dasso Industrial Group Co., Ltd. (``Dasso'') certified in its March 
21, 2014 separate-rate certification that it no longer uses the name 
Hangzhou Dazhuang Floor Co., Ltd., and did not use that name during 
the POR. Therefore, the separate-rate status applies only to Dasso.

(September 30, 2014).
    \18\ The following companies were named in the Initiation Notice 
but did not submit a certification of no shipment, separate rate

Assessment Rates

    The Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. The 
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days 
after the publication date of these final results of this review. In 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are calculating importer- (or 
customer-) specific assessment rates for the merchandise subject to 
this review. For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-
average dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the 
Department will calculate importer- (or customer)-specific assessment 
rates for merchandise subject to this review. Where appropriate, we 
calculated an ad valorem rate for each importer (or customer) by 
dividing the total dumping margins for reviewed sales to that party by 
the total entered values associated with those transactions. For duty-
assessment rates calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess 
the resulting ad valorem rate against the entered customs values for 
the subject merchandise. Where appropriate, we calculated a per-unit 
rate for each importer (or customer) by dividing the total dumping 
margins for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales quantity 
associated with those transactions. For duty-assessment rates 
calculated on this basis, we will direct CBP to assess the resulting 
per-unit rate against the entered quantity of the subject 
merchandise.\19\ We will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on 
all appropriate entries covered by this review when the importer-
specific assessment rate is above de minimis. Where either the 
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or 
an importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate the

[[Page 41479]]

appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. For Anying, 
whose weighted average dumping margin is zero, the Department will 
instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to 
antidumping duties.\20\ We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries 
of subject merchandise exported by the PRC-wide entity at the PRC-wide 
rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumpin7g Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101, 8103 (February 14, 
2012).
    \20\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If the Department determines that an exporter under review had no 
shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered 
under that exporter's case number will be liquidated at the PRC-wide 
rate.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market 
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the companies not selected for individual examination, we will 
instruct CBP to apply the rate listed above to the entries of subject 
merchandise exported by such companies and entered during the period 
from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2013. This rate is the same 
as the rate for the one mandatory respondent with a weighted-average 
dumping margin that is above de minimis.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of these reviews for shipments of the 
subject merchandise from the PRC entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date in the Federal 
Register of the final results of review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act. First, with respect to Anying, the new shipper 
respondent, the Department established a combination cash deposit rate 
for this company, consistent with its practice, as follows: (1) For 
subject merchandise produced and exported by Anying, a zero cash 
deposit will be required; (2) for subject merchandise exported by 
Anying, but not produced by Anying, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate for the PRC-wide entity; (3) for subject merchandise produced by 
Anying, but not exported by Anying, the cash deposit rate will be the 
rate applicable to the exporter. For Dajen, Senmao, and the non-
examined, separate rate respondents, the cash deposit rate will be 
equal to their weighted-average dumping margins established in the 
final results of this review, except if the rate is zero or de minimis, 
then no cash deposit will be required. For Anhui Longhua Bamboo Product 
Co., Ltd., Benxi Wood Company, Guangzhou Homebon Timber Manufacturing 
Co., Ltd., Jiaxing Brilliant Import & Export Co. Ltd., Pinge Timber 
Manufacturing (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., Power Dekor Group Co., Ltd., and 
Shenyang Senwang Wooden Industry Co., Ltd., which claimed no shipments, 
the cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from their rate assigned in 
the most recently completed review of the company. Likewise, for Dalian 
Huade Wood Product Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co., Ltd., the 
cash deposit rate will remain unchanged from the rate assigned in the 
recently completed new shipper reviews of these companies. For 
previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not 
listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the most-recently 
established exporter-specific rate. For all PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled a separate rate, 
the cash deposit rate will be that for the PRC-wide entity established 
in the final determination of the less than fair value investigation 
(i.e., 58.84 percent). 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 exporter that supplied that non-PRC 
exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in 
effect until further notice.

Disclosure

    We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these AR 
final results within five days of the date of publication of this 
notice in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ Regarding the NSR, there are no calculations to disclose 
for these final results, as no changes have been made to our 
analysis subsequent to our NSR Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties

    This notice also 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 the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (``APO'')

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to 
APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of 
proprietary information disclosed under 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 terms of an APO is a violation which 
is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this AR, NSR, and notice in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1), 751(a)(2)(B), and 777(i) of the 
Act.

    Dated: July 8, 2015.
Lynn M. Fischer Fox,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy & Negotiation.
