Final Results of the Review

    We are assigning the following weighted-average dumping margins to 
the firms listed below:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Weighted-
                                                              average
                    Producer/exporter                         dumping
                                                              margins
                                                             (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roung Shu Industry Corporation..........................            0.00
A-Madeus Textile Ltd....................................          137.20
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.212(b)(1), the Department has determined, and U.S. Customs and 
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries of subject merchandise and deposits of estimated 
duties, where applicable, 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.
    Pursuant to the Final Modification for Reviews,\6\ because Roung 
Shu's weighted-average dumping margin is zero, we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties,\7\ pursuant to 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2). For entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR produced by Roung Shu for which it did not 
know that the merchandise was destined for the United States, we will 
instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others rate if 
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the 
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted-
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 
Duty Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012) 
(Final Modification for Reviews).
    \7\ Id., 77 FR at 8102.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For A-Madeus, we will base the assessment rate, which was assigned 
as an adverse facts available rate,\8\ for the corresponding entries on 
the margin listed above. Additionally, because the Department 
determined that Xiamen Yi He and Fujian Rongshu had no shipments of 
subject merchandise during the POR, any suspended entries that entered 
under their name will be liquidated at the all-others rate effective 
during the period of review.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For a full discussion of the Department's determination to 
apply adverse facts available pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of 
the Act, see Issues and Decision Memorandum, at Comment 1. See also 
Preliminary Results, 81 FR at 71058, and accompanying Prelminary 
Determination Memorandum, at 14-18.

and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping 
Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication, as 
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates 
for Roung Shu and A-Madeus will be equal to the dumping margins 
established in the final results of this administrative review (except, 
if the rate is zero or de minimis, a zero cash deposit rate will be 
required for that company); (2) for merchandise exported by 
manufacturers or exporters not covered in this administrative review 
but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate 
will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most 
recently-completed segment; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered 
in this review, a prior review, or the original less-than-fair-value 
(LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate 
will be the rate established for the most recently-completed segment of 
this proceeding for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the 
cash deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will 
continue to be 4.37 percent, the all-others rate determined in the LTFV 
investigation.\10\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed,

[[Page 18434]]

shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ See Orders, 75 FR at 56985.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    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 review period. Failure to comply with this 
requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order

    This notice serves as the only 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.
    This notice is published in accordance with section 751(a)(1) and 
777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: April 12, 2017.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
