DATES: Applicable [INSERT DATE OF PUBLICATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER]. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Flessner, AD/CVD Operations, Office VI, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20230; telephone: (202) 482- 6312. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background In accordance with sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), on April 7, 2020, Commerce published its affirmative final determination in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation of ceramic tile from China.1 In addition, Commerce made an affirmative determination of critical circumstances, in part, 1 See Ceramic Tile from the People’s Republic of China: Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and Final Partial Affirmative Critical Circumstances Determination, 85 FR 19425 (April 7, 2020) (Final Determination). pursuant to section 735(a)(3) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.206.2 On May 21, 2020, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, by reason of the LTFV imports of ceramic tile from China.3 Further, the ITC determined that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to imports of ceramic tile from China. Scope of the Order The products covered by this order are ceramic tile from China. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On May 21, 2020, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of the LTFV imports of ceramic tile from China.4 Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of ceramic tile from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds 2 Id. 3 See Letter to Jeffrey Kessler, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Enforcement and Compliance, from David S. Johanson, Chairman of the U.S. International Trade Commission, dated May 21, 2020. 4 Id. 2 the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of ceramic tile from China. Antidumping duties will be adjusted for export subsidies found in the final determination of the companion countervailing duty investigation.5 Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of ceramic tile from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 14, 2019, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination,6 but will not include entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication in the Federal Register of the ITC’s final injury determination under section 735(b) of the Act, as further described below. Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, we will instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of ceramic tile from China as described in the appendix to this notice, effective on the date of publication of the ITC’s final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of the Act, antidumping duties for each entry of the subject merchandise equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price or constructed export price of the merchandise, adjusted by the amount of export subsidies, where appropriate. We will also instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the rates noted below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. The China-wide entity rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed below. 5 See Final Determination, 85 FR at 19433. 6 See Ceramic Tile from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Preliminary Negative Critical Circumstances Determination, and Postponement of Final Determination, 84 FR 61877 (November 14, 2019) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum (PDM); see also Ceramic Tile from the People’s Republic of China: Notice of Correction to the Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 84 FR 68114 (December 13, 2019). 3 Estimated Cash Deposit Weighted- Rate Exporter Producer Average (Adjusted for Dumping Subsidy Margin Offsets) (percent) (percent) Anatolia Tile & Stone Inc.
