Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to this order
is certain carbon and alloy steel hot-
rolled or forged flat plate products not
in coils, whether or not painted,
varnished, or coated with plastics or
other non-metallic substances (cut-to-
length plate). For a full description of
the scope, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in case briefs are
listed in the appendix to this notice and
are addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. The Issues and Decision
Memorandum is a public document and
is made available to the public via
Enforcement and Compliance’s
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Centralized Electronic Service System
(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to
registered users at https://
access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete
version of the Issues and Decision
Memorandum is available at http://
enforcement.trade.gov/frn/.
Bona Fides Analysis
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that TG Tools did not have a bona fide
sale of CTL plate during the POR. After
analyzing comments from interested
parties, we continue to find that TG
Tools did not have a bona fide sale of
CTL plate during the POR. We reached
this conclusion based on multiple
factors, including: (1) The low quantity
and high price of the sale; (2) atypical
timing of the sale; (3) the excessive
profit made by TG Tools’ importer on
the resale; and (4) other considerations,
such as the fact that TG Tools made
only a single sale of subject
merchandise during the POR, which
was a trial sale of a specialty product,
and TG Tools’ importer had not
previously purchased the subject
merchandise and made no subsequent
purchases of the specialty product or
any other subject merchandise. Our
analysis led us to conclude that TG
Tools’ single POR sale is not
representative of TG Tools’ typical
selling practices for subject
merchandise.
Because we have determined that TG
Tools had no bona fide sales during the
POR, we are rescinding this
administrative review.
Assessment Rate
Because Commerce is rescinding this
administrative review, we have not
calculated a company-specific dumping
margin for TG Tools. TG Tools remains
part of the China-wide entity and the
entry of its subject merchandise during
the POR will be assessed antidumping
duties at the China-wide entity rate. The
China-wide entity rate is 68.27 percent.
5
Consistent with its recent notice,
6
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP no earlier than 35
days after the date of publication of this
rescission notice in the Federal
Register. If a timely summons is filed at
the U.S. Court of International Trade,
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).
Cash Deposit Requirements
As noted above, Commerce is
rescinding this administrative review.
Thus, we have not calculated a
company-specific dumping margin for
TG Tools. Therefore, entries of TG
Tools’ subject merchandise continue to
be subject to the China-wide entity cash
deposit rate of 68.27 percent. This cash
deposit requirement shall remain in
effect until further notice.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (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.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
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 the POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement
could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties has occurred and
the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
final results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(1) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: January 19, 2021.
