Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs that were
submitted by parties in this investigation are addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues
and Decision Memorandum is attached to this notice at Appendix II. 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 https://access.trade.gov. In
addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can
be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed
and the electronic versions of the Issues and Decision Memorandum are
identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Determination
Based on our review and analysis of the comments received from
parties, we made certain changes to our calculations of the dumping
margins for Huaxing and Qixia Changyu. As a result of these changes,
the dumping margin for separate rate companies has also changed. For a
discussion of these changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Verification
Commerce normally verifies information relied upon in making its
final determination, pursuant to section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act). However, during the course of this
investigation, a Level 4 travel advisory was imposed for all of China,
preventing Commerce personnel from traveling to China to conduct
verification. Due to this, as well as the impending statutory deadline
for the completion of the final determination, Commerce was unable to
conduct verifications in this case. Therefore, on June 19, 2020,
Commerce cancelled its verifications of the information submitted by
the mandatory respondents Guangdong Huaxing Glass Co., Ltd. (Huaxing)
and Qixia Changyu Glass Co., Ltd. (Qixia Changyu).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Cancellation of Verification,'' dated June
19, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to section 776(a)(2)(D) of the Act, in situations where
information has been provided but the information cannot be verified,
Commerce may use ``facts otherwise available'' in reaching the
applicable determination. Since we were unable to conduct verifications
in this investigation, as facts available we relied upon the record
information used in reaching our preliminary determination in reaching
our final determination.
China-Wide Entity and Use of Adverse Facts Available
We continue to find that the use of facts available is warranted in
determining the rate of the China-wide entity pursuant to sections
776(a)(1) and (a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act. Further, use of adverse facts
available (AFA) is warranted because the China-wide entity did not
cooperate to the best of its ability to comply with our requests for
information and, accordingly, we applied adverse inferences in
selecting from the facts available, pursuant to section 776(b) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.308(a). As AFA, we are assigning the China-wide
entity a dumping margin of 255.68 percent, which is the highest
petition rate.
Separate Rates
In addition to the mandatory respondents Huaxing and Qixia Changyu,
we have continued to grant certain non-individually examined
respondents a separate rate. Also, we have continued to deny certain
respondents a separate rate. See the Issues and Decision memorandum for
details.
In calculating the rate for non-individually examined separate rate
respondents in a non-market economy AD investigation, Commerce normally
looks to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, which pertains to the
calculation of the all-others rate in a market economy AD
investigation. Pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, normally
this rate shall be an amount equal to the weighted average of the
estimated antidumping duty (AD) rates established for those companies
individually examined, excluding zero and de minimis rates and any
rates based entirely under section 776 of the Act. Pursuant to the
guidance in section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, we based the separate rate
respondents' dumping margin on the dumping margins that we calculated
for the mandatory respondents Huaxing and Qixia Changyu. See the table
in the ``Final Determination'' section of this notice.
Combination Rates
Consistent with the Preliminary Determination and Policy Bulletin
05.1, we calculated combination rates for the respondents that are
eligible for a separate rate.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Preliminary Determination; and Enforcement and
Compliance's Policy Bulletin No. 05.1, regarding, ``Separate-Rates
Practice and Application of Combination Rates in Antidumping
Investigations involving Non-Market Economy Countries,'' dated April
4, 2005 (Policy Bulletin 05.1), available on Commerce's website at
http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist:

Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose its calculations and analysis
performed to interested parties in this final determination within five
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to continue to
suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of certain glass
containers from China, as described in the scope in Appendix I of this
notice, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or
after April 29, 2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determination notice in the Federal Register.
Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of the Act, upon the
publication of this notice, Commerce will instruct CBP to require a
cash deposit equal to the weighted-average amount by which the normal
value exceeds U.S. price as follows: (1) The cash deposit rate for the
exporter/producer combinations listed in the table above will be the
rate identified in the table; (2) for all combinations of Chinese
exporters/producers of subject merchandise that have not received their
own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate
established for the China-wide entity; and (3) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the cash deposit rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter/producer combination that supplied
that non-Chinese exporter. These suspension of liquidation instructions
will remain in effect until further notice.
Although Commerce normally adjusts the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins by the amount of domestic subsidy pass-through and
export subsidies determined in a companion countervailing duty (CVD)
proceeding when CVD provisional measures are in effect, in this case,
the International Trade Commission (ITC) reached a negative
determination in the companion CVD proceeding.\7\ Therefore, we have
not adjusted the final cash deposit rates listed in the table above for
domestic subsidy pass-through or export subsidies.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
International Trade Commission Notification
In accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, Commerce will notify
the ITC of its final affirmative determination of sales at LTFV.
Commerce will allow the ITC access to all privileged and business
proprietary information in our files, provided the ITC confirms that it
will not disclose such information, either publicly or under an
administrative protective order (APO), without the written consent of
the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance. Because
Commerce's final determination is affirmative, in accordance with
section 735(b)(2) of the Act, the ITC will make its final determination
as to whether the domestic industry in the United States is materially
injured, or threatened with
[[Page 58338]]
material injury, by reason of imports or sales (or the likelihood of
sales) for importation of certain glass containers from China no later
than 45 days after this final determination. If the ITC determines that
such injury does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated, and all
cash deposits posted will be refunded. If the ITC determines that such
injury does exist, Commerce will issue an AD order directing CBP to
assess, upon further instructions by Commerce, antidumping duties on
all imports of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the effective date of the
suspension of liquidation, as discussed above in the ``Continuation of
Suspension of Liquidation'' section of this notice.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders
This notice will serve as a final reminder to the parties subject
to an APO of their responsibility concerning the disposition of
proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR
351.305. Timely written notification of return or 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 735(d) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(c).
Dated: September 11, 2020.
Jeffrey I. Kessler,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
