                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 \4\ See Letter from the Petitioner, ``Re: Drawn Stainless Steel

                Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review,'' dated July 23,
                2020.
                 \5\ Commerce no longer considers the non-market economy entity
                as an exporter conditionally subject to administrative reviews. See
                Antidumping Proceedings; Announcement of Change in Department
                Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty Proceedings
                and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity in NME
                Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 3, 2013).
                ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                 The instant review will continue with respect to the following
                companies: Guangdong G-Top Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Jiangmen New
                Star Hi-Tech Enterprise Ltd.; Jiangmen Pioneer Import & Export Co.,
                Ltd.; KaiPing Dawn Plumbing Products, Inc.; Zhongshan Superte
                Kitchenware Co., Ltd.; and Zhuhai Kohler Kitchen & Bathroom Products
                Co., Ltd.
                Assessment
                 Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
                assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. For the companies
                for which this review is rescinded, antidumping duties shall be
                assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping
                duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
                consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce
                intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP 15
                days after the date of publication of this notice in the Federal
                Register.
                Notification to Importers
                 This notice serves as the only reminder to importers whose entries
                will be liquidated as a result of this rescission notice, of their
                responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
                regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or countervailing
                duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review
                period. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in the
                presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
                countervailing 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.
