**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:**
**Background**
This review covers 163 producers and/or exporters of the subject merchandise. Commerce selected two mandatory respondents for individual examination: LNSK Green House Agro Products LLP (LNSK) and Royal Imports and Exports (Royal).

On March 1, 2022, Commerce published the *Preliminary Results* and invited interested parties to comment. [^1] For a complete description of the events that occurred since the *Preliminary Results,* see the Issues and Decision Memorandum. [^2]

**Analysis of Comments Received**
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in Appendix I to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. 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 *https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.*
**Verification**
Commerce was unable to conduct on-site verification of the information relied upon for the final results of this review. However, we took additional steps in lieu of an on-site verification to verify this information, in accordance with section 782(i) of the Act. [^5]
[^5]*See* Commerce's Letters, In-Lieu of On-Site Verification Questionnaires, dated March 28, 2022; *see also* LNSK's Letter, “LNSK Green House Agro Products LLP Response to Questionnaire in lieu of Verification,” dated April 6, 2022; and Royal's Letter, “Royal Imports and Exports' Response to Questionnaire in lieu of Verification,” dated April 6, 2022.
**Changes Since the Preliminary Results**
Based on the comments received from interested parties, we made no changes to our margin calculations in the *Preliminary Results.*
**Final Results of the Review**
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-average dumping margins for the period February 1, 2020, through January 31, 2021:
| Exporter/producer | Weighted- |
| --- | --- |
| LNSK Green House Agro Products LLP | 0.00 |
| Royal Imports and Exports | 3.01 |
| Companies Not Selected for Individual Review | 3.01 |
**Review-Specific
Rate for Companies Not Selected for Individual Review**
[^6] Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally “an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted-average dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually examined, excluding any margins that are zero or de *minimis* margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts available}.” Because the margin calculated for LNSK is zero, we have assigned a dumping margin to these companies based on the rate calculated for Royal.
The exporters or producers not selected for individual review are listed in Appendix II.
**Assessment Rates**
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review.
Persuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because LNSK and Royal reported the entered value for their U.S. sales, we calculated importer-specific *ad valorem* duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of the sales for which entered value was reported. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or *de minimis* within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific rate is zero or *de minimis,* we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
Commerce's “automatic assessment” practice will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by LNSK or Royal for which the reviewed companies did not know that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary ( *e.g.,* a reseller, trading company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. [^7]
[^7] For a full discussion of this practice, *see Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,* 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
For the companies that were not selected for individual review, we assigned an assessment rate based on the review-specific rate, calculated as noted in the “Final Results of the Review” section, above. [^8] The final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable. [^9]
[^8]*See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017,* 83 FR 32835 (July 16, 2018).
[^9]*See* section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review 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**
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rates for the reviewed companies will be the rates shown above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent ( *de minimis* within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)), the cash deposit will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all-other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 10.17 percent, the all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation. [^10] These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
[^10]*See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order,* 70 FR 5147, 5148 (February 1, 2005).
**Notification to Importers**
This notice 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 this review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
**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), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. 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.
**Notification to Interested Parties**
This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.
Dated: June 29, 2022.
