Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled
Into Modules, From the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Results
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial Rescission of
Antidumping Administrative Review, and Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments; 2021-2022
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily
determines that Shenzhen Sungold Solar Co., Ltd. (Sungold), and the
companies which Commerce preliminarily granted separate rates, did not
sell subject merchandise at prices below normal value (NV) during the
period December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2022, the period of
review (POR). Commerce also preliminarily determines that certain
companies do not qualify for a separate rate, and that it is
appropriate to rescind this review with respect to 10 companies because
all requests to review these companies were timely withdrawn. In
addition, Commerce intends to rescind this review with respect to
certain companies that did not ship subject merchandise during the POR.
Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results
of the review.
DATES: Applicable January 4, 2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In response to review requests from multiple parties, on February
2, 2023, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not
assembled into modules (solar cells), from the People's Republic of
China (China) with respect to 68 companies/company groupings for the
period December 1, 2021, through November 30, 2022.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Administrative Reviews, 88 FR 7060, 7062-63 (February 2, 2023).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On April 20, 2023, Commerce selected two exporters to individually
examine as mandatory respondents, Yingli \2\ and Shenzhen Glory
Industries Co., Ltd. (Shenzhen Glory).\3\ Shenzhen Glory timely
withdrew its request for review, and no other party requested a
[[Page 458]]
review of Shenzhen Glory.\4\ Therefore, Commerce selected Sungold as an
additional mandatory respondent on May 1, 2023.\5\ On September 8,
2023, Commerce also selected Anji DaSol Solar Energy Science &
Technology Co., Ltd. (Anji DaSol) as a mandatory respondent.\6\
However, Anji DaSol declined to participate in this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Yingli refers to the following companies which Commerce has
treated as a single entity: (1) Shenzhen Yingli New Energy Resources
Co., Ltd.; (2) Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co. Ltd.;
(3) Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (4)
Beijing Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (5) Hainan
Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (6) Hengshui Yingli New
Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; (7) Lixian Yingli New Energy Resources
Co., Ltd.; (8) Tianjin Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.; and
(9) Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited.
\3\ See Memorandum, ``Respondent Selection,'' dated April 20,
2023.
\4\ See Shenzhen Glory's Letter, ``Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review,'' dated April 21, 2023.
\5\ See Memorandum, ``Respondent Selection,'' dated May 1, 2023.
\6\ See Memorandum, ``Respondent Selection,'' dated September 8,
2023.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 30, 2023, Commerce extended the time limit for issuing
the preliminary result of this review until December 29, 2023.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Extension of Deadline for Preliminary
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review,'' dated August
30, 2023.

For details regarding the events that occurred subsequent to the
initiation of the review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary
Results of the 2021-2022 Administrative Review of the Antidumping
Duty Order on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or not
Assembled into Modules, from the People's Republic of China,'' dated
concurrently with, and hereby adopted by, this notice (Preliminary
Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order 9
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not
Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China: Amended
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, and
Antidumping Duty Order, 77 FR 73018 (December 7, 2012) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The merchandise covered by the Order is crystalline silicon
photovoltaic cells, and modules, laminates, and panels, consisting of
crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not partially or
fully assembled into other products, including, but not limited to,
modules, laminates, panels and building integrated materials.\10\
Merchandise covered by this Order is currently classified under
subheadings 8501.71.0000, 8501.72.1000, 8501.72.2000, 8501.72.3000,
8501.72.9000, 8501.80.1000, 8501.80.2000, 8501.80.3000, 8501.80.9000,

8541.42.0010, and 8541.43.0010 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS).\11\ Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided
for convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the
scope of the Order is dispositive.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ For a complete description of the scope of the order, see
Issues Decision Memorandum.
\11\ During the POR, solar cells and modules were primarily
classified under HTSUS subheadings 8541.40.6015 and 8541.40.6025.
These two categories were updated to USHTS subheadings 8541.42.0010
and 8541.43.0010 in 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an
administrative review, in whole or in part, if all parties that
requested the review withdraw their requests within 90 days of the date
of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. All
parties timely withdrew their requests for an administrative review,
and thus, Commerce is rescinding its review of the following companies:
(1) Jinko Solar Technology Sdn. Bhd.; (2) Jinko Solar (Malaysia) Sdn.
Bhd.; (3) Jinkosolar Middle East DMCC; (4) Shenzhen Glory; (5) Boviet
Solar Technology Co., Ltd.; (6) CSI Solar Power Group Co., Ltd.; (7)
New East Solar Energy Cambodia Co., Ltd.; (8) Vina Cell Technology
Company Limited; (9) Vina Solar Technology Company Limited; and (10)
Canadian Solar Manufacturing, Inc.
Intent To Rescind Administrative Review in Part
Based on record evidence obtained from U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP), we preliminarily determine that there are no
suspended entries during the POR for the companies listed in Appendix
II, all of which have existing separate rates.\12\ In the absence of
any suspended entries of subject merchandise from these companies
during the POR, Commerce intends to rescind its review of these
companies in the final results of this review.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce also intends to rescind this review with respect to Red
Sun Energy Long An Company Limited. See the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum for details.
Companies Not Reviewed
Based on record evidence obtained from CBP, we preliminarily
determine that there are no suspended entries during the POR for the
companies listed in Appendix III, all of which currently do not have a
separate rate.\13\ In the absence of any suspended entries of subject
merchandise from these companies during the POR, and based on the fact
that these companies do not have a separate rate and are part of the
China-wide entity, which is not under review as no parties requested a
review of the entity, we are not conducting a review of these
companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary Determination of No Shipments
Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science and Technology Co., Ltd. (Trina
Solar Changzhou) and Jinko Solar,\14\ claimed that they did not ship
subject merchandise during the POR. However, entry data obtained from
CBP appear to contradict those claims.\15\ Additionally, the American
Alliance for Solar Manufacturing (the petitioner) placed Datamyne data
on the record which it claims shows that Jinko Solar may have shipped
subject merchandise during the POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ Jinko Solar refers to the following companies which
Commerce has previously treated as a single entity: Jinko Solar
Import and Export Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Jinko Solar
Technology (Haining) Co., Ltd.; Yuhuan Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.;
Zhejiang Jinko Solar Co., Ltd.; Jiangsu Jinko Tiansheng Solar Co.,
Ltd. ; JinkoSolar (Chuzhou) Co., Ltd.; JinkoSolar (Yiwu) Co., Ltd.;
and JinkoSolar (Shangrao) Co., Ltd.
\15\ See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After analyzing the information on the record, we preliminarily
determine that there is no evidence that Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko
Solar failed to properly report entries of their subject
merchandise.\16\ If our determination remains unchanged in the final
results of this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
subject merchandise during the POR that were recorded under the
company-specific case numbers for Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko Solar
at the China-wide rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application of Facts Available With Adverse Inferences
Sungold's solar cell suppliers failed to provide factors of
production (FOP) data for use in calculating the weighted-average
dumping margin of Sungold. Because the solar cells suppliers are
interested parties, and they declined to provide requested information,
that information is not on the record. Consequently, we have
preliminarily applied partial facts available with adverse inferences
in place of the missing FOP data, pursuant to sections 776(a)(1),
(2)(A)-(C), and 776(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
For details regarding this preliminary determination, see the
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
Separate Rates
We have preliminarily determined that the companies listed in the
table in the ``Preliminary Results of Review'' section of this notice
below demonstrated that they qualified for a separate rate but the
companies listed in Appendix IV have not done so. Consequently, we have
preliminarily
[[Page 459]]
treated the companies listed in Appendix IV as part of the China-wide
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity,
the entity's dumping margin is 238.95 percent \17\ and not subject to
change.\18\ For additional information regarding Commerce's preliminary
separate rate determinations, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ The China-wide entity rate was last changed in the first
administrative review of this proceeding and has been the applicable
rate for the entity in each subsequent review, including the most
recently completed review. See Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic
Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's
Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Final Determination of No Shipments; 2012-2013, 80 FR

Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dumping Margins for Separate Rate Companies
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address what dumping
margin to apply to respondents that are not selected for individual
examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2)
of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act,
which provides instructions for calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when calculating the dumping margin for
respondents that are not individually examined in an administrative
review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is
normally ``equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted
average dumping margins established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis dumping
margins, and any dumping margins determined entirely {on the basis of
facts available{time} .'' When the weighted-average dumping margins
established for all individually examined respondents are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts available, section 735(c)(5)(B) of
the Act permits Commerce to ``use any reasonable method to establish
the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not
individually investigated, including averaging the estimated weighted
average dumping margins determined for the exporters and producers
individually investigated.'' Consistent with Commerce's practice,\19\
we preliminarily determine that a reasonable method would be to assign
a dumping margin to the non-individually examined separate rate
companies equal to the zero percent preliminary dumping margin
calculated for Sungold. For additional information,see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.

67674 (November 9, 2022), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at Comment 5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this administrative review in accordance
with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Act. In determining Sungold's dumping
margin, we calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of
the Act. Because Commerce previously determined that China is a non-
market economy country,\20\ within the meaning of section 771(18) of
the Act, we calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c)
of the Act.

in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Public Comment
Interested parties may submit case briefs to Commerce no later than
30 days after the date of publication of these preliminary results of
review in the Federal Register.\21\ Interested parties may file
rebuttal briefs, that are limited to the issues raised in case briefs,
not later than five days after the
[[Page 460]]
date for filing case briefs.\22\ Interested parties who submit case or
rebuttal briefs must submit: (1) a table of contents listing each issue
discussed in the brief; and (2) a table of authorities.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\21\ See 19 CFR 351.309(c)(ii).
\22\ See 19 CFR 351.309(d); see also Administrative Protective
Order, Service, and Other Procedures in Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings, 88 FR 67069, 67077 (September 29,
2023) (APO and Final Service Rule).
\23\ See 19 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\24\ Further,
we request that interested parties limit their executive summary of
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the executive summaries as the basis of the comment
summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that will
accompany the final results in this administrative review. We request
that interested parties include footnotes for relevant citations in the
executive summary of each issue. Note that Commerce has amended certain
of its requirements pertaining to the service of documents in 19 CFR
351.303(f).\25\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\24\ We use the term ``issue'' here to describe an argument that
Commerce would normally address in a comment of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
\25\ See APO and Final Service Rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal
briefs, must submit a written request for a hearing to the Assistant
Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce,
filed electronically via ACCESS, within 30 days after the date of
publication of this notice in the Federal Register. Requests for a
hearing should contain: (1) the requesting party's name, address, and
telephone number; (2) the number of individuals associated with the
requesting party that will attend the hearing and whether any of those
individuals is a foreign national; and (3) a list of the issues the
party intends to discuss at the hearing. If a request for a hearing is
made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be
determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and
location of the hearing two days before the scheduled hearing date.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results of review in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce will
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.\26\ Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date
of publication of the notice 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\26\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the Weighted
Average Dumping Margin and Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping
Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 (February 14, 2012)
(Final Modification).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where a respondent's weighted average dumping margin is zero
percent or de minimis, or an importer/customer-specific ad valorem
assessment rate is zero percent or de minimis, Commerce's practice is
to instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to
dumping duties.\27\ Thus, if Commerce continues to calculate a
weighted-average dumping margin of zero percent for Sungold in the
final results of this review, it will instruct CBP to liquidate entries
of Sungold's subject merchandise during the POR without regard to
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\27\ See Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from the People's Republic
of China: Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2014-2015, 81
FR 29528 (May 12, 2016), and accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum at 10-11, unchanged in Drawn Stainless Steel Sinks from
the People's Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review; Final Determination of No Shipments; 2014-
2015, 81 FR 54042 (August 15, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, if Sungold's final weighted-average dumping margin is not
zero percent or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce
intends to calculate importer/customer-specific assessment rates \28\
by dividing the total amount of dumping for reviewed sales to the
importer/customer by the total quantity of those sales. Commerce will
calculate an estimated ad valorem importer/customer-specific assessment
rate to determine whether the per-unit assessment rate is de minimis;
however, it will instruct CBP to apply the per-unit assessment
rate.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\28\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\29\ See Final Modification, 77 FR 8103.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce will base the assessment rate of the respondents that were
not selected for individual examination that qualify for a separate
rate on the weighted-average dumping margin that it calculates for
Sungold in the final results of this review.\30\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\30\ See NME Assessment of Dumping Duties, for a full discussion
of this practice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to a refinement of its practice, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate entries of Sungold's subject merchandise for which
sales were not reported in the U.S. sales database at the dumping
margin assigned to the China-wide entity.\31\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\31\ See Solar Cells from China AR1 Final, 80 FR 41002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries of
subject merchandise during the POR that were recorded under the
company-specific case numbers for Trina Solar Changzhou or Jinko Solar
at the China-wide rate.
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be in effect for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on, or after, the date of publication of the notice of
the final results of this administrative review in the Federal
Register, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for
the exporters listed in the table in the ``Preliminary Results of
Review'' section of this notice above, the cash deposit rate will be
equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final
results of this review for the exporter (except, if the dumping margin
is de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), then the cash deposit rate
will be zero for that exporter); (2) for previously investigated or
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters that are not listed in the
rate table in the final results of review that have separate rates, the
cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter's existing cash
deposit rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that
do not have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margin assigned to the China-wide entity,
which is 238.95 percent, and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject
merchandise that do not have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin applicable to the
China
[[Page 461]]
exporter(s) that supplied that non-China exporter. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a preliminary reminder to importers 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 POR.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties and/or
countervailing duties has occurred, and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the amount of
antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results of review
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
