Final Determination of No Shipments
We preliminarily found that Danyang City Ou Di Ma Tools Co., Ltd.,
Danyang Hantronic Import & Export Co., Ltd., Danyang Like Tools
Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Danyang Tsunda Diamond Tools Co., Ltd.,
Jiangsu Huachang Tools Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Inter-China
Group Corporation, Orient Gain International Limited, Qingdao Shinhan
Diamond Industrial Co., Ltd., and Sino Tools Co., Ltd., which have been
eligible for separate rates in previous segments of the proceeding and
are subject to this review, did not have any reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR.\4\ After the Preliminary Results,
we received no comments or additional information with respect to these
nine companies. Therefore, for the final results, we continue to find
that these nine companies did not have any reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with our practice, we
will issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) based on our final results.

Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries covered by this review.\9\ For all respondents
eligible for a separate rate, we will instruct CBP to apply an
antidumping duty assessment rate of 82.05 percent to all entries of
subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR.\10\
For all other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the antidumping
duty assessment rate of the China-wide entity, 82.05 percent, to all
entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.\11\ For the
nine companies that we determined had no reviewable entries of the
subject merchandise in this review period, any suspended entries that
entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's
rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date as
provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject
merchandise exported by the companies listed above that have separate
rates, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in these
final results of review for each exporter as listed above; (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters
not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the
exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate,
the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity; (4) for
all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese
exporter. These deposit requirements shall remain in effect until
further notice.
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 POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of
doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as the only 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). 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 subject
to sanction.
These final results of review are issued and published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: April 16, 2018.
