2020-25682. Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Initiation and Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Changed Circumstances Review

AGENCY:

Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Commerce (Commerce) is simultaneously initiating and issuing the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review (CCR) of the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof (diamond sawblades) from the People's Republic of China (China) to determine whether Protech Diamond Tools Inc. (Protech) is eligible to participate in a certification process because Protech has demonstrated that it can identify diamond sawblades that it produced in Canada using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments. We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.

DATES:

Applicable November 20, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 20, 2020, Commerce found “that diamond sawblades made with Chinese cores and Chinese segments joined in Canada by Protech and then subsequently exported from Canada to the United States are circumventing the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China.” ^[1] In the Final Determination, Commerce found that diamond sawblades “assembled or completed in Canada using non-Chinese origin cores and/or non-Chinese origin segments are not subject to this anti-circumvention inquiry,” but because Protech was unable “to identify diamond sawblades produced with non-Chinese origin cores and/or non-Chinese origin segments,” Commerce decided not to “implement a certification process for diamond sawblades already suspended,” and required “cash deposits on all entries of diamond sawblades produced and exported by Protech in Canada.” ^[2] However, Commerce indicated that Protech could at some future point request reconsideration of Commerce's denial of the certification process in, e.g., a CCR.^[3]

On August 19, 2020, Protech submitted a request for a CCR, in which Protech claims that it is able to identify and segregate diamond sawblades made with non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments joined in Canada by Protech and then subsequently exported from Canada by Protech, its affiliate Gogo International Inc. (Gogo), or a third party, to the United States.^[4] Protech requests that Commerce find it eligible for certification of these diamond sawblades as non-subject merchandise. On August 26, 2020, Diamond Sawblades Manufacturers' Coalition (DSMC) submitted a letter supporting the CCR Request.^[5] In response to our request for additional information, Protech submitted its supplemental responses on September 15, 2020,^[6] and October 1, 2020.^[7]

Scope of the Order

The products covered by the order are all finished circular sawblades, whether slotted or not, with a working part that is comprised of a diamond segment or segments, and parts thereof, regardless of specification or size, except as specifically excluded below. Within the scope of the order are semi-finished diamond sawblades, including diamond sawblade cores and diamond sawblade segments. Diamond sawblade cores are circular steel plates, whether or not attached to non-steel plates, with slots. Diamond sawblade cores are manufactured principally, but not exclusively, from alloy steel. A diamond sawblade segment consists of a mixture of diamonds (whether natural or synthetic, and regardless of the quantity of diamonds) and metal powders (including, but not limited to, iron, cobalt, nickel, tungsten carbide) that are formed together into a solid shape (from generally, but not limited to, a heating and pressing process).

Sawblades with diamonds directly attached to the core with a resin or electroplated bond, which thereby do not contain a diamond segment, are not included within the scope of the order. Diamond sawblades and/or sawblade cores with a thickness of less than 0.025 inches, or with a thickness greater than 1.1 inches, are excluded from the scope of the order. Circular steel plates that have a cutting edge of non-diamond material, such as external teeth that protrude from the outer diameter of the plate, whether or not finished, are excluded from the scope of the order. Diamond sawblade cores with a Rockwell C hardness of less than 25 are excluded from the scope of the order. Diamond sawblades and/or diamond segment(s) with diamonds that predominantly have a mesh size number greater than 240 (such as 250 or 260) are excluded from the scope of the order.

Merchandise subject to the order is typically imported under heading 8202.39.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). When packaged together as a set for retail sale with an item that is separately classified under headings 8202 to 8205 of the HTSUS, diamond sawblades or parts thereof may be imported under heading 8206.00.00.00 of the HTSUS. On October 11, 2011, Commerce included the 6804.21.00.00 HTSUS classification number to the customs case reference file, pursuant to a request by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).^[8] Pursuant to requests by CBP, Commerce included to the customs case reference file the following HTSUS classification numbers: 8202.39.0040 and 8202.39.0070 on January 22, 2015, and 6804.21.0010 and 6804.21.0080 on January 26, 2015.^[9]

The tariff classification is provided for convenience and customs purposes; however, the written description of the scope of the order is dispositive.

Initiation of Changed Circumstances Review

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce will conduct a CCR upon receipt of a request from an interested party or receipt of information concerning an antidumping duty order which shows changed circumstances sufficient to warrant a review of the order. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce finds that Protech provided sufficient information to initiate a CCR. Therefore, we are initiating a CCR pursuant to section 751(b)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d) to determine whether Protech is: (1) Able to identify diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments and exported to the United States; and (2) eligible for the certification process.

Preliminary Results of Changed Circumstances Review

Commerce is conducting this CCR in accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the Act. We preliminarily determine that, since the publication of the Final Determination, Protech has demonstrated in its CCR request that it is able to identify and segregate diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech, using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments and exported to the United States.

Protech claims that, since the publication of the Final Determination, it “has implemented numerous safeguards at its production facility to . . . ensure that Protech will use only non-Chinese origin cores in any of its diamond sawblades that are exported to the United States.” ^[10] Commerce requested Protech to provide a written document describing these implementation plans that were approved by the company, its shareholders, and/or board members, if it is available.^[11] In response, Protech provided a company meeting memorandum, a shareholder resolution, and a memorandum to its staff that memorialized the company's new cores coding system.^[12] The company meeting and the shareholder resolution took place around the time of the publication of the Preliminary Determination.^[13]

Protech claims that it can identify non-Chinese cores and Chinese cores with the logos and additional information that the suppliers of cores engraved in the cores, e.g., the part number associated with Protech and the supplier's order number.^[14] Further, Protech explains that it identifies the country of origin of each shipment of these cores using a certificate of origin that identifies the manufacturer of the merchandise and the manufacturer's address, a commercial invoice that identifies the manufacturer's country of origin, a bill of lading, and a packing list, as applicable.^[15] To support these assertions, Protech provided photos of cores with logos and additional information and documents used to identify the country of origin.^[16]

Protech claims that it stores: (1) Non-Chinese cores separately in manufacturer-specific separate storage zones in its production facility; and (2) Chinese cores on shelves in an entirely separate section of its facility.^[17] Protech explains that maintaining these separate storage zones helps to ensure that Protech uses only cores stored in certain areas when it produces and exports diamond sawblades to the United States.^[18] To support these assertions, Protech provided photos of these storage zones and the blueprint of the production facility with identification of specific storage zones.^[19]

Protech claims that it maintains: (1) Production records that track the sources of the cores that it incorporates into diamond sawblades that it produces and exports; and (2) a monitoring system that tracks all aspects of its inventory (including cores) and classifies its suppliers, which also provides details on each item in inventory, including cores.^[20] Specifically, Protech explains that, when it receives a shipment of cores at its warehouse, its staff will input information related to that shipment, e.g., core size, core specifications, core supplier, stock-keeping unit numbers, storage zone in Protech's warehouse, and quantity received, in its inventory database.^[21] Protech also explains that its production orders, work sheets, and material sheets issued for the production of diamond sawblades trace the country of origin of the cores used in the production process.^[22] To support these assertions, Protech provided production and inventory records and computer screenshots of inventory data maintained in its computer record system showing the inventory of cores on a supplier-specific basis.^[23] Protech also reported that, during production and quality control and before shipment of finished diamond sawblades, it conducts multiple checks using production orders, worksheets, and material sheets to identify and confirm the country of origin of cores in the finished diamond sawblades.^[24] Based on the information provided by Protech, we preliminarily find that Protech is able to identify and effectively segregate diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments from other diamond sawblades produced at its facility.

Based on information provided by Protech, we also preliminarily find that Protech and Gogo are affiliated, in accordance with section 771(33)(F) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(3).^[25] Therefore, we preliminarily find that diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech using Chinese cores and Chinese segments and exported by Gogo to the United States are subject to the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China.

If these preliminary results are adopted in our final results of this CCR, effective on the publication date of our final results, Protech, Gogo and their importers will be eligible, where appropriate, to certify that the diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech and exported by either Protech or Gogo were produced using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments. Attached as Appendix I is draft certification language. Commerce also preliminarily determines, based on the request in this CCR, that no other exporters are eligible for this certification process.^[26]

Suspension of Liquidation and Certification Requirements

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(3), if the final results of this review remain unchanged from the preliminary results, the suspension of liquidation instructions will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and to require a cash deposit of estimated duties on unliquidated entries of diamond sawblades produced (i.e., assembled or completed) using Chinese cores and Chinese segments by Protech in Canada and exported by Gogo that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of initiation of the CCR.^[27]

Diamond sawblades produced by Protech in Canada using non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments and exported from Canada by either Protech or Gogo are not subject to the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China. However, imports of such merchandise are subject to certification requirements, and cash deposits may be required if the certification requirements are not satisfied. Accordingly, if an importer imports finished diamond sawblades produced in Canada by Protech and exported from Canada by either Protech or Gogo and claims that the finished diamond sawblades were produced from non-Chinese cores and Chinese segments, in order not to be subject to cash deposit requirements, the importer and exporter are required to meet the certification and documentation requirements described herein and in the certifications contained in Appendix I. Where no certification is provided for an entry of diamond sawblades produced by Protech in Canada and exported by Protech or Gogo to the United States, and the antidumping duty order on diamond sawblades from China potentially applies to that entry, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to suspend the entry and collect cash deposits at the China-wide rate of 82.05 percent of the entered value of the merchandise.^[28] For shipments and/or entry summaries made on or after the date of publication of the initiation of the CCR through 30 days after the date of publication of the final results of CCR for which certifications are required, importers and exporters should complete the required certification within 30 days after the publication of the final results of this CCR in the Federal Register. Accordingly, where appropriate, the relevant bullet in the certification should be edited to reflect that the certification was completed within the time frame specified above. For such entries/shipments, importers and exporters each have the option to complete a blanket certification covering multiple entries/shipments, individual certifications for each entry/shipment, or a combination thereof. For shipments and/or entries made on or after 31 days after the date of publication of the final results of this CCR in the Federal Register, for which certifications are required, importers should complete the required certification at or prior to the date of entry summary, and exporters should complete the required certification and provide it to the importer at or prior to the date of shipment.
