Ref: Message 9249306, dated 09/06/2019

1. Commerce has amended the final results of its administrative review of the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from the People's Republic of China (China) for the period 01/01/2016 through 12/31/2016. This amendment was published in the Federal Register (84 FR 68102) on 12/13/2019, and changes the cash deposit rate for the producers/exporters as listed in paragraph 2.

2. For modules, laminates, or panels, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 08/28/2019 that were produced in a third country from subject solar cells that were produced in China, the amended cash deposit requirements are as follows for the following third-country case numbers:

Country: Canada
China Solar Cell Producer and/or Exporter: JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd.
Case number: C-122-989-001
Cash deposit rate: 11.76%

Country: Lithuania
China Solar Cell Producer and/or Exporter: Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd.
Case number: C-451-989-001
Cash deposit rate: 11.76%

Country: Malaysia
China Solar Cell Producer and/or Exporter: Hainan Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd.
Case number: C-557-989-001
Cash deposit rate: 11.76%

3. If the third-country producer and/or exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject solar cells produced in China does not have its own rate, the U.S. importer may enter the merchandise at the China solar cell producer's and/or exporter's rate. U.S. importers who wish to enter such merchandise at the company-specific cash deposit rate of the China solar cell producer and/or exporter should contact the port of entry immediately for assistance with obtaining the appropriate company-specific third-country case number if one does not already exist. CBP headquarters should notify Commerce immediately about such requests so that Commerce may establish the appropriate case number in the ACE antidumping/countervailing duty case reference file.

4. If neither the third-country producer and/or exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject solar cells produced in China, nor the China producer and/or exporter that supplied the solar cells used to produce the third-country modules, laminates, or panels has its own rate, use the applicable third-country all others rate (the case number ending with -000).

5. Instructions for granting a request for a refund on any overcollection will be issued in a separate message.

6. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.

7. Do not liquidate any entries of the merchandise covered by the administrative review until specific liquidation instructions are issued.

8.
