1. Commerce has published in the Federal Register (83 FR 34828) on 07/23/2018, the final results of the administrative review of certain producers and/or exporters subject to the countervailing duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells (solar cells), whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China (China) for the period 01/01/2015 through 12/31/2015. 2. As a result of Commerce's administrative review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain producers and/or exporters. Therefore, for modules, laminates, or panels, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/23/2018 that were produced in a third country from subject solar cells that were produced in China, the required cash deposit has been revised for the following third-country case numbers: Country: Canada Chinese solar cell producer and/or exporter: JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. and its cross-owned companies identified below Case number: C-122-989-001 Cash deposit rate: 13.20% Note: The cross-owned companies are: Donghai JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.; Hebei Ningjin Songgong Semiconductor Co., Ltd.; Hebei Ningtong Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; Hebei Yujing Electronic Science and Technology Co., Ltd.; Hefei JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.; JA (Hefei) Renewable Energy Co., Ltd; Jing Hai Yang Semiconductor Material (Donghai) Co., Ltd.; JingAo Solar Co., Ltd.; JingLong Industry and Commerce Group Co., Ltd.; Jingwei Electronic Material Co., Ltd.; Ningjin Changlong Electronic Materials Manufacturing Co.; Ningjin County Jingyuan New Energy Investment Co., Ltd.; Ningjin Guiguang Electronic Investment Co., Ltd.; Ningjin Jingfeng Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; Ninjing Jingxing Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; Ningjin Saimei Ganglong Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; Ningjin Songgong Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; Ningjing Sunshine New Energy Co., Ltd.; Shanghai JA Solar Technology Co., Ltd.; Solar Silicon Valley Electronic Science and Technology Co., Ltd.; Xingtai Jinglong Electronic Materials Co., Ltd.; and Yangguang Guifeng Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. Country: Lithuania China solar cell producer and/or exporter: Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd.

Case number: C-557-989-001 Cash deposit rate: 13.20% 3. If the third-country producer and/or exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject Chinese-produced solar cells does not have its own rate, the U.S. importer may enter the merchandise at the rate applicable to the Chinese solar cell producer's and/or exporter's rate. If there is not already a third-country case number in place associated with the Chinese solar-cell producer, the importer should contact the port of entry immediately for assistance with obtaining the appropriate company-specific third-country case number. CBP should then notify Commerce through an ACE inquiry to request establishment of the third country case number. Note: CBP should notify Commerce in an ACE inquiry about requests for third country company-specific cash deposit rates of a Chinese solar cell producer and/or exporter. 4. If neither the third-country producer and/or exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject Chinese-produced solar cells, 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. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of merchandise included in this administrative review until assessment instructions are issued. 6.
