1. On 08/28/2019, (84 FR 45125) Commerce published in the Federal Register its final results of 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) (subject merchandise) for the period 01/01/2016 through 12/31/2016. Concurrent with these third-country cash deposit instructions, Commerce is issuing cash deposit instructions with regard to this merchandise produced in China. Those cash deposit instructions do not include the relevant case numbers for modules, laminates, or panels, produced in a third country from subject solar cells produced in China. Accordingly, we are issuing these instructions.

2. As a result of Commerce's review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain companies. Accordingly, for modules, laminates, or panels, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 08/28/2019 that were produced in a third country from subject solar cells that were produced in China, the required cash deposit has been revised 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: 11.81%

Country: Lithuania
China Solar Cell Producer and/or Exporter: Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd.
Case number: C-451-989-001
Cash deposit rate: 11.81%

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: 11.81%

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. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of subject merchandise until specific assessment instructions are issued.
