The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliances Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System ACCESS.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made changes to the weighted-average dumping margin for the ISEC/ETON entity 9 and the weighted-average rate for companies not selected for individual review in this administrative review; 10 however, no changes were made to the weightedaverage dumping margin for URE. In addition, we: 1 Corrected the name of certain Canadian Solar companies from the Preliminary Results and from the draft U.S. Customs and Border Protection CBP instructions that we released for comment; 11 and 2 added certain case numbers to Commerces draft customs instructions.12
Partial Recission of Administrative Review We originally initiated this review with respect to Inventec Energy Corporation IEC.13 On March 5, 2021, ISEC reported that IEC ceased business operations, and was dissolved and liquidated prior to the POR.14 Therefore, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213d3 and in accordance with the Preliminary Results and Commerce practice, we have completed this review with respect to IEC, and continue to conclude that IEC
had no shipments during the POR.
9 Commerce has determined to collapse Inventec Solar Energy Corporation and ETON Solar Tech.
Co., Ltd., and treat these companies as a single entity for the purposes of this review, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.401f. See Memorandum, 2019

Thus, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213d3, Commerce has rescinded this administrative review with respect to IEC. Therefore, Commerce will issue the appropriate instructions to CBP based on these final results.
Final Determination of No Shipments As noted in the Preliminary Results, we received no-shipment claims from seven producers and/or exporters under review, and we preliminarily determined that these seven companies had no shipments during the POR.15 We received no comments from interested parties with respect to these claims.
Therefore, because we have not received any information to contradict our preliminary no-shipment determination, nor comment in opposition to our preliminary finding and record evidence indicates that these seven companies had no entries of subject merchandise to the United States during the POR, we continue to find that they had no shipments during the POR.16 Consistent with our practice, we have completed the review with respect to these seven companies and will issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on our final results. We will instruct CBP to liquidate any existing entries of subject merchandise produced by the seven companies, but exported by other parties, at the rate for the intermediate reseller, if available, or at the all-others rate.
Final Rates for Non-Examined Companies The statute and Commerces regulations do not address the establishment of a rate to be applied to individual respondents not selected for examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 777Ac2 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended the Act.
Generally, Commerce looks to section 735c5 of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the allothers rate in an investigation, for guidance when calculating the rate for respondents which we did not individually examine in an administrative review. Section 735c5A of the Act establishes a preference to avoid using rates which are zero, de minimis, or based entirely on facts available FA in calculating an all-others rate. Accordingly, 15 See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 22632. These companies are AU Optronics Corporation; Canadian Solar Inc.; Canadian Solar International Limited.;
Canadian Solar Manufacturing Changshu, Inc.;
Canadian Solar Manufacturing Luoyang, Inc.;
Canadian Solar Solutions Inc.; and Vina Solar Technology Co., Ltd.
16 See Preliminary Results, 86 FR at 22632.
