Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 2012-2013

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On November 5, 2014, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the Preliminary Results of the fifth 
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on steel wire 
garment hangers from the People's Republic of China (``PRC'').\1\ We 
invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. Based on our 
analysis of the comments and information received, we have not made 
changes to the final margin calculations of Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., 
Ltd. (``Shanghai Wells'').\2\ Listed below in the ``Final Results of 
the Administrative Review'' section of this notice are the final 
dumping margins. The period of review (``POR'') is October 1, 2012, 
through September 31, 2013.\3\

China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2012-2013, 79 FR 65616 (November 5, 2014) (``Preliminary 
Results'').
    \2\ The Department previously found that Shanghai Wells Hanger 
Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Wells Ltd. (``HK Wells'') and Hong Kong Wells 
Ltd. (USA) (``Wells USA'') are affiliated and that Shanghai Wells 
Hanger Co., Ltd. and HK Wells comprise a single entity 
(collectively, ``Shanghai Wells''). Because there were no changes in 
this review to the facts that supported that decision, we continue 
to find Shanghai Wells, HK Wells, and USA Wells are affiliated and 
that Shanghai Wells and HK Wells comprise a single entity. See Steel 
Wire Garment Hangers From the People's Republic of China:

    \3\ The deadline for the final results was March 5, 2015, 
however, due to inclement weather, the government was closed on 
March 5, 2015. Therefore, the deadline for the final results falls 
on the next business day, March 6, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 13333]]

Background

    The Department published the Preliminary Results on November 5, 
2014. On December 5, 2014, M&B Metal Products Inc. (``Petitioner''), 
Fabriclean Supply Inc. (``Fabriclean''), a U.S. importer and 
wholesaler, and Ningbo Dasheng, a mandatory respondent, submitted case 
briefs in the administrative review. On December 10, 2014, Petitioner 
submitted a rebuttal brief.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise that is subject to the order is steel wire garment 
hangers. The products subject to the order are currently classified 
under U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule (``HTSUS'') subheadings 
7326.20.0020, 7323.99.9060, and 7323.99.9080. Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the 
written description of the merchandise remains dispositive. A full 
description of the scope of the order is contained in the Issues and 
Decision Memorandum,\4\ which is hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See the Department's Memorandum, titled ``Steel Wire Garment 
Hangers from the People's Republic of China: Issues and Decision 
Memorandum for the Final Results of the Fourth Antidumping Duty 
Administrative Review and New Shipper Review,'' dated concurrently 
with this notice (``Issues and Decision Memorandum'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis of Comments Received

    All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by interested 
parties in this review are addressed in the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum. A list of the issues which parties raised is attached to 
this notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a 
public document and is on file in the Central Records Unit (``CRU''), 
Room 7046 of the main Department of Commerce building, as well as 
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and 
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (``ACCESS''). 
ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov and 
to all parties in the CRU. In addition, a complete version of the 
Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly on the internet 
at http://www.trade.gov/enforcement/. The signed Issues and Decision 
Memorandum and the electronic versions of the Issues and Decision 
Memorandum are identical in content.

Final Determination of No Shipments

    In the Preliminary Results, the Department preliminarily determined 
that Hangzhou Yingqing Material Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou Qingqing 
Mechanical Co., Ltd., did not have any reviewable transactions during 
the POR. We have not received any information to contradict this 
determination. Therefore, for these final results, the Department 
determines that Hangzhou Yingqing Material Co., Ltd. and Hangzhou 
Qingqing Mechanical Co., Ltd., did not have any reviewable entries of 
subject merchandise during the POR. Accordingly, consistent with the 
Department's refinement to its assessment practice in non-market 
economy (``NME'') cases, the Department intends to issue appropriate 
instructions to Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') based on the 
final results of the review.\5\

Disclosure

    We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the 
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in 
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b), 
the Department will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties 
on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with 
the final results of this review. The Department intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of 
these final results of review.
    Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, we 
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by 
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each 
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered 
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\8\ Where the 
Department calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the 
total amount of dumping for reviewed sales to that party by the total 
sales quantity associated with those transactions, the Department will 
direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the 
resulting per-unit rates.\9\ Where an importer- (or customer-) specific 
ad valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis, the Department 
will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of 
liquidation.\10\ Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem 
or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, the Department will instruct 
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping 
duties.\11\

    \11\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department announced a refinement to its assessment practice in 
NME cases. Pursuant to this refinement in practice, for entries that 
were not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies 
individually examined during this review, the Department will instruct 
CBP to liquidate such entries at the PRC-wide rate. Additionally, if 
the Department determines that an exporter had no shipments of the 
subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that 
exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be 
liquidated at the PRC-wide rate.\12\

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this

[[Page 13334]]

review for shipments of the subject merchandise from the PRC entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the 
publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) 
For the companies listed above, the cash deposit rate will be 
established in the final results of these reviews (except, if the rate 
is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required); (2) 
for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC exporters not 
listed above that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this 
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all PRC 
exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be 
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide 
rate of 187.25 percent; and (4) for all non-PRC exporters of subject 
merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit 
rate will be the rate applicable to the PRC exporter that supplied that 
non-PRC exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective order (``APO'') of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305, which continues 
to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the 
proceeding. We request a timely written notification of the return or 
destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective 
order. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a 
violation which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this administrative review and notice 
in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

    Dated: March 6, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
