Steel Wire Garment Hangers From the People's Republic of China: 
Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 2013-2014

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: On July 15, 2015, the Department of Commerce (``the 
Department'') published the Preliminary Results of the sixth 
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 made no changes 
to the final margin calculations of Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd. 
(``Shanghai Wells'').\2\ We continue to find Ningbo Dasheng Hanger 
Industry Co., Ltd. (``Ningbo Dasheng'') is not eligible for separate 
rate status and, therefore, is part of the PRC-wide entity. 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, 2013, through September 30, 2014.

China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative 
Review; 2013-2014, 80 FR 41480 (July 15, 2015) (``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:

PRC-Wide Entity

    Shaoxing Dingli and the Shaoxing Entity \6\ failed to respond to 
the Department's requests for information.\7\ These companies, 
therefore, are not eligible for separate rate status.\8\ Additionally, 
Ningbo Dasheng failed to adequately respond to all parts of the 
questionnaire, and therefore, is also not eligible for a separate 
rate.\9\ Accordingly, the Department finds that the PRC-wide entity 
includes these companies.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ We selected two companies for individual examination, 
however, these two companies failed to respond. These companies are: 
1) Shaoxing Dingli Metal Clotheshorse Co., Ltd., (``Shaoxing 
Dingli''); and 2) Shaoxing Gangyuan Metal Manufacture (collectively, 
``the Shaoxing Entity'').

    Regarding the administrative review, the following weighted-average

                                                              Weighted-

Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd.\10\........................       33.24
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ This rate applies to the single entity comprised of 
Shanghai Wells Hanger Co., Ltd., and Hong Kong Wells Ltd.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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).\11\ 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.\12\ 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.\13\ 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.\14\

    \14\ 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.\15\

Cash Deposit Requirements

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

[[Page 69944]]

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: November 5, 2015.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
