[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-620 and 731-TA-1445 (Preliminary)]

Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission

United States is materially injured by reason of imports of wooden
cabinets and vanities from China, provided for in subheadings
9403.40.90, 9403.60.80, and 9403.90.70 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States, that are alleged to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized
by the government of China.\2\

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations
Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary
determinations in the investigations under sections 703(b) or 733(b) of
the Act, or, if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon
notice of affirmative final determinations in those investigations
under sections 705(a) or 735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries
of appearance in the preliminary phase of the investigations need not
enter a separate appearance for the final phase of the investigations.
Industrial users, and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold
at the retail level, representative consumer organizations have the
right to appear as parties in Commission antidumping and countervailing
duty investigations. The Secretary will prepare a public service list
containing the names and addresses of all persons, or their
representatives, who are parties to the investigations.
Background
On March 6, 2019, the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance filed
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry
in the United States is materially injured or threatened with material
injury by reason of subsidized imports of wooden cabinets and vanities
from China and LTFV imports of wooden cabinet and vanities from China.
Accordingly, effective March 6, 2019, the Commission, pursuant to
sections 703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and
1673b(a)), instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-620
and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1445 (Preliminary).
Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the
notice in the Federal Register of March 12, 2019 (84 FR 8890). The
conference was held in Washington, DC, on March 27, 2019, and all
persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to appear in
person or by counsel.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to sections
703(a) and 733(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(a) and 1673b(a)). It
completed
[[Page 17891]]
and filed its determinations in these investigations on April 22, 2019.
