Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this investigation in accordance with 
section 731 of the Act. Commerce has calculated export prices in 
accordance with section 772(a) of the Act. Because China is a non-
market economy, within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, 
Commerce has calculated normal value in accordance with section 773(c) 
of the Act. In addition, pursuant to section 776(a) and (b) of the Act, 
Commerce has relied on facts otherwise available, with adverse 
inferences, for the China-wide entity. For a full description of the 
methodology underlying Commerce's preliminary determination, see the 
Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Negative Determination of Critical Circumstances

    In accordance with section 733(e)(1) of the Act, Commerce 
preliminarily determines that information provided in the critical 
circumstances allegation does not demonstrate the existence of critical 
circumstances with respect to imports of ceramic tile from China. For a 
full description of the methodology and results of Commerce's analysis, 
see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Combination Rates

    In the Initiation Notice,\9\ Commerce stated that it would 
calculate producer/exporter combination rates for the respondents that 
are eligible for a separate rate in this investigation. Policy Bulletin 
05.1 describes this practice.\10\ In this investigation, we calculated 
producer/exporter combination rates for respondents eligible for 
separate rates.

China-Wide Entity \11\.......................  .................................              356.02
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Suspension of Liquidation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ Commerce preliminarily determined that Jiaxing Xingcheng 
Electronics Co., Ltd., Ningbo Panxiang Imp & Exp Co., Ltd., Ningbo 
Zhonglian Fastener Co., Ltd., and Ningbo Zhong Xin Angora Spinning 
Mill failed to establish their eligibility for a separate rate and, 
therefore, preliminarily determined that these companies are part of 
the China-wide entity. See Preliminary Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In accordance with section 703(d)(1)(B) and (d)(2) of the Act, 
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise as described in 
the scope of the investigation section entered, or withdrawn from 
warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. Further, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.205(d), 
Commerce will instruct CBP to require a cash deposit equal to the rates 
indicated above.

Disclosure

    Commerce intends to disclose to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with this preliminary determination within five 
days of its public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the 
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Verification

    As provided in section 782(i)(1) of the Act, Commerce intends to 
verify information relied upon in making its final determination.

Public Comment

    Case briefs or other written comments may be submitted to the 
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance no later than seven 
days after the date on which the last final verification report is 
issued in this investigation. Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised 
in case briefs, may be submitted no later than five days after the 
deadline date for case briefs.\12\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and 
(d)(2), parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this 
investigation are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) A 
statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a 
table of authorities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general 
filing requirements).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain 
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of 
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list 
of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, 
Commerce intends to hold the hearing at the U.S. Department of 
Commerce, 1401 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC, 20230, at a time 
and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the 
date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled 
date.

Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional 
Measures

    Section 735(a)(2) of the Act provides that a final determination 
may be postponed until not later than 135 days after the date of the 
publication of the preliminary determination if, in the event of an 
affirmative preliminary determination, a request for such postponement 
is made by exporters who account for a significant proportion of 
exports of the subject merchandise, or in the event of a negative 
preliminary determination, a request for such postponement is made by 
the petitioners. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.210(e)(2), Commerce requires 
that requests by respondents for postponement of a final antidumping 
determination be accompanied by a request for extension of provisional 
measures from a four-month period to a period not more than six months 
in duration.
    Between October 28, 2019, and October 30, 2019, pursuant to 19 CFR 
351.210(e), Belite, Foshan Sanfi, and the petitioner requested that 
Commerce postpone the final determination and that provisional measures 
be extended to a period not to exceed six months.\13\

[[Page 61887]]

In accordance with section 735(a)(2)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 
351.210(b)(2)(ii), because (1) the preliminary determination is 
affirmative; (2) the requesting exporters account for a significant 
proportion of exports of the subject merchandise; and (3) no compelling 
reasons for denial exist, Commerce is postponing the final 
determination and extending the provisional measures from a four-month 
period to a period not greater than six months. Accordingly, Commerce's 
final determination will be issued no later than 135 days after the 
date of publication of this preliminary determination.

determination of sales at LTFV. If the final determination is 
affirmative, the ITC will determine before the later of 120 days after 
the date of this preliminary determination or 45 days after the final 
determination whether these imports of the subject merchandise are

Scope of the Investigation

    The merchandise covered by this investigation is ceramic 
flooring tile, wall tile, paving tile, hearth tile, porcelain tile, 
mosaic tile, flags, finishing tile, and the like (hereinafter 
ceramic tile). Ceramic tiles are articles containing a mixture of 
minerals including clay (generally hydrous silicates of alumina or 
magnesium) that are fired so the raw materials are fused to produce 
a finished good that is less than 3.2 cm in actual thickness. All 
ceramic tile is subject to the scope regardless of end use, surface 
area, and weight, regardless of whether the tile is glazed or 
unglazed, regardless of the water absorption coefficient by weight, 
regardless of the extent of vitrification, and regardless of whether 
or not the tile is on a backing. Subject merchandise includes 
ceramic tile with decorative features that may in spots exceed 3.2 
cm in thickness and includes ceramic tile ``slabs'' or ``panels'' 
(tiles that are larger than 1 meter\2\ (11 ft.\2\)).
    Subject merchandise includes ceramic tile that undergoes minor 
processing in a third country prior to importation into the United 
States. Similarly, subject merchandise includes ceramic tile 
produced that undergoes minor processing after importation into the 
United States. Such minor processing includes, but is not limited 
to, one or more of the following: Beveling, cutting, trimming, 
staining, painting, polishing, finishing, additional firing, or any 
other processing that would otherwise not remove the merchandise 
from the scope of the investigation if performed in the country of 
manufacture of the in-scope product.
    Subject merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under the following 
subheadings of heading 6907: 6907.21.1005, 6907.21.1011,
