see Memorandum, ``Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of 
the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review: Wooden Bedroom Furniture 
from the People's Republic of China,'' dated October 2, 2019 
(Preliminary Decision Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Analysis

    In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that the following 
four companies had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United 
States during the POR: (1) Sunforce Furniture (Hui-Yang) Co., Ltd., Sun 
Fung Wooden Factory, Sun Fung Co., Shin Feng Furniture Co., Ltd., 
Stupendous International Co., Ltd.; (2) Eurosa (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. and 
Eurosa Furniture Co., (PTE) Ltd.; (3) Shenyang Shining Dongxing 
Furniture Co., Ltd.; and (4) Yeh Brothers World Trade Inc.\4\ No 
parties commented on the Preliminary Results. In these final results of 
review, we are adopting the decisions in the Preliminary Decision 
Memorandum, and continue to find that the four companies listed above 
had no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the 
POR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, we 
are not conducting a review of that entity \5\ and have not changed the 
antidumping duty cash deposit rate for the China-wide entity. The 
existing antidumping duty cash deposit rate for the China-wide entity 
is 216.01 percent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity 
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963, 65969-70 (November 
4, 2013).

which is a public document and is on file 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 in the Central Records 
Unit, room B8024 of the main Commerce building. In addition, a complete

Assessment Rates

    Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and 
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance 
with the final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue 
assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of 
the final results of this review. Pursuant to Commerce's practice in 
non-market economy cases, if there are any suspended entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR under the case numbers of the four companies 
that claimed no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, they 
will be liquidated at the China-wide rate.\6\

Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon

[[Page 7732]]

subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date in the Federal 
Register of the final results of this review, as provided by section 
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the four 
companies listed above, which had no shipments of subject merchandise 
to the United States during the POR, will continue to be the existing 
cash deposit rates for those companies; (2) for previously investigated 
or reviewed China and non-China exporters which are not under review in 
this segment of the proceeding but which received a separate rate in a 
prior segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue 
to be the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all China exporters 
of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a 
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-
wide entity, which is 216.01 percent; and (4) for all non-China 
exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own cash 
deposit rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the 
China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter.
    These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect 
until further notice.

Notification to Interested Parties

    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 Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APOs) 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. Timely written notification of the return/destruction of 
APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation that is subject to sanction.
    This notice of the final results of this antidumping duty 
administrative review is issued and published in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213 and 19 CFR 
351.221(b)(5).

    Dated: February 4, 2020.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
